Jennie becomes first K-pop artist to spend 16 weeks in top 10 ‘Dracula’ makes new Billboard history with longest run by K-pop singer on U.S. Billboard Hot 100

An unprecedented run that has shaken the global pop scene

‘Dracula’, the captivating track released by Blackpink’s Jennie in collaboration with Australian global artist Tame Impala, has set a new record by remaining in the top 10 on the U.S. Billboard main singles chart, the Hot 100, longer than any other K-pop artist.

According to a chart preview article published by Billboard on the 14th local time, ‘Dracula’ held firmly at No. 6 on this week’s Hot 100, matching its position from the previous week. The feat finally surpasses the record set by ‘Butter’, the megahit by BTS that played a pivotal role in globalizing Korean popular music, which spent 15 consecutive weeks in the top 10.

The song’s success story captures a new paradigm in the modern music industry. ‘Dracula’ first reached the public in October last year as a solo original by Tame Impala. It hit a decisive turning point in February this year when it was reborn as a remix featuring Jennie’s signature stylish vocals. The track then swept across global short-form platforms, sparking voluntary viral support from music fans around the world and completing a remarkable chart resurgence.

After surging to a peak of No. 5 on the Hot 100 amid explosive public support, the song has settled into a long-running trajectory that goes beyond a passing trend. The achievement has once again cemented worldwide Jennie’s powerful global reach and exceptional musical instincts for leading trends.
