Jennie's "Dracula": Inside Its Record-Setting Billboard Hot 100 Run

Jennie's "Dracula," a remix collaboration with Australian psychedelic rock act Tame Impala, has spent months camped inside the Billboard Hot 100's top 10 — an unusually long run that's made it the highest-charting song of her solo career and one of the more surprising crossover hits in recent Hot 100 history. What began as a guest feature on someone else's song has turned into a genre-spanning chart fixture, holding its ground even as country music mounted one of the most dominant runs the Hot 100 has ever seen.

How "Dracula" Came Together

"Dracula" originally released as a Tame Impala solo single in September 2025 from the band's album Deadbeat. A remix featuring Jennie followed on February 6, 2026, after Tame Impala's Kevin Parker teased the collaboration on social media, including a since-edited line in the original music video's description that swapped his own name for Jennie's. As the remix version's chart performance grew, Jennie's contribution was formally credited on the Hot 100 starting with the chart dated April 4, 2026, when the song stood at No. 24 — meaning her involvement helped drive a song that was already climbing even higher from that point on.

A Record-Setting Chart Run

"Dracula" gave both Jennie and Tame Impala their first-ever Hot 100 top 10 entry, eventually peaking at No. 5 on two separate occasions and marking the highest Hot 100 position of Jennie's solo career, surpassing the No. 51 peak of her earlier collaboration "One of the Girls" with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp. As of the chart dated August 15, 2026, the song had logged 11 total weeks inside the Hot 100's top 10, holding at No. 8 that week. Beyond the main chart, "Dracula" built an even more dominant record on Billboard's genre charts, spending 30 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and 12 consecutive weeks atop the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, alongside a stint at No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart — an unusually broad spread of chart dominance for a single song.

Holding the Line Against a Country Takeover

Part of what's made "Dracula's" run notable is the chart environment it's had to survive. In early August 2026, the Hot 100's entire top five was occupied by country songs for the first time in the chart's history, led by Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas," which logged 16 consecutive weeks at No. 1 — a mark reached by only a handful of songs since Billboard began tracking the chart in 1958. Even as that country wave pushed most non-country releases down the chart, "Dracula" held at No. 6 that week, later climbing back to No. 8, demonstrating staying power industry coverage attributed to a mix of continued short-form video engagement and Jennie's live performances of the song at major festivals, including Lollapalooza Chicago, Denmark's Roskilde Festival, and Poland's Open'er Festival, plus a surprise joint performance with Tame Impala during a Boston show.

Part of a Broader Hot 100 Presence

"Dracula" hasn't been an isolated success — by April 2026, Jennie had logged a total of seven credited songs on the Hot 100, setting a new personal record for the most Hot 100 entries by a K-pop female solo artist. That same month, she also became the second BLACKPINK member, after Rosé, to reach the Hot 100's top 10 as a soloist.
