Jennie Makes Billboard Radio History as “Dracula” Featuring Tame Impala Climbs Into the Top 3

BLACKPINK’s Jennie has reached another major milestone in her solo career, this time on one of American radio’s most competitive charts. According to the latest Billboard rankings released on July 5 (local time), Jennie and Australian music project Tame Impala climbed to No. 3 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart with their collaboration “Dracula.” The achievement marks the highest position either artist has ever reached on the chart, further highlighting Jennie’s growing influence in the U.S. mainstream music market.

The accomplishment is particularly significant because Billboard’s Radio Songs chart measures audience impressions across radio stations spanning every genre in the United States. Unlike streaming charts, which are often driven by fan activity, radio success reflects widespread public appeal and continued support from radio programmers. For international artists, especially K-pop acts, earning heavy rotation on American radio has traditionally been one of the industry’s toughest barriers to overcome. Jennie’s latest achievement signals that her music is resonating well beyond her established fanbase.

“Dracula,” a remix collaboration between Jennie and Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, has been on an impressive upward trajectory since its release earlier this year. The track first entered Billboard’s Radio Songs chart in April before steadily climbing through the rankings over several months. It broke into the Top 10 in early June, rose to No. 8, then No. 6, and has now reached a new career peak at No. 3. The gradual rise demonstrates exceptional longevity, an increasingly rare feat in today’s fast-moving music landscape where songs often experience rapid spikes before quickly fading.

The song’s success extends far beyond radio airplay. This week, “Dracula” also returned to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, the publication’s flagship singles chart, while maintaining its dominance at No. 1 on both the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and Dance Streaming Songs charts. Internationally, the track climbed back to No. 6 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 7 on the Global 200, demonstrating strong worldwide demand. It also ranked No. 12 on both the Digital Song Sales and Songs of the Summer charts, while reaching No. 25 on Streaming Songs. Jennie herself extended her presence on the Billboard Artist 100, earning her 16th week as a solo artist on the ranking.

For Jennie, the achievement continues a remarkable run of solo milestones. Since launching her individual career outside BLACKPINK’s group promotions, she has consistently expanded her international presence through music, fashion, and brand partnerships. Earlier this year, “Dracula” became her first Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, making her only the second BLACKPINK member after Rosé to reach that milestone as a soloist. The collaboration also introduced her to a broader audience by blending Kevin Parker’s signature psychedelic pop production with Jennie’s distinctive vocals, creating a crossover record that has found success across multiple formats.

The steady rise of “Dracula” also reflects the continued global expansion of K-pop. While Korean artists have dominated streaming services and social media for years, sustained success on American radio has remained comparatively rare. Jennie’s breakthrough demonstrates how collaborations between K-pop artists and internationally established musicians can bridge audiences while opening new opportunities for Korean acts in Western markets.

Momentum for “Dracula” shows no signs of slowing. Just days after reaching No. 3 on the Radio Songs chart, the track went on to top Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart and climbed to a new peak of No. 8 on the Hot 100, suggesting that its U.S. success may continue in the weeks ahead. As Jennie balances her thriving solo career with BLACKPINK’s ongoing activities, fans will be watching closely to see just how much higher “Dracula” can soar.
