Jennie Makes Billboard Radio History as “Dracula” Featuring Tame Impala Climbs to New Career High

BLACKPINK’s Jennie continues to rewrite the record books in the United States. The singer has achieved another major milestone after her collaboration with Australian music project Tame Impala, “Dracula,” climbed to a new career high on Billboard’s prestigious Radio Songs chart. According to the latest chart update released on July 5 (local time), the hit track surged to No. 3, making it the highest-charting song on the ranking for both Jennie and Tame Impala. The achievement further cements Jennie’s growing influence as a solo artist in the global music industry and highlights the song’s remarkable staying power months after its release.

Billboard’s Radio Songs chart measures audience impressions across radio stations of all formats throughout the United States, making it one of the industry’s strongest indicators of mainstream airplay. Unlike streaming or digital sales charts, success on Radio Songs reflects consistent support from radio programmers and sustained public demand. Reaching the chart’s top three is considered a significant accomplishment, particularly for international artists, making Jennie’s latest achievement all the more noteworthy.

The collaboration has steadily built momentum since its release earlier this year. Originally debuting outside the Top 20, “Dracula” gradually climbed the rankings through a combination of strong streaming numbers, increasing radio rotation, and enthusiastic fan support. Before reaching No. 3, the song had already broken into the Top 10 and continued setting new personal records for both artists almost every week. Its latest jump represents another milestone in what has become one of the year’s biggest crossover success stories.

Beyond its impressive radio performance, “Dracula” continues to post strong results across Billboard’s major charts. This week, the song returned to its peak position of No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, demonstrating its enduring popularity in the United States. It also maintained its dominance at No. 1 on both the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and Dance Streaming Songs charts, while climbing to No. 6 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 7 on the Global 200. Additional gains on the Streaming Songs, Digital Song Sales, and Songs of the Summer charts underscore the track’s broad appeal across multiple listening platforms. Jennie also extended her run on the Billboard Artist 100, marking her 16th week on the chart as a solo performer.

For Jennie, the achievement represents another landmark moment in a solo career that has continued to reach new heights. Since branching out from BLACKPINK’s group activities, she has established herself as a formidable global artist capable of competing in one of the world’s most competitive music markets. Her collaboration with Tame Impala has introduced her to an even wider audience by blending alternative psychedelic pop with her distinctive vocal style, creating a track that resonated with listeners far beyond the K-pop community.

The song’s success also reflects the increasing impact of Korean artists on mainstream Western radio, an area that has traditionally been difficult for non-English acts to penetrate. While K-pop has long dominated streaming platforms and social media, consistent radio airplay has often remained a challenging hurdle. Jennie’s performance on the Radio Songs chart signals another step forward in breaking those barriers.

With “Dracula” continuing to perform strongly across multiple Billboard charts, fans will be watching closely to see whether the song can climb even higher in the coming weeks. As Jennie continues her solo promotions and BLACKPINK prepares for future activities, this latest achievement adds another impressive chapter to an already record-breaking year.
