Jennie's 'Dracula' Collaboration Reaches No. 7 on Pop Airplay Chart, Tying K-Pop Records
Tame Impala and Jennie's "Dracula" climbed to No. 7 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart, tying the highest peak position ever achieved by a K-pop artist on that chart. The song now matches "Butter" by BTS and "Cupid" by Fifty Fifty, marking a historic achievement for Jennie and the highest chart position for any Blackpink member on the Pop Airplay chart. This milestone reflects the growing mainstream success of K-pop artists on U.S. pop radio.
Tame Impala and Jennie's collaboration "Dracula" has reached No. 7 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart, climbing from No. 9 the previous week. This achievement ties the song with "Butter" by BTS and "Cupid" by Fifty Fifty as the fourth-highest-peaking songs by K-pop artists on the chart. The position marks an all-time peak for both Tame Impala and Jennie individually, and notably surpasses any previous chart performance by Blackpink on the Pop Airplay chart, where the group had previously scored four entries but none in the top 10. Only three K-pop songs have charted higher: Rosé and Bruno Mars' "Apt." at No. 1, "Golden" by KPop Demon Hunters, and BTS's "Dynamite" at No. 5. The song's success demonstrates the increasing mainstream acceptance of K-pop collaborations on U.S. pop radio.
