Jennie’s ‘Dracula’ Climbs to No. 3 — and Ties Rosé’s K-Pop Solo Record

‘Dracula’ is No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated November 14, up two places from No. 5. Billboard’s chart preview, released November 9 and reported by The Korea Herald and Sports Chosun, puts the Tame Impala and JENNIE collaboration at the highest peak a female K-pop soloist has ever reached on the chart — a peak Jennie now shares with her own bandmate. Rosé got there first, with ‘APT.’ in February 2025. As of this week the record carries two names, and both of them are in BLACKPINK.

The week that did it was Halloween week. In the October 30 to November 5 tracking period, the song’s U.S. streams jumped 31% to 9.4 million, Billboard reported, with sales up to 2,000, in a chart topped by Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ for a 27th week and Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ at No. 2. The Hot 100 blends streaming, radio airplay and sales, so a No. 3 there is not one audience — it is all of them at once. A Halloween song climbed past nearly everything, in the one week Halloween songs own.

Fifty-eight weeks

The climb is the record inside the record. ‘Dracula’ reaches the top three in its 58th week on the Hot 100 — the longest climb to the top three in the chart’s history, Billboard reported, passing the 51 weeks Glass Animals’ ‘Heat Waves’ needed in 2021–22. The count runs from the song’s first chart entry, including the months before Jennie’s version existed, which makes the shape of the thing stranger: most of that climb belongs to a song that had not yet become the collaboration now sitting at No. 3.

‘Dracula’ began as a Tame Impala track. Kevin Parker released it in fall 2025 on his album Deadbeat, and it settled in as a slow-burning album cut. The remix — Jennie’s vocals added, with a new section the original does not have — arrived on February 6, 2026, took off on short-form video, and the chart credit became Tame Impala & JENNIE. It has been climbing, in public, ever since.

Radio took the longest to arrive and may matter most. The song sits at No. 1 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart for an eighth week, and it leads Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for a 44th week and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs for a 25th — a psychedelic-rock record and a K-pop record holding three different format charts at the same time.

Two bandmates, one ceiling

The tie is the part the fans will argue about, and the numbers are not ambiguous. Rosé’s ‘APT.,’ her collaboration with Bruno Mars, peaked at No. 3 in February 2025, and for twenty months that mark stood alone as the female K-pop soloist ceiling on the Hot 100. ‘Dracula’ reaching the same line does not raise the ceiling. It puts a second BLACKPINK name against it. Both peaks came on collaborations — Rosé with Bruno Mars, Jennie with Tame Impala — which says something about how K-pop solo records now get made in America: paired with an established act, then carried by both audiences at once.

What happens next is a chart question, not a coronation: ‘Choosin’ Texas’ has held No. 1 for 27 weeks, and the Halloween lift that pushed ‘Dracula’ to No. 3 is a week old now. But the slow record is already permanent. Fifty-eight weeks is the longest any song has taken to get this high — longer than ‘Heat Waves,’ the song that redefined slow. The climb itself is now the standard every slow burn gets measured against.
