Blackpink

member Jennie grabbed her first-ever solo top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with Dracula. Her viral collaboration with Australian psychedelic rock project Tame Impala climbed to No. 10 on the prestigious ranking, marking a massive milestone for Jennie as a soloist. It also ushers in a new era of global success for the K-pop idol, who is now the second member of the girl band to hit the mark Rosé, whose APT with Bruno Mars, climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2025. Infact, Jennie jumped from No. 18 the previous week into the top 10, a feat that was confirmed by Billboard itself.

About Dracula

Dracula was originally released as a solo track by Tame Impala in October 2025. It found renewed momentum after Jennie joined a remix version released earlier this year. The collaboration quickly exploded across social media, mainly TikTok and short-form video platforms, with fans repeatedly using the catchy lyric, "Shut up, Jennie, just get in the car," in viral edits and lip-sync videos.

Jennie's big achievement on Billboard Hot 100

The remix's popularity translated directly into chart success. Billboard revealed the data on May 11, stating that Dracula pulled in over 12 million streams during the latest tracking week, while radio airplay also saw a major increase. The song's steady rise has not only given Jennie her biggest solo chart achievement but also delivered Tame Impala its first-ever Hot 100 top 10 hit.Jennie's debut album Ruby sent multiple tracks to the Billboard Hot 100, but none of them reached the top 40. The songs even fell short of emerging as major winners when it came to the airwaves.

Why is the milestone important for Jennie and Blackpink?

Jennie's latest with Dracula milestone places Blackpink in elite company alongside legendary groups such as Destiny's Child, Fifth Harmony, Fleetwood Mac, and The Go-Go's. All these groups have multiple female members holding solo Hot 100 top 10 hits. Both Jennie and Rosé have now proven themselves as individual chart forces in the American music market, while fans continue speculating whether fellow members Lisa and Jisoo could soon add their names to the list as well.

Jennie's rising clout on US charts

Beyond the Hot 100, Jennie is also quietly building an impressive legacy on U.S. radio charts -something especially difficult for K-pop soloists. Dracula recently surged to No. 29 on Billboard's Radio Songs chart, officially surpassing fellow Blackpink bandmate Lisa's previous radio peak with Maroon 5's Priceless. The track is now considered one of the highest-charting radio hits ever associated with a K-pop soloist.Only a handful of K-pop artists have managed similar radio success in the United States. Rosé's APT remains one of the strongest performers, while songs like Gangnam Style by PSY and Left and Right by Jungkook also made a significant impact. Jennie’s current trajectory suggests Dracula could continue climbing even higher.
