BLACKPINK member Jennie has achieved a new career high on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, with “Dracula,” her collaboration with Australian musician Tame Impala, rising to No. 3 and matching the peak reached by fellow group member Rose’s “APT.”

According to Billboard’s latest chart released Tuesday, local time, Dracula climbed two spots from the previous week to No. 3, marking the 58th week on the Hot 100. The song has continued to gain momentum despite being released more than a year ago, climbing to a new peak rather than fading from the chart.

The achievement is also notable among female K-pop artists. Excluding “Golden,” from the soundtrack of the animated film, “KPop Demon Hunters,” which topped the chart at No. 1, Dracula and Rose’s APT share the highest position ever reached by a female K-pop artist on the Hot 100.

The milestone underscores BLACKPINK members’ growing presence in the U.S. music market through their solo careers.

The song’s success has followed an unusual trajectory. Initially released as a solo track by Tame Impala in October last year, Dracula gained fresh momentum after a remix featuring Jennie came out in February this year. The song spread rapidly across short-form video platforms, with online buzz translating into streaming consumption and driving its resurgence on the chart.

Its 58-week run and new career-high ranking suggest success that goes beyond a short-lived viral moment.

Attention is now turning to the Grammy Awards, with speculation over whether Jennie could earn a nomination when the nominees are announced next week, as Dracula continues its extended run.

Other K-pop artists also posted strong results on Billboard’s latest charts.

“Animal” by KATSEYE, the multinational girl group formed through a joint venture between HYBE and a U.S. partner, ranked No. 32 on the Hot 100. Although it fell five places from the previous week, it extended its chart run to 16 consecutive weeks.
