Jennie of Blackpink has set a new personal best on the Billboard Hot 100, the United States' main singles chart.
The milestone marks the peak of her solo career to date. The remix of "Dracula" by Australian musician Tame Impala, featuring Jennie on vocals, has surged back into the upper reaches of the Billboard chart on the strength of strong global fan support.
According to a preview of the latest chart published by Billboard on Monday (local time), "Dracula" climbed four spots from the previous week to land at No. 10 on the Hot 100.
The song had already cracked the top 10 last month, and within a month it has done so again — a rare second-wind run, with Jennie at its center.
"Dracula" was originally released in October last year as a solo track by Tame Impala, a leading figure in psychedelic pop. When the remix featuring Jennie dropped in February, the global music world took notice. Jennie's verse spread rapidly as a challenge soundtrack across TikTok and other short-form platforms, capturing the MZ generation worldwide. That organic wave of user-generated content drove a surge in streams on Spotify, Apple Music and other major streaming platforms, carrying the track into the Hot 100 top 10 just four months after the original release.
Jennie has built a reputation as a prolific collaborator. She previously logged an extended run on the Hot 100 with "One of the Girls," the HBO series "The Idol" soundtrack recorded with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, peaking at No. 51. Other charting tracks from her studio album include "ExtaL" featuring Doechii at No. 74, "Handlebars" featuring Dua Lipa at No. 80, and "Love Hangover" featuring Dominic Fike at No. 96.
