The remix version of Tame Impala's "Dracula," featuring BLACKPINK's Jennie, has set a new K-pop record.

"Dracula" ranked sixth on the latest U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart released on the 15th (local time), matching Jeonju's position. The song has remained in the top 10 for 16 consecutive weeks, marking the longest run in the top 10 for a track featuring a K-pop artist. The previous record was held by BTS's "Butter" at 15 weeks.

"Dracula" was originally released as a solo single by Australian musician Tame Impala in October last year. A remix version featuring Jennie was released approximately four months later, on February 6 this year.

Following the release, "Dracula" saw a noticeable rise in popularity. It began gaining renewed attention through short-form content. The remix version went viral on platforms like TikTok, boosting the song's popularity and causing its chart position to climb rapidly on the Billboard charts. It first entered the top 10 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in May and reached as high as fifth place in July, marking Jennie's highest-charting solo artist debut since her official solo launch.

This week, it secured sixth place, extending its run in the top 10 to 16 consecutive weeks. This surpasses the previous record of 14 weeks set by Rosé and Bruno Mars' "APT." and also exceeds BTS's 2021 record of 15 weeks with "Butter."

"Dracula" has now spent its 50th week on the Billboard Hot 100, with a peak position of fifth. For Jennie, this adds another milestone to her personal Billboard achievements.

Jennie's first entry onto the Hot 100 came in 2023 with "One Of The Girls," an original soundtrack from the HBO drama "The Idol." It debuted at number 51 on the chart. In the series, Jennie portrayed Diane, a friend and backup dancer to the protagonist Jocelyn (played by Lily-Rose Depp), marking her acting debut as well.

Subsequently, her solo tracks achieved the following positions: "Mantra" at 98, "Love Hangover (feat. Dominic Fike)" at 96, "ExtraL (feat. Doechii)" at 75, "like JENNIE" at 83, and "Handlebars (feat. Dua Lipa)" at 80. With "Dracula," which she performed alongside Tame Impala, reaching as high as fifth place, Jennie has now set a new personal record for her highest Hot 100 ranking.

After Jennie's involvement, "Dracula" gained further momentum and, after nearly a year on the charts, has now established a new record as the longest-running track featuring a K-pop artist in the Billboard Hot 100 top 10.
