Jennie just set a new personal record in the United States. Her collaboration with Tame Impala, the single Dracula, has climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, a career high for the BLACKPINK star as a credited artist.
The track was already one of 2026’s most surprising crossovers, but this new top 5 peak confirms it as a full mainstream breakthrough. Coming after a No. 1 run on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart and an earlier No. 8 Hot 100 high, Dracula has turned an indie cult project into a pop radio staple, powered in large part by Jennie’s remix, TikTok and a growing list of live stages.
Jennie’s Dracula Breakthrough on the Billboard Hot 100
Allkpop’s chart update states that Jennie and Tame Impala’s Dracula has now reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, described as a career high for Jennie. That means the single outperforms every previous U.S. chart appearance she has made, whether solo or in features, and extends the record that began when the song first hit No. 8.
Billboard had already highlighted Dracula as the highest Hot 100 placement ever for both Tame Impala and Jennie when it sat at No. 8, alongside its No. 1 position on the Pop Airplay chart dated July 11. For a K pop woman, landing inside the Hot 100’s top 5 remains rare, which is why this step up from top 10 hit to top 5 smash feels so significant for BLINKs watching her solo path.
How the Jennie and Tame Impala Remix Took Over Pop Radio
Dracula started as an album cut on Tame Impala’s LP Deadbeat, part of Kevin Parker’s long shift toward sleeker electro pop. The official remix featuring Jennie wove her vocals throughout the track, not just as a late guest verse, turning the song into a true two artist collaboration instead of a simple feature.
Billboard staffers largely agree that the Jennie remix was crucial for pushing Dracula out of Tame Impala’s usual alternative lane and into Hot 100 top 10 territory. A viral TikTok trend built around Jennie’s line, “My friends are saying, ‘Shut up, Jennie, just get in the car,’” gave the song a second wind on the charts, pulling in listeners who might never have pressed play on Tame Impala before and helping fuel the jump from No. 8 to No. 5.
Inside Jennie’s Dracula Era and What Comes Next
The story is not just happening on charts and For You pages. At Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival 2026, Jennie performed Dracula as part of an “epic set,” bringing this crossover hit to a massive European rock and pop crowd and proving the collab works just as well live as it does on streaming playlists.
Billboard writers describe Jennie as one of the world’s biggest pop stars, and Dracula now stands as a clear benchmark in that status, the moment her name helped carry a psych rooted project into top 40 dominance. With Tame Impala’s success showing how an alt act and a K pop idol can meet at the center of U.S. pop radio, fans will be watching to see whether Jennie’s next moves repeat this formula or push into an entirely new lane.
