Jennie’s Dracula just hit the Billboard Hot 100 top 10, and one viral line is changing her solo era

Jennie just scored her biggest U.S. chart moment yet. The Tame Impala collaboration Dracula, reissued as a remix featuring the BLACKPINK star, has climbed to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, a new peak that cements the song as her highest-charting track on the main U.S. singles chart.

For anyone checking “Jennie Dracula Billboard Hot 100” this week, the headline is clear: top 10 hit, rising airplay, and a viral sound that refuses to slow down. Wrapped up with her festival headliner run and upcoming Lollapalooza slot, this single is quietly rewriting what Jennie’s solo era looks like in the Western pop space.

“Dracula” Featuring Jennie Hits No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100

According to the latest Billboard update, Dracula has jumped two spots to No. 8 on the Hot 100, its highest position so far. That new peak marks a personal best on the chart for both Tame Impala, the project led by Kevin Parker, and Jennie.

The song is not just a streaming favorite. Billboard reports that Dracula now sits at No. 1 on the Pop Airplay chart, making it the most-played song on U.S. top 40 radio this week. For a K-pop idol, having their name attached to a pop radio staple like this is a different kind of breakthrough than a one-week viral spike.

Dracula first arrived as a Tame Impala solo track in October of last year. The February remix featuring Jennie gave it new life, and the climb from an earlier No. 10 Hot 100 showing to today’s No. 8 peak shows that momentum is still building.

From Album Cut to Viral Jennie Remix

The key twist in the song’s story is how the remix recentered Dracula around Jennie. Instead of a single guest verse, her vocals are threaded through the track, making her presence unmistakable in every hook and pre-chorus.

That structure turned one line into a social media phenomenon. On TikTok and other short-form platforms, creators grabbed Jennie’s bit, “My friends are saying, ‘Shut up, Jennie, just get in the car,’” and turned it into a meme sound that Billboard credits with giving the song a second wind on the Hot 100.

Billboard critics are blunt about her role in the crossover. One writer states, “This song is not a Hot 100 top 10 without JENNIE on it,” arguing that her star power and fandom pulled Dracula out of Tame Impala’s usual alternative lane and into pop radio territory.

Jennie’s Solo Power: Festivals, Pop Radio and What Comes Next

The chart run of Dracula is arriving alongside a major live glow-up for Jennie. Her agency says she headlined Denmark’s Roskilde Festival and Poland’s Open’er Festival on back-to-back nights, becoming the first K-pop solo artist to top two major European festival lineups consecutively.

Roskilde’s head of music Thomas Soenderby Jepsen said Jennie’s inclusion “reflects current trends and reinforces Roskilde’s identity as a festival moving toward the future.” Open’er organizers went further, calling her “one of the most influential female artists of this era.” On those stages she performed solo tracks like Mantra, ExtraL, Starlight and Like Jennie, the same name now attached to a U.S. top 10 and Pop Airplay No. 1.

That momentum will keep rolling through more global festivals later this year:

  • Mad Cool Festival in Spain
  • Lollapalooza Chicago in the United States
  • Summer Sonic in Japan

For U.S. K-pop fans, all eyes are on Lollapalooza, where Jennie can bring Dracula to a massive American crowd at the exact moment it is peaking on Billboard and saturating radio playlists.
