Jennie and Tame Impala's Dracula Keeps Breaking Records

Nineteen weeks. That is how long Jennie's "Dracula" — her collaboration with Australian psych-rock project Tame Impala — has now spent inside the top ten of the Hot 100, according to chart trackers. The song's latest placement extends the longest top-ten streak ever logged by a K-pop artist, a benchmark the singer keeps pushing higher almost every week.

As reported by KTRENZ on October 7, "Dracula" sits at No. 10 on the newest edition of Billboard's main singles chart, which ranks the most popular songs in the United States across streaming, radio airplay and sales data compiled by Luminate. The run leaves the old records behind: BTS managed 15 weeks in the top ten with "Butter," while Rosé and Bruno Mars held 14 with "APT.," their duet. Jennie passed both marks in September and has kept the streak alive ever since, according to the Korea JoongAng Daily's coverage of the chart run.

What makes the feat unusual is how long it took to build. The track did not arrive as a splashy debut that cratered in week two. It climbed slowly, caught fire on short-form video, and turned into one of those rare songs that radio, streaming and social media all agree on at once. For Gen Z listeners who found it through TikTok edits before they ever heard it on the radio, the chart run is a reminder that a song can still win the old-fashioned way: by simply refusing to leave.

From Album Cut to Crossover Smash

The story of "Dracula" starts well before the record books. Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker first released the song as a solo track in October of 2025, and a version featuring Jennie followed in February of 2026. The remix went viral on short-form video platforms and began climbing the rankings, with Jennie officially credited as a collaborator that spring, according to the outlets tracking the song's chart history.

By the summer, "Dracula" had become a fixture of both artists' live sets, and the two finally performed it together for the first time at a Tame Impala show at Boston's TD Garden. Jennie marked the moment on Instagram afterward, writing: "Thank you for having me @tameimpala in Boston. Such a special moment performing 'Dracula' together." The onstage chemistry between the BLACKPINK singer and Parker turned a streaming hit into a genuine event, the kind of crossover moment that fans of both camps talk about for months.

Radio, Streaming and Perfect Halloween Timing

The numbers behind the streak show a song firing on every format. "Dracula" topped Billboard's all-format Radio Songs chart on the chart dated September 26, drawing tens of millions of radio listeners in a single tracking week, according to chart reporting compiled by KTRENZ from Korean press coverage. On streaming, the song was already one of the year's biggest global performers: Luminate's mid-year music report counted nearly one billion global on-demand audio streams, and the remix's viral moment on TikTok generated well over a million videos using the sound, according to Rolling Stone's coverage of the collaboration.

The calendar is doing the song favors, too. A moody, gothic-leaning single called "Dracula" arriving at peak spooky season is the kind of gift playlist editors dream about, and Halloween-themed parties, costume videos and autumn mood boards keep pushing it back into feeds. Few songs get a seasonal tailwind this perfectly timed, and "Dracula" is riding it straight through October.

What Comes Next for the Record

Jennie is hardly coasting on one collaboration. She released her digital EP "Fallen Angel" in late August of 2026, headlined a string of summer festivals including Governors Ball, and earlier became the first female K-pop soloist to place three songs on the singles chart at the same time. The "Dracula" run sits on top of an already stacked year, and it has made her the standard-bearer for K-pop longevity on American charts — a title previously held by the biggest group acts in the genre.

There is a catch, and it is the same one every long chart run faces: staying power gets harder, not easier, as the fall release calendar fills up. New albums from major pop acts flood streaming playlists in October and November, and songs that live on radio momentum can fade fast when programmers move on. Still, "Dracula" has survived every one of those waves so far by being everywhere at once — on the radio, on TikTok, and on Halloween playlists that are only getting bigger this month. If you are wondering whether the streak hits twenty weeks, the smart money is on the vampire staying in the building.
