Tate McRae, Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan all land new top-10 entries, and Billboard's running K-pop No. 1 album count stands at 26.

JENNIE's "Dracula," a team-up with Tame Impala, slips to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated Oct. 31, down from No. 5 a week earlier, with 56 weeks on the chart, according to Billboard Canada's Hot 100 page. JENNIE is the only K-pop act in the top 10, and No. 5 remains the song's peak.
The chart above it reshuffled. Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" moved from No. 2 to No. 1 and grabbed a 25th week at the top, Billboard's Hot 100 Top 10 Countdown said, and the chart page counts 53 weeks in all for the song.
Three new entries filled the top 10 around it: Tate McRae's "Housewife" debuted at No. 2, Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan's "Expectations" landed at No. 3, and Zach Bryan's "Lies," with Lana Del Rey, debuted at No. 4, per Billboard Canada's Hot 100 page. Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" sits at No. 5.
Below Swift, the rest of the top 10 ran outside K-pop: Stella Lefty's "Boston" at No. 6, Morgan Wallen's "Been By Now" at No. 7, "Dracula" at No. 8, ADELA's "Nicole Kidman" at No. 9 and Olivia Rodrigo's "Stupid Song" at No. 10.
One K-pop song made the top 10:
Billboard's running list counts 26 albums and EPs by K-pop acts that have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in just over eight years, the 26th being ENHYPEN's THE SIN: BLISS. Stray Kids lead all acts with nine No. 1s, BTS sit second with seven, and ATEEZ are next with three.
SuperM, BLACKPINK, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, NewJeans, TWICE and ENHYPEN have one No. 1 apiece, and the multi-artist KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack also reached the top. Four K-pop No. 1 albums have arrived in 2026 so far, against a peak year of five in 2023.
On the album side, BTS' ARIRANG spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and set several new sales records, per Billboard's mid-2026 K-pop albums list. Billboard's songs list credits "SWIM," the ARIRANG title track, as BTS' seventh Billboard Hot 100 No. 1.
