Jennie's 'Dracula' Took a Record 58 Weeks to Reach the Hot 100 Top Three

Tame Impala's "Dracula" with Jennie of BLACKPINK climbed two spots to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, a new peak for the song and a share of the best rank a female K-pop soloist has reached on that chart.

The move landed on the chart dated Nov. 14, which Billboard refreshed Tuesday; Yonhap reported the rise from No. 5.

A 58-week climb to the top three

It is the song's 58th consecutive week on the Hot 100, and the slowest route to the top three in the chart's history. Counting from the original track's first entry, "Dracula" took 58 weeks to get there, breaking the 51-week mark set by Glass Animals' "Heat Waves," allkpop reported.

The peak also ties her bandmate. Rosé reached No. 3 with "APT." with Bruno Mars in February last year, and Jennie now shares the record for the highest Hot 100 placement by a female K-pop soloist, per allkpop. Yonhap noted that among female K-pop acts, only the trio who sang "Golden" from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, which topped the chart, ranks higher.

The climb rode a Halloween surge. "Dracula" drew 9.4 million U.S. streams from Oct. 30 to Nov. 5, up 31 percent week over week, according to Luminate data reported by allkpop. On Halloween day alone it logged 2.8 million official on-demand U.S. streams, nearly 40 percent above its previous single-day best of about 2 million, set April 6 when the Jennie remix went viral on TikTok.

On Radio Songs, "Dracula" held No. 1 for an eighth week, Billboard and allkpop both reported.

The song has had a long second life. Tame Impala first released "Dracula" last year and included it on the band's fifth album, Deadbeat, that October; the remix with Jennie's vocals arrived Feb. 6, and she has been officially credited on the song since the chart dated April 4, allkpop reported.

A post on X made the connection plain. @blinksunitedtwt posted on X that Jennie had "tied #ROSÉ for the highest-charting single by a female K-pop soloist in Billboard Hot 100 history."

Will Jennie land a Grammy nomination?

Yonhap reported that attention now shifts to whether the song's sustained chart run earns her a Grammy Award nomination next week.

Elsewhere on the K-pop chart ledger, Illit debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 with Break Even and Ive entered at No. 126 with Looks Can Kill, while Katseye's Wild sat at No. 65, BTS's Arirang at No. 62, Stray Kids' This & That at No. 139 and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack at No. 31. Katseye's "Animal" slipped five spots to No. 32 in its 15th week on the Hot 100, Yonhap reported.

At the top, Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" held No. 1 for a record-extending 27th week and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" rose to No. 2 on a Halloween spike, Billboard reported.

Nov. 12 marks eight years since Jennie's solo debut with "SOLO," in the same week she matches the best Hot 100 placement by a female K-pop soloist.
