The collaboration gained one spot to match its best showing, as Katseye climbed and Stray Kids led K-pop albums on the Billboard 200.

Jennie is back in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. "Dracula," the BLACKPINK member's collaboration with Australian act Tame Impala, rose one place to No. 5 on Billboard's chart released Tuesday, U.S. time, Yonhap reported. That matches the highest position the single has reached so far.
Katseye also moved up the singles chart. The group's "Animal" jumped four spots to No. 28, and Katseye put two more titles on the albums side of the ledger.
On the Billboard 200, Stray Kids' This & That was the top K-pop album of the week at No. 35. The soundtrack to Netflix's animated hit KPop Demon Hunters landed at No. 37, with Katseye's Wild right behind it at No. 38.
BTS' Arirang, the group's fifth full-length album, sat at No. 41, its 30th straight week on the chart. Enhypen's The Sin: Bliss held steady at No. 122, and Katseye's Beautiful Chaos placed at No. 176.
Jennie's bandmate Lisa is having her own good run. "Sawadika," released in September ahead of her new six-track EP Press Play, entered the Hot 100 at No. 69, a new high for Lisa, the Korea JoongAng Daily reported. The EP, led by "Tarantino," is her first release in one year and eight months.
Illit has a streaming milestone of its own. "Magnetic," a former Hot 100 entry, crossed 900 million Spotify streams on Sunday, about two years and seven months after its March 2024 release, agency Belift Lab said on Tuesday.
The agency described the pace as a first for a K-pop group's debut single: "This is the shortest time taken among the debut songs of K-pop groups that have reached the same number of streams on Spotify."
