Jennie Joins Her Blackpink Bandmate Rosé In A Historic Chart Feat

The collaboration between Tame Impala and Blackpink’s Jennie has created a landmark moment on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart. Their remix of "Dracula" has ascended to the top spot, making it the first No. 1 position on this chart for both artists individually. This development is particularly notable as it marks only the third time a track associated with K-pop artists has reached the summit of this highly competitive U.S. radio ranking.

Tame Impala, the project helmed by Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, initially released "Dracula" as the third single from their fifth studio album, Deadbeat, in late 2025. The song gained traction quickly, and its remix featuring Jennie, who has distinguished herself as a solo artist outside her role in Blackpink, propelled the track into broader pop radio success. Months after its debut, "Dracula" moved steadily up the chart, ultimately dethroning previous leaders to claim the No. 1 position.

The significance of this achievement extends beyond the individual success of Tame Impala and Jennie. Historically, K-pop artists have rarely dominated the Pop Airplay chart, which compiles weekly airplay data from U.S. top 40 radio stations. Before "Dracula," only two other K-pop-related songs had reached No. 1 on this list. The first was "Apt.," a collaboration between Jennie’s Blackpink bandmate Rosé and Bruno Mars, which held the top spot for five consecutive weeks starting in early 2025. The second was "Golden," a track associated with the fictional girl group Huntr/x from the Netflix project KPop Demon Hunters, which also featured multiple vocalists.

Jennie’s rise on the Pop Airplay chart has been steady, with "Dracula" marking her highest peak to date. Prior to this, her most successful solo effort had been "One of the Girls," a collaboration with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, which reached No. 18 in April 2024. Meanwhile, Tame Impala had only recently begun to appear on the Pop Airplay chart, debuting in April 2025 with "Neverender," a song made in collaboration with EDM group Justice that peaked at No. 23.

Despite the individual accomplishments of Jennie and Rosé on pop radio, Blackpink as a group has yet to break into the top 10 on the Pop Airplay chart. Their highest-charting song remains "Jump," a single from their 2024 EP Deadline, which peaked at No. 19. This contrast highlights the growing impact of solo efforts by K-pop artists in the U.S. pop market.

"Dracula"’s widespread appeal is reflected in its presence across 17 different Billboard charts, a testament to its genre-blending qualities. Billboard classifies the track under pop, rock, and dance genres, allowing it to chart on various style-specific and broad-format listings. Currently, the song holds the No. 1 spot on seven of these diverse charts.

The collaboration between Jennie and Tame Impala underscores an evolving musical landscape where cross-genre and cross-cultural partnerships are increasingly common and commercially successful. The partnership has brought together distinct fan bases and musical styles, enabling "Dracula" to resonate strongly with a wide audience.

While details about future projects from either artist remain limited, this milestone confirms Jennie's growing influence as a solo artist beyond her group activities and solidifies Tame Impala’s expanding footprint on mainstream U.S. pop radio. Their achievement on the Pop Airplay chart not only sets a new benchmark for K-pop artists but also reflects the fluidity of global music trends as they continue to converge on international platforms.
