Jennie scores first solo Hot 100 top 10

Billboard’s Hot 100 dated May 16 showed “Dracula” by Tame Impala and Jennie at No. 10, giving Jennie her first solo top-10 hit on the U.S. singles chart. Billboard said the song entered the top tier as Ella Langley kept “Choosin’ Texas” at No. 1 for a ninth week. IBTimes and other outlets reported the move this week, citing Billboard’s latest chart update and tracking data. The result adds a new U.S. chart milestone for Jennie outside her work with Blackpink. ### How high did “Dracula” climb this week? Billboard reported on May 11 that “Dracula” rose from No. 18 to No. 10 on the Hot 100. Korea JoongAng Daily, citing Yonhap, also reported the same chart move and said the song had broken into the top 10 of the all-genre U.S. chart. The Hot 100 combines U.S. streaming, radio airplay and sales, according to Billboard’s chart methodology. (billboard.com) The No. 10 placement is the key figure because it marks Jennie’s first solo appearance in the Hot 100’s top 10. Forbes reported on May 15 that the result made Jennie only the third K-pop solo female artist to reach that region of the chart. That comparison was attributed by Forbes to Billboard chart history. (billboard.com) ### Was this Jennie song or a collaboration? “Dracula” is billed as a collaboration between Tame Impala and Jennie, and Billboard’s coverage described it as Tame Impala & JENNIE’s song. Billboard reported in February that the release was a remix tied to Tame Impala’s “Dracula,” with Jennie joining the track as her first solo release since her album “Ruby.” ABC Audio, in a report carried by Yahoo, also described the song as a collaborative track. (forbes.com) Tame Impala’s involvement matters to the chart record as well. ABC Audio reported that the No. 10 peak was also the first top-10 Hot 100 hit for Tame Impala. Billboard had previously noted that the original “Dracula” had already become a Hot 100 entry before the Jennie version arrived. ### How does this fit into Jennie’s chart history? (billboard.com) Korea JoongAng Daily reported that Jennie became the second Blackpink member to score a solo Hot 100 top 10, after Rosé reached No. 3 with “APT.” alongside Bruno Mars in 2024. The same report said Blackpink became the fifth group to have two female members earn solo top-10 Hot 100 hits, joining Destiny’s Child, Fifth Harmony, Fleetwood Mac and the Go-Go’s. That comparison was attributed to Yonhap’s reading of Billboard chart records. (yahoo.com) Billboard’s artist page for Jennie lists her chart history and recent coverage, including the “Dracula” run and other solo-era updates. Billboard also reported in March that Jennie had debuted “Dracula” live at her first solo China show, giving the song a performance platform before this week’s top-10 move. ### What do the available reports say drove the jump? (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) IBTimes said Billboard tracking data released on May 11 showed the remix drawing more than 12 million streams during the week. IBTimes cited streaming momentum as a factor behind the rise, though Billboard’s publicly visible chart summary in search results did not list a full metric breakdown. Because Billboard’s full Chart Beat story was not fully accessible in the available materials, the precise split among streaming, airplay and sales could not be independently confirmed from Billboard’s own article here. (billboard.com) Billboard did separately report two weeks earlier that “Dracula” had reached No. 1 on its Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart dated May 2. That result showed the track was already gaining traction in a genre-specific ranking before crossing into the Hot 100 top 10. ### What comes next for the song and the chart? (ibtimes.sg) The Hot 100 chart page now lists the week of May 16, 2026, and Billboard typically updates the ranking on a weekly cycle. Yahoo’s repost of the ABC Audio report said Tame Impala is scheduled to begin a U.S. tour in July, with Djo and Dominic Fike opening on selected dates. Jennie’s next chart position for “Dracula” will depend on the next week of U.S. streaming, sales and radio data compiled by Billboard. (billboard.com 1) (billboard.com 2)
