The two musical acts have pushed their version of \u201cDracula\u201d to the highest reaches on a number of Billboard charts, and the single has become Jennie\u2019s biggest hit \u2013 either on her own or with the girl group that made her famous.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, it seems that her newfound and ongoing success with \u201cDracula\u201d does not necessarily transfer over to new music. Jennie\u2019s latest solo single fails to make much of an impact in the United States, even as it performs considerably better around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie Misses the Billboard Hot 100<\/p>\n<p>Jennie\u2019s new single <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_IT83Y_HcAw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_IT83Y_HcAw\" aria-label=\"\u201cLess Than a Lover\u201d\">\u201cLess Than a Lover\u201d<\/a> reaches only one Billboard tally that focuses on listening habits in America. The track completely misses the Billboard Hot 100 \u2013 where \u201cDracula\u201d currently sits at No. 6 \u2013 the main songs ranking that incorporates sales, streams and radio airplay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLess Than a Lover\u201d does appear on the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/bubbling-under-hot-100-singles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/bubbling-under-hot-100-singles\/\" aria-label=\"Bubbling Under Hot 100\">Bubbling Under Hot 100<\/a> chart, a 25-position extension for tracks that have not yet reached the main roster. Jennie\u2019s latest opens at No. 7.<\/p>\n<p>The single did not rack up enough plays on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music to reach the Streaming Songs tally, nor did it sell well enough to appear on the Digital Song Sales chart. Whether \u201cLess Than a Lover\u201d is being promoted to pop radio yet, or if Billboard would classify it as dance or electronic, is unclear, as it does not make a splash on any of the company\u2019s pop, dance or electronic rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie Scores Her Third Bubbling Under Hot 100 Hit<\/p>\n<p>Jennie has now seen three of her solo cuts reach the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, and all three have placed within the top 10 on the 25-space list.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mx92lTYxrJQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mx92lTYxrJQ\" aria-label=\"\u201cOne of the Girls,\u201d\">\u201cOne of the Girls,\u201d<\/a> her collaboration with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, climbed all the way to No. 1 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. The tune eventually graduated to the more competitive Billboard Hot 100, where it soared as high as No. 51. \u201cYou &amp; Me\u201d missed the Billboard Hot 100 by only two spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie Nearly Scores Another Global Top 10<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLess Than a Lover\u201d performs significantly better on Billboard\u2019s worldwide rankings. The track nearly lands inside the top 10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. \u2013 which measures streaming and sales activity from around the world while removing consumption from the United States \u2013 where it debuts at No. 11. <\/p>\n<p>That showing is stronger than its starting point on the Billboard Global 200, which does include American streams and sales. On that entirely worldwide tally, \u201cLess Than a Lover\u201d opens at No. 26.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie Charts Three Hits on the Global Rankings<\/p>\n<p>Jennie claims three hits on both of Billboard\u2019s global rankings this week. <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0UPDBODtxzw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0UPDBODtxzw\" aria-label=\"\u201cDracula\u201d\">\u201cDracula\u201d<\/a> with Tame Impala is still comfortable inside the top 10, while \u201cOne of the Girls\u201d climbs again.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/08\/02\/jennie-misses-out-on-making-k-pop-history-by-one-space\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Jennie Misses Out On Making K-Pop History By One Space\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/08\/02\/jennie-misses-out-on-making-k-pop-history-by-one-space\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForbesJennie Misses Out On Making K-Pop History By One SpaceBy Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite her incredible success with &#8220;Dracula&#8221; alongside Tame Impala, Jennie&#8217;s new solo tune &#8220;Less Than a Lover&#8221; doesn&#8217;t&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":853616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[41736,49,48,75,248240,13433,248239,296868,296871,296869,296872,296870,296873,341],"class_list":["post-853615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-billboard-hot-100","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-jennie-billboard","tag-jennie-blackpink","tag-jennie-charts","tag-jennie-less-than-a-lover","tag-jennie-less-than-a-lover-billboard","tag-jennie-less-than-a-lover-charts","tag-jennie-less-than-a-lover-hot-100","tag-jennie-less-than-a-lover-sales","tag-less-than-a-lover","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=853615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/853616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=853615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=853615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=853615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
