Whether she realized the history that she was going to make with the tune is unknown, as even Kevin Parker \u2013 otherwise known as Tame Impala \u2013 might not have realized just how big the track would become. <\/p>\n<p>At the moment, \u201cDracula,\u201d which now credits both Tame Impala and Jennie after weeks of only naming the first artist, appears on nearly 20 different Billboard tallies. The song rises to a new peak on many of those rankings, and it nearly earns Jennie her first No. 1 on three rundowns, but misses out on doing so by just one space.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie and Tame Impala\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d Flies to No. 2<\/p>\n<p><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> flies to No. 2, up one space from No. 3, on a trio of Billboard charts.

BTS broke barriers nearly half a decade ago when the septet joined Coldplay on \u201cMy Universe.\u201d While the cut is essentially a pop song, Coldplay\u2019s history in rock and alternative music helped the tune become a No. 1 smash on those two genre-specific rosters and made BTS the only name in K-pop to rule.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie Previously Peaked at No. 3 with \u201cMantra\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As \u201cDracula\u201d ascends a single slot on the Billboard Global 200, Jennie reaches a new career high as a soloist. Previously, she topped out at No. 3 with her own \u201cMantra,\u201d which opened in that position in October 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie and Tame Impala\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d Blocked from No. 1<\/p>\n<p>Jennie is blocked from the summit on the three rankings where \u201cDracula\u201d improves to No. 2 by different singles. On the Billboard Global 200, \u201cSwim\u201d by BTS is steady in first place, with one beloved K-pop musical act keeping another from the top spot. On both the Hot Rock &amp; Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs tallies, <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=c8zq4kAn_O0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=c8zq4kAn_O0\" aria-label=\"\u201cBack to Friends\u201d by Sombr\">\u201cBack to Friends\u201d by Sombr<\/a>, which has now spent more than a year on the style-focused lists, is comfortable once again at No. 1.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie and Tame Impala Holds in Second Place<\/p>\n<p>As \u201cDracula\u201d hits No. 2 for the first time on three Billboard charts, the single either holds in that spot or returns to that position on another five tallies. \u201cDracula\u201d finds its way back to No. 2 on the Hot Rock Songs and Alternative Streaming Songs rundowns. The collaboration is a non-mover in second place on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. \u2013 which works in nearly the same manner as the Billboard Global 200, except sales and streams from American consumers are completely excluded \u2013 as well as the Rock Streaming Songs and Dance Streaming Songs charts.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie and Tame Impala\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d Rules Three Rankings<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDracula\u201d remains the No. 1 hit on another three tallies published by Billboard, where it\u2019s comfortable yet again in first place. Jennie and Tame Impala lead the Rock Digital Song Sales, Alternative Digital Song Sales, and Hot Dance\/Electronic Songs rankings. Lady Gaga and Doechii\u2019s \u201cRunway\u201d replaces \u201cDracula\u201d atop the Dance Digital Song Sales chart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDracula\u201d Reaches New Highs on Several Billboard Charts<\/p>\n<p>Amidst all of the aforementioned excitement, \u201cDracula\u201d also manages to establish new, lofty placements on several other rundowns. The duet pushes to never-before-seen highs on the Digital Song Sales (No. 7), Streaming Songs (No. 8), Billboard Hot 100 (No. 15), Pop Airplay (No. 23), and Radio Songs charts (No. 44) all at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/04\/19\/jennie-joins-jung-kook-and-his-band-with-a-special-chart-hit\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Jennie Joins Jung Kook And His Band With A Special Chart Hit\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/04\/19\/jennie-joins-jung-kook-and-his-band-with-a-special-chart-hit\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForbesJennie Joins Jung Kook And His Band With A Special Chart HitBy Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blackpink star Jennie nearly scores the second No. 1 for K-pop artists on two of Billboard&#8217;s rock and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401341,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[207054,156,207055,207058,207061,207062,207056,207060,207059,207063,207057,157,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-401340","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-billboard-global-200","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-jennie-billboard-charts","11":"tag-jennie-billboard-global-200","12":"tag-jennie-billboard-hot-100","13":"tag-jennie-digital-song-sales-chart","14":"tag-jennie-dracula-charts","15":"tag-jennie-hot-alternative-songs-chart","16":"tag-jennie-hot-rock-alternative-songs-chart","17":"tag-jennie-streaming-songs-chart","18":"tag-jennie-tame-impala-dracula-charts","19":"tag-music","20":"tag-new-zealand","21":"tag-newzealand","22":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
