Jennie’s ‘Dracula’ Just Topped Pop Radio and Landed Her First Hot 100 Top 10
the tame impala duet hit No. 1 on billboard's pop airplay chart dated july 11 — a career first for BOTH of them. it also peaked at No. 10 on the hot 100. mother does not miss.
a moody psych-pop song about a vampire is now the No. 1 record on american pop radio. 'Dracula' tops billboard's pop airplay chart dated july 11, and it's the first time either tame impala OR jennie has led that format. not a small chart. not a k-pop-adjacent asterisk. pop radio, front door, no side entrance.
the trajectory here is unhinged. tame impala put out the solo version last october, the duet with jennie arrived in early february, and it has spent the months since quietly eating: a No. 10 peak on the hot 100 dated july 4 — a first top 10 for both artists — plus a 25th week at No. 1 on hot dance/electronic songs and a seventh on hot rock & alternative songs. it is charting in genres that don't normally speak to each other.
and here's the stat that's going to do numbers in the group chat: jennie is the SECOND blackpink member to hit No. 1 on pop airplay as a soloist, after rosé's 'APT.' with bruno mars spent five weeks up there in 2025. that puts blackpink in a club with destiny's child, fifth harmony and one direction — groups where multiple members have each ruled that chart alone.
the crossover is rarer than it looks, too. 'Dracula,' out on columbia, is only the second pop airplay No. 1 this year that had previously topped alternative airplay. across the chart's whole history since 1992, roughly 7% have pulled off both. this song is not supposed to work in two formats. it did anyway.
the soloist era stopped being a side quest a while ago, bestie. this is a takeover with a chart position attached.

not stray kids casually moving 3 MILLION albums in ONE week like it's a tuesday errand
'this & that' is only the SECOND record of all 2026 to hit 3 mil first-week — these men do not miss and i am exhausted (affectionate)
no bc how are stray kids just casually shifting THREE MILLION albums in a single week like it's nothing. 'this & that' hasn't even been out two weeks and stays are already rewriting the record books. i need a lie down.
per hanteo, the mini blew past 3 million copies in its first week — making it only the SECOND album of ALL of 2026 to pull that off. the other one? bts's 'arirang.' so the entire 3-mil-first-week club this year is stray kids and bts. no notes. just staring.
and it's not even new for them?? this is the FOURTH skz album to bulldoze the 3 million mark in week one, joining '5-STAR,' 'ROCK-STAR' and 'KARMA.' the way they simply keep doing this. serving consistency like it's a subscription service.
'this & that' only dropped august 7, which makes the numbers even more unhinged — barely five days on shelves and already in the history books. mother is mothering, the boys are boying, we are so back.
anyway stays go touch grass (i can't either).
