JENNIE of BLACKPINK is holding her ground near the top of the Billboard Hot 100. “Dracula,” her collaboration with Australian project Tame Impala, remained at No. 5 on the chart dated July 25, 2026 — a second consecutive week in the position and a tie of the song’s best peak to date. The result arrives just days before JENNIE puts out her next solo single, “Less than a Lover,” on July 24.
“Dracula” ties its peak at No. 5
Per Billboard, “Dracula” repeated at No. 5 for a second straight week, holding steady in the chart’s upper tier. The track has had an unusual path to the top five. It first arrived in October 2025 as a Tame Impala solo song, then found a second life in February 2026 when a remix featuring JENNIE was released. That version caught fire on short-form video platforms, driving the song back up the charts months after its original debut.
The staying power makes “Dracula” one of the more durable K-pop-adjacent entries of the year, and its second week at No. 5 confirms the peak was no fluke.
A launchpad into “Less than a Lover”
JENNIE is carrying that momentum straight into her own release. “Less than a Lover” is due July 24 at 1 p.m. KST. Long a favorite from her festival sets, the summer-leaning single sees JENNIE credited as a co-writer and as director of its music video — an unusually hands-on role that has fueled fan anticipation for the official version.
K-pop across the Hot 100 and Billboard 200
“Dracula” was not the only K-pop presence on this week’s Billboard tallies. On the Hot 100, “Iconic By Mistake” — the joint single from HYBE labelmates LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE — fell 11 spots to No. 71 in its fifth week on the chart, while BTS’ “Swim” logged a 17th week at No. 100.
The Billboard 200 albums chart was busier still. TOMORROW X TOGETHER member YEONJUN debuted at No. 16 with his solo mini-album “NO LABELS: PART 02.” BTS’ “ARIRANG” sat at No. 25, followed by the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack at No. 31, ATEEZ’s “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5” at No. 54, CORTIS’ “GREENGREEN” at No. 132, and KATSEYE’s “Beautiful Chaos” at No. 138.
Why it matters
A second week at No. 5 on the Hot 100 is a rare feat for any artist connected to K-pop, and it hands JENNIE a strong tailwind heading into “Less than a Lover.” With a viral hit still holding near the summit and a new single arriving within days, JENNIE enters late July with as much chart momentum as any soloist in the genre.
