"Dracula' ranked 6th on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated the 19th."
BLACKPINK member Jennie has set a new record for the longest top 10 stay by a K-pop artist on the U.S. Billboard's main singles chart, the Hot 100. According to a Billboard preview article on the 14th (local time), Jennie and Tame Impala's collaboration track "Dracula" held the No. 6 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated the 19th. By remaining in the top 10 for a total of 16 weeks, it surpassed the 15-week record previously held by BTS's 2021 release, "Butter." This marks the longest time any K-pop group or solo artist has stayed within the top 10 of the Hot 100 chart, with the song's peak position being No. 5.

Comparison with BTS's Chart History
The history of K-pop artists topping the Hot 100 was first written by BTS. In 2020, BTS became the first Korean act to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100 with "Dynamite." Subsequently, "Butter" held the top spot for 10 weeks, setting the record for the longest No. 1 run among BTS's songs. While Jennie has surpassed BTS in terms of top 10 longevity, she has not yet reached their No. 1 peak in the overall rankings.
Background and Genre Chart Success of "Dracula"
"Dracula" is a track from Deadbeat, an album released last September by Tame Impala, the psychedelic pop project of Australian singer-songwriter Kevin Parker. The song has been gaining popularity since a remix featuring Jennie was released this past February. The track is also enjoying a long reign on genre-specific charts, holding the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for 36 weeks and the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for 18 weeks.
This Week's Hot 100 No. 1 Track
Meanwhile, the No. 1 spot on this week's Hot 100 was claimed by American country singer Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas." The song has maintained the No. 1 position for 22 weeks, tying the all-time record for the longest No. 1 run with Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
