The collaboration between Tame Impala and BLACKPINK’s JENNIE has reached the pinnacle of the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, marking a first for both artists.

Chart-Topping Success

“Dracula,” dated May 2nd, is the first track to top this chart for both Tame Impala and JENNIE. The song’s widespread appeal and the synergy between the Australian psychedelic rock band and the K-pop star have been key to its success.

Viral Momentum and Remix Impact

Initially released as a Tame Impala single, “Dracula” gained renewed popularity with JENNIE’s contribution. This revitalized the track, particularly on platforms like TikTok, driving its ascent up the charts.

Impressive Performance Numbers

During the tracking week of April 17-23, “Dracula” garnered 12 million official streams, 15.2 million in radio airplay audience impressions, and 2,000 sales downloads in the United States, according to Luminate.

Breaking Previous Records

Prior to this achievement, Tame Impala’s highest peak on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart was number two with “Breathe Deeper” in February 2020. This new success represents a breakthrough for the band.

JENNIE's Chart Debut

This collaboration marks JENNIE’s first-ever appearance on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs ranking, demonstrating her growing influence as a solo artist beyond BLACKPINK.

Dethroning the Previous Champion

“Dracula” dethrones sombr’s “Back to Friends,” which previously held the number one position for 25 nonconsecutive weeks on the rock and alternative charts.

Song's Journey to the Top

The original version of “Dracula” was released in September 2025, debuting at number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October. However, the February 2026 remix featuring JENNIE truly ignited the song’s popularity.

The Power of Social Media

The song’s success highlights the evolving dynamics of music consumption and the increasing importance of platforms like TikTok in driving chart performance.
