Type “Jennie Dracula lyrics” into a search bar right now and most of what comes back is not about the words to the song at all. It is about a number: 16. As of the chart week reported on September 15, 2026, “Dracula,” the collaboration between Tame Impala and Jennie of BLACKPINK, has spent 16 consecutive weeks inside the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10, the longest such run any K-pop act has ever managed on that chart.
If you came here chasing the actual verses, there is no lyric sheet below — reproducing full song lyrics is not something this guide does. What follows instead is the full story behind how a 2025 Tame Impala track turned into a genre-crossing hit fronted by a BLACKPINK member, how long the record-breaking run has actually lasted, and exactly where the song stands on Billboard’s charts this week.
Tame Impala and Jennie’s “Dracula” has logged 16 consecutive weeks in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10, the longest run ever by a K-pop act, passing the 15-week record BTS set with “Butter” in 2021. The remix, released in February 2026, peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100 and currently sits at No. 6 for a second straight week.
The Story Behind Jennie and Tame Impala’s “Dracula”
“Dracula” started out as a solo Tame Impala track. Kevin Parker released it on September 26, 2025 as the third single from his fifth studio album, Deadbeat, and it performed the way most alternative-leaning singles do — respectably, but without dominating pop radio. On its own, the song peaked at No. 24 on the Hot 100.
Everything changed in February 2026. Parker announced on February 3 that Jennie would appear on a new version of the track, and the remix arrived three days later, on February 6, 2026. The remix paired Tame Impala’s psychedelic production with Jennie’s vocals and gave both artists their first-ever Hot 100 top-10 hit, a milestone neither had reached solo before this song existed.
Why a 16-Week Hot 100 Top 10 Run Is a Historic K-Pop Milestone
Chart longevity is harder to manufacture than a chart debut. A song can enter high on release-week hype and vanish within a month once that initial streaming surge fades, which is exactly what happens to most short-lived viral hits.
“Dracula” has done the opposite. As of the chart week reported on September 15, 2026, the song has held a Hot 100 top-10 position for 16 straight weeks, breaking the previous 15-week record BTS set with “Butter” in 2021, according to reporting from The Korea Herald. No K-pop act, solo or group, had held a Hot 100 top-10 spot that long before this remix came along.
Jennie’s “Dracula” Chart Records at a Glance
The number 16 does not tell the whole story by itself. Here is how the song’s Hot 100 run compares with the previous K-pop record, alongside where it stands on Billboard’s other charts this week.
| Chart Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Hot 100 — consecutive weeks in top 10 | 16 weeks (chart dated September 2026) |
| Hot 100 — current position | No. 6, second consecutive week |
| Hot 100 — peak position | No. 5 |
| Previous K-pop top-10 record | 15 weeks — BTS, “Butter” (2021) |
| Billboard Global 200 — peak | No. 2 |
How “Dracula” Went From Album Cut to Global Streaming Phenomenon
The jump from a No. 24 solo peak to a 16-week top-10 stay did not happen through radio play alone. The Jennie remix caught fire on TikTok and other short-form video platforms soon after its February release, with a recurring visual trend built around the song driving repeat streams long after its debut week had passed.
The remix has since reached No. 1 on three separate Billboard genre charts — Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, and Pop Airplay — a spread that reflects how the track crosses between dance, rock, and mainstream pop radio formats instead of sitting in one lane. On the Billboard Global 200, which tracks streaming and sales across more than 200 territories, the song peaked at No. 2, Tame Impala’s first top-10 entry on that chart and Jennie’s fifth.
The Pop Airplay No. 1 carries its own footnote for BLACKPINK. Jennie became only the second member of the group to top that chart, after Rosé, which makes BLACKPINK the third girl group in Pop Airplay history to have multiple members reach No. 1 as soloists.
What “Dracula” Means for Jennie’s Solo Career
This is Jennie’s first solo release since her debut album, Ruby, which arrived in March 2025 and opened at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. Ruby had already produced Hot 100 entries with “ExtraL,” featuring Doechii, and “Like JENNIE,” but neither reached the top 10 the way the “Dracula” remix has.
“Dracula” gives Jennie her first Hot 100 top-10 hit and her fifth top-10 entry on the Global 200, both firsts that arrived through a feature rather than a solo single of her own. It is a reminder that a well-placed collaboration can outperform an artist’s own album cycle, at least in terms of chart longevity.

Does the song’s lyrics tell an actual vampire story?
The song leans on a general vampire and blood-motif theme rather than telling a linear vampire story, and this guide does not reproduce the lyrics themselves. For the full lyrics, official streaming platforms and licensed lyric services are the right place to look, not a chart recap article.
Has Jennie had other Hot 100 hits before this one?
