Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” is once again projected to challenge for No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, according to new estimates from Nora Music. If the collaboration reaches that position, JENNIE would move ahead of ROSÉ to become the highest-peaking female K-pop soloist in the chart’s history.
The latest projections put the track in contention for a new career high after it climbed to No. 3 on this week’s Hot 100. That result had already brought JENNIE level with her BLACKPINK bandmate, whose Bruno Mars collaboration “APT.” also peaked at No. 3 in early 2025, spending two weeks at that position.

The distinction carries particular weight because female K-pop soloists have rarely reached the upper tier of the US singles chart. Although “Dracula” and “APT.” are both collaborations, their chart performances count toward the respective artists’ individual solo histories.
The BLACKPINK members have each made their mark on the Hot 100, although neither LISA nor JISOO has matched the current peak shared by JENNIE and ROSÉ. BLACKPINK’s “Ice Cream,” featuring Selena Gomez, reached No. 13 in 2020. LISA’s “Born Again,” with Doja Cat and RAYE, peaked at No. 68 in 2025, while JISOO’s “Eyes Closed,” featuring Zayn, reached No. 72 that same year. Without major Western collaborators, ROSÉ’s “On the Ground” and LISA’s “Rockstar” both peaked at No. 70.
Their achievements are part of a broader history of K-pop success on the Billboard Hot 100. BTS has collected multiple No. 1 hits, including “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “Permission to Dance,” “Life Goes On,” “My Universe” with Coldplay and “Swim” in 2026. Jung Kook also reached the summit with “Seven,” featuring Latto, in 2023, while Jimin topped the chart with “Like Crazy” that same year.
