Tame Impala and Jennie’s “Dracula” has finally broken past its ceiling. According to Billboard, the collaboration climbs two spots to a new No. 3 high on the Billboard Hot 100 dated November 14, announced on November 9, surpassing the No. 5 peak it had matched twice before.
The jump was powered by Halloween. In the tracking week that included the holiday, “Dracula” drew 9.4 million U.S. streams, up 31 percent, and sold 2,000 copies, up 8 percent, Billboard reported. The surge caps a remarkable late run for a song that first appeared on the chart more than a year ago.
The climb also sets a longevity record. “Dracula” reaches the Hot 100’s top three in its 58th week on the chart, the longest climb to the top three by total weeks on the chart, passing Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves,” which took 51 weeks in 2021-22. It is a slow-burn success story in an era when most hits peak within weeks of release.
The new peak puts Jennie on level ground with her BLACKPINK bandmate Rosé. With “Dracula” at No. 3, Jennie ties Rosé as the highest-charting K-pop female artist on the Hot 100; Rosé’s “APT.” with Bruno Mars reached No. 3 in February 2025. For Jennie, it is her highest Hot 100 position ever, solo or with BLACKPINK.
Radio remains the song’s backbone. “Dracula” holds at No. 1 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart for an eighth consecutive week, with 62.6 million audience impressions, down 1 percent. It also leads Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for a 44th consecutive week and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs for a 25th consecutive week, underscoring how the track has lived across formats rather than in a single lane.
The Halloween effect was visible well before the chart was announced. According to music data company Luminate, cited by Rolling Stone, the original version and the remix together collected 16 million global on-demand streams from October 30 to November 1, a 44 percent jump from the 11 million streams of the prior weekend. Early chart predictions at the time suggested the surge could carry the song to a new No. 3 peak, one slot above Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” That forecast has now come true, with one twist: “Thriller” itself jumped from No. 20 to a new No. 2 high on the same chart, so “Dracula” still sits one place behind the Halloween standard-bearer. Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” holds No. 1 for a 27th week.
The scale of the run is hard to overstate. Since the Jennie remix was released in February, it has amassed nearly 1 billion on-demand global streams, according to Luminate. The original Tame Impala version appeared on the Australian project’s album Deadbeat in October 2025, and the February remix, born from a chance encounter between Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and Jennie, turned it into a viral hit on short-form video platforms before radio picked it up.
“Dracula” first reached No. 5 on the chart released July 14, giving both Tame Impala and Jennie their first Hot 100 top 10 hit. It held that peak for a second straight week in July, then spent months hovering in the top 10, slipping as low as No. 10 before climbing back. On the chart dated November 7, it returned to No. 5, tying its peak, and had spent 23 weeks inside the top 10, already the longest top-10 run by a K-pop solo artist. Along the way it topped both Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay in the United States.
Fans on r/kpop greeted the new peak with celebration, with one commenter calling it “Jennie’s newest peak on the Billboard Hot 100!!” The reaction reflects how unusual this chart story has become: a year-old collaboration that keeps finding new audiences instead of fading.
Whether “Dracula” can climb higher is the next question. It now sits behind only “Choosin’ Texas” and “Thriller,” and its radio dominance and Halloween momentum suggest the run is not finished yet. The full charts dated November 14 update on Billboard.com on November 10.
