Jennie just keeps extending her own Billboard record. According to Newsis, reporting via AP from New York, Jennie’s collaboration with Australian psychedelic rock band Tame Impala, “Dracula,” climbed one spot to No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for the chart dated October 24, announced on October 20 local time.
The climb ties “Dracula’s” previous peak of No. 5 and marks the song’s 21st consecutive week inside the Hot 100 top 10. Jennie is once again rewriting the record she already held for the longest top-10 run by a K-pop artist on the chart.
HYBE’s global girl group KATSEYE also shone this week: their single “Animal” jumped four spots to No. 28, a new Hot 100 peak. On the Billboard 200, KATSEYE placed two albums at once, with mini album “WILD” rising to No. 38 and “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS” re-entering at No. 176.
The K-pop long-run race on the Billboard 200 continued. Netflix animated film “KPop Demon Hunters” held at No. 37 for its 69th straight week on the album chart, and the soundtrack set an all-time record with its 65th total week at No. 1 on Billboard’s soundtrack chart. BTS’s “ARIRANG” rose two spots to No. 41 in its 30th week, Stray Kids’ “THIS AND THAT” held No. 35 in its 10th week, and ENHYPEN’s “THE SIN : BLISS” stayed at No. 122 in its eighth week.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift continued her dominant run: “Patient Zero” kept No. 1 on the Hot 100 for a third straight week, while “The Life of a Showgirl” topped the Billboard 200 for its 15th total week.
No official statement was available. With “Dracula” still climbing, Jennie’s record week count may not stop at 21.
