An unexpected genre-bending collaboration just hit a career milestone for both artists involved. BLACKPINK’s Jennie and psychedelic rock act Tame Impala have landed their first-ever No. 1 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart with their joint track “Dracula” — a first for both of them.

## The Chart Milestone

Billboard confirmed on September 22 (local time) that the “Dracula” remix reached a new peak of **No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart**, which tracks weekly airplay across US radio stations spanning all genres. The song pulled in a massive **62.6 million** airplay audience in the US between September 11 and 17 — a number that reflects genuinely widespread crossover reach, not just a niche K-pop or indie-rock audience.

This marks the first time either Jennie or Tame Impala has topped this particular chart in their respective careers.

## Not Just Radio — Dracula Is Dominating Multiple Charts

Beyond its Radio Songs win, “Dracula” is putting on a serious showing across Billboard’s broader charts:

| Chart | Position |
| --- | --- |
| Radio Songs | No. 1 (new peak) |
| Hot 100 | No. 5 (matches previous peak) |
| Hot Dance/Electronic Songs | No. 1 |
| Hot Rock & Alternative Songs | No. 1 |
| Adult Pop Airplay | No. 1 |

The song’s return to No. 5 on the **Hot 100** is notable in its own right — it marks both artists’ first-ever top 10 hit on that chart as well, meaning “Dracula” has now delivered multiple career firsts simultaneously.

## Why This Collaboration Works?

The pairing of Jennie — one of [BLACKPINK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpink)‘s core members and a established solo force in her own right — with Tame Impala, known for genre-blending psychedelic and electronic rock, represents exactly the kind of unexpected crossover that tends to resonate widely on radio. It bridges K-pop’s global fanbase with alternative and dance-radio audiences that don’t always overlap.

This week’s full Billboard charts are set to publish on September 23 local time, which should confirm whether “Dracula” holds its multi-chart dominance into another week.
