What happens when a BLACKPINK superstar and an Australian psych-rock icon join forces? Pure chart magic. Jennie and Tame Impala’s remix of **“Dracula”** has officially bitten its way into the **Billboard Hot 100 Top 10**, and the numbers are nothing short of historic.

## The Story Behind “Dracula”

Originally released in September 2025 as part of Tame Impala’s fifth studio album *Deadbeat*, [“Dracula”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_(song)) is a disco and electropop track about finding solace in darkness — and it became the Australian project’s first-ever Billboard Hot 100 entry. The collaboration with Jennie was one of music’s worst-kept secrets: Kevin Parker was spotted wearing official Jennie merchandise at the 2026 Grammys (where he also won Best Dance/Electronic Recording), and eagle-eyed fans noticed the song’s YouTube description quietly swapping Parker’s name for Jennie’s in a key lyric. The remix dropped on February 6, 2026, and the internet collectively lost its mind.

The TikTok trend that followed was massive — **over 545,000 videos** using the track, with celebrities like Bryan Cranston, Laufey, Meghan Trainor, Charli D’Amelio, and even Jennie herself jumping in.

## Why This Milestone Matters

With “Dracula” hitting No. 10, Jennie becomes only the **second BLACKPINK member** to crack the Hot 100 top 10 as a soloist — joining Rosé, who reached No. 3 with “APT.” featuring Bruno Mars. Even more remarkably, **BLACKPINK is now the fifth all-female group in history** to have two solo members break the top 10, following Destiny’s Child, Fifth Harmony, The Go-Go’s, and The Runaways.

For Tame Impala, it’s their first-ever top 10 on the Hot 100 — a long-overdue recognition for one of the most acclaimed acts of the last decade.

## A Collab That Actually Made Cultural Sense

The pairing wasn’t just a commercial stunt. Jennie was born in South Korea and raised in New Zealand — practically neighbours with Parker’s home turf of Western Australia. Her debut album *Ruby* (2025) already showed her appetite for genre-blurring collaborations, featuring Dua Lipa, Childish Gambino, Doechii, and Dominic Fike. She even debuted “Dracula” live at ComplexCon Hong Kong in March 2026, serving gothic-fantasy fashion in a long black coat to match.
