Jennie of BLACKPINK has reached the top of a Billboard radio chart. It is the second K-pop-related song to take No. 1 on the chart, following the theme song “Golden” from “KPop Demon Hunters.”
U.S. business magazine Forbes reported on the 27th local time that “Dracula,” a collaboration between Jennie and Tame Impala, ranked No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Pop Airplay chart for the week.
The Adult Pop Airplay chart, introduced by Billboard in 1996, ranks songs based on how many times they are played on 40 radio stations in the United States that target adult listeners.
Until now, K-pop songs have made it onto major Billboard charts such as the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200, but they have struggled to achieve major success on U.S. radio rankings. While fandom power can drive sales and streaming numbers, radio airplay depends on broad public popularity.
“Dracula,” featuring Jennie, became the second K-pop-related song to reach No. 1 on the chart, following “Golden,” which topped the chart in January this year.
“Dracula” was first released in October last year as a solo track by Australian singer Tame Impala. In February this year, a remix version featuring Jennie gained traction on short-form video platforms and made a comeback on the charts.
