'Dracula' featuring Jennie longest-charting song by K-pop artist in Hot 100's top 10

"Dracula," a collaboration single between Australian act Tame Impala and Blackpink's Jennie, has set a new record on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 by logging the longest top-10 run for a song involving a Korean pop artist.

The track held at No. 6 for a second straight week, Billboard's chart preview said Monday, extending its stay inside the top 10 to 16 weeks.

With this, "Dracula" surpassed the previous 15-week record set by K-pop supergroup BTS with its smash-hit "Butter," becoming the longest-running top-10 song by or featuring a K-pop act.

Originally released as a solo track by Tame Impala in October last year, "Dracula" gained renewed traction after a remix featuring Jennie was released in February, going viral on short-form video platforms and climbing up the rankings. The song peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100.

HYBE girl group Katseye also landed two songs on the chart. "Animal" rose three spots from the previous week to No. 27, marking its seventh consecutive week on the chart, while "Hootie Frutti" remained at No. 67 and entered the chart for the fourth consecutive week.

On the Billboard 200 albums chart of the week of Sept. 19, boy band Stray Kids’ latest album "This & That" sat at No. 15 — the highest ranking among K-pop artists.

BTS' fifth full-length album "Arirang" landed at No. 29, while the original soundtrack of Netflix's animation "KPop Demon Hunters" (2025) sat at No. 37. Boy band Enhypen's EP "The Sin: Bliss" ranked at No. 41. 

Boy band Monsta X's EP "The Phase," released on Sept. 4, debuted at No. 118. BigHit Music's rookie Cortis' EP "GreenGreen" ranked at No. 188. 

Katseye also placed three albums on the Billboard 200, with "Wild" sitting at No. 16, "Beautiful Chaos" (2025) at No. 150 and "SIS (Soft Is Strong)" (2024) at No. 187.
