Jennie and Tame Impala’s “Dracula” Tops Billboard Adult Pop Airplay

A February remix fueled by short‑form video momentum has pushed the track into rare mainstream U.S. radio success.

Overview

  • Billboard data reported July 27–28 show the Jennie remix of Tame Impala’s “Dracula” reached No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart after a 36‑week climb.
  • The song now leads seven Billboard charts in total, including Pop Airplay, Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, and Dance Streaming Songs.
  • The version with Jennie was released in February after the original solo track debuted in October, and its rise was driven largely by viral short‑form video and steady radio adds.
  • This Adult Pop Airplay No. 1 is only the second K-pop–related leader on that radio‑focused chart, following January’s No. 1 by the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack single “Golden.”
  • Industry observers say the crossover highlights how high‑profile remixes and platform momentum can convert streaming popularity into sustained radio play, a development that could encourage more cross‑market collaborations and influence radio programming choices.
