Jennie's 'Dracula' tops Billboard Radio Chart, second K-pop song to hit No. 1 in genre

Blackpink's Jennie has achieved a significant milestone, topping the Billboard Radio Chart with her song 'Dracula.' This marks the second time a K-pop song has reached number one on the 'Adult Pop Airplay' chart, a key indicator of mainstream popularity in the United States.

The collaboration with Australian musician Tame Impala, 'Dracula,' secured the top spot on the chart, which ranks songs based on airplay across 40 adult-oriented radio stations nationwide. Unlike music sales or streaming, radio charts require broad public appeal, making them a challenging benchmark to reach.

This achievement follows the success of 'Golden,' the theme song for the Netflix animated film 'K-pop: Demon Hunters,' which hit number one in January. 'Dracula' was initially released as a solo track by Tame Impala in October, but a remix featuring Jennie gained traction on short-form video platforms, leading to its resurgence and chart success.

The song is currently dominating seven Billboard charts, including Pop Airplay, Hot Rock, Hot Alternative, and Hot Dance/Electronic Songs. Jennie's success on the radio chart highlights a growing presence for K-pop in areas where it has historically had less traction.
