New york: "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 (U.S. time), extending its stay inside the top 10 to 16 weeks.
According to Yonhap News Agency, with this achievement, "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.
Billboard will publish the official Hot 100 ranking on Tuesday.
