Jennie's 'Dracula' reaches No. 3 on Billboard Hot 100 after 58-week run, tying Rosé for the highest ranking by a K-pop female artist

[Financial News]  BLACKPINK's Jennie reached No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with 'Dracula,' matching the position of Rosé's 'APT.' Jennie surpassed her previous career high of No. 5 with the song, a collaboration with Australian musician Tame Impala.
On the chart released by Billboard on the 10th (local time), 'Dracula' rose two spots from No. 5 the previous week. Its total time on the chart extended to 58 weeks. Excluding the No. 1 run of 'Golden,' from the animated film KPop Demon Hunters, it is the highest ranking achieved by a female K-pop artist.
A remix featuring Jennie helped sustain the long-running success of 'Dracula.' The song, released by Tame Impala last year, regained attention through short-form platforms after a remix version came out in February this year and climbed the charts again. There is also interest in whether Jennie will be among the nominees for the 2027 Grammy Awards with this song, when the nominations are announced on the 16th (local time).

Jennie has also expanded her work into animated film soundtracks. At 2 p.m. on the 6th, she released 'Someone to Hold,' a track from Netflix's animated film 'Steps,' on streaming platforms. This is her first time contributing to an animated film soundtrack.
'Steps' is an action comedy that reimagines a familiar fairy tale, centering on Cinderella's stepsister Lilith. Sung by Jennie, 'Someone to Hold' captures the sisters' close bond. The ballad, inspired by vintage and organic dance-pop, accompanies a scene in which the film's emotions reach a climax.
Jennie shared her thoughts through Netflix, saying, "I really loved the characters' warm hearts and individuality, and I was happy to be able to be part of their world, even in a small way." 'Steps' will be released on Netflix on the 20th.
