Lead
"Dracula," a collaboration between Jennie of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK and Australian act Tame Impala, has reached a new peak on the Billboard Hot 100, according to charts released in July. The song, originally a solo track by Tame Impala, rose to No. 8 in the week ending July 8, then climbed to No. 5 the following week, as reported by Yonhap News Agency.
Coverage Comparison
Yonhap News Agency, a South Korean wire service, reported on the song's chart performance across three separate articles. The first report, published July 8, noted that "Dracula" rose to No. 8, its highest rank at that time, moving up two notches from the previous week. A second article, dated July 14, stated that the track advanced three spots to No. 5, also describing it as its highest position to date. The third report, from July 22, said the song maintained its peak at No. 5 for a second consecutive week.
The reports agree on the core details: "Dracula" is a collaboration between Jennie and Tame Impala, originally released as a solo track in October, and a remix featuring Jennie was released in February. The song gained renewed traction after the remix, going viral on short-form video platforms and climbing the rankings.
However, the articles differ in some specifics. The July 8 article listed the collaborative single "Iconic By Mistake" by Le Sserafim, Illit and Katseye at No. 49, while the July 22 article placed it at No. 71. The BTS single "Swim" was reported at No. 76 in its 15th week on the chart in the first article, and at No. 100 in its 17th week in the later article. The July 14 article did not include these particular chart entries.
