According to Billboard’s website on the 28th, “Dracula” rose two spots from the previous week to rank first on the latest weekly Adult Pop Airplay chart. "Dracula" is a song released by Tame Impala, a one-man band, in October of last year. After the remix version featuring Jennie was released in February, it gained attention on short-form platforms and succeeded in climbing the Billboard chart. The song ranked fifth on the main singles chart, the Hot 100. Adult Pop Airplay is a sub-chart that ranks songs based on the number of plays on adult-oriented radio stations in the U.S. On the 27th (local time), the U.S. business magazine Forbes reported on the latest Billboard chart news, noting that “Dracula” became the second song associated with a Korean artist to top the Adult Pop Airplay weekly chart, following “Golden.” “Golden,” which previously topped the chart, is the soundtrack for the Netflix animated series “K-Pop Demon Hunters.” K-pop producers Teddy, IDO, and 24 composed the song, and Korean-American singer EJAE wrote the lyrics and performed the vocals. Forbes stated, “Although K-pop has achieved great commercial success in the U.S., it has remained relatively weak in the radio market. Jennie set another career-first record with this achievement.” Meanwhile, Jennie released her new song “Less than a Lover” on the 24th. Since its release, the song has ranked first on the iTunes Top Song charts in 27 countries worldwide, including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Brazil. OA Entertainment, her agency, stated that this marks the highest number of number-one rankings among K-pop solo songs released this year.
