Back at the Peak: What JENNIE and Tame Impala's 'Dracula' Return to Hot 100 No. 5 Measures

Most Hot 100 peaks are a first climb. Tame Impala and JENNIE's "Dracula" just did something quieter: it came back. On the Billboard Hot 100 dated November 7, the collaboration rose from No. 8 to No. 5, tying the song's highest position to date, Yonhap reported, citing Billboard. Billboard's own chart page for that week lists the same peak, a last-week place of 8, and a 57th week on the chart.

A return to a peak already earned is not the same story as a debut spike. It is a longevity story, and that is what this reading is about.

What a return-to-peak measures

Billboard's Hot 100 page for the week of November 7 records the run in plain numbers: debut at No. 55 on the chart dated October 11, 2025; peak of No. 5 first reached on the chart dated July 18, 2026; imprint Columbia; writers K.R. Parker, S. Aarons, JENNIE, C. Gibert; producer K.R. Parker.

The original "Dracula" arrived as a Tame Impala single on September 26, 2025, from the album Deadbeat, per Wikipedia. The official remix with JENNIE followed on February 6, 2026. The November rebound is therefore not a first-week surge after a feature drop. It is a song already deep into its American chart life finding its ceiling again.

That distinction matters for how we read the week. A debut peak answers how loud the opening was. A return-to-peak, fifty-seven weeks in, answers whether the song still has the combination of streams, sales and airplay to reclaim a height it has already proved it can hold.

The Halloween streaming bump

The calendar helps explain the climb. Billboard's Andrew Unterberger, writing on the song's Halloween performance, reported that on October 31 "Dracula" logged 2.8 million official on-demand U.S. streams, according to Luminate — a new single-day high for the track, by a nearly 40 percent margin over its previous best day. That earlier peak, Billboard wrote, had come on April 6 at just over 2 million streams, during the stretch when the JENNIE remix was accelerating on TikTok.

Billboard adds the seasonal comparisons that keep the 2.8 million figure in scale: a 56 percent gain from the 1.8 million streams the song posted on the prior Halloween, and a 148 percent gain from the 1.1 million it logged on Saturday, October 24. The same piece notes that the track has topped Billboard's Radio Songs chart for seven weeks and counting — airplay that was still robust in the week the Hot 100 rebound published.

We are reading those Luminate and Billboard figures as published. We are not inventing a weeks-in-the-top-10 total here; Billboard's Hot 100 listing for November 7 gives position, peak and weeks on chart, and that is the frame we use.

A BLACKPINK solo week, in chart terms

The same Billboard week carried a second solo headline. Yonhap reported that LISA's new solo EP, Press Play, debuted at No. 35 on the Billboard 200. allkpop, covering the same chart date, places that debut alongside the Hot 100 rebound as the week's twin BLACKPINK signals — one single reclaiming its peak, one album opening in the top 40 of the albums chart.

Elsewhere on those lists, Yonhap logged the wider K-pop footprint for the week: KATSEYE's "Animal" at No. 27 on the Hot 100; KATSEYE's Wild at No. 38 on the Billboard 200; BTS's ARIRANG at No. 57 in its 32nd week; CORTIS's GREENGREEN back at No. 90; and Stray Kids' This & That at No. 116. We have already read the CORTIS re-entry as its own Crown Report. Here it sits as context: November 7 was a busy American chart week for Korean acts, and two BLACKPINK members were part of that map without sharing a group release.

ACROSS ASIA

The same collaboration that reclaimed No. 5 in the United States has already proved it travels as a global single. Wikipedia's chart table for the JENNIE remix lists a peak of No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 — Tame Impala's first top ten on that chart and JENNIE's fifth as a soloist, in Wikipedia's accounting — and top-ten runs across markets including Canada, France, Singapore and the United Kingdom. On the November 7 American week, the Asia-facing comparison inside the Hot 100 itself is KATSEYE's "Animal" at No. 27: a HYBE-linked global group sharing the same singles chart with a BLACKPINK member's feature, one climbing back into the top five, the other holding inside the top 30. Different lanes, same board.

A fresh perspective: the second arrival at No. 5

Peaks get remembered as a single date. "Dracula" now has two: the first time it reached No. 5, on the chart dated July 18, and the week of November 7, when it climbed back there from No. 8. The useful applause is not only for how high, but for how the song could still assemble the streams — including a Halloween single-day high of 2.8 million — and the airplay to retake a floor it had already set.

Applause, then, for a collaboration that treated its peak as a place it could return to, not a one-week souvenir. Fifty-seven weeks in, "Dracula" is still writing its American chart chapter in the present tense.
