Blackpink's Jennie is making waves in the music industry, but this time, it's not just about her band's success. Jennie's recent collaboration with Tame Impala, the musical project of Kevin Parker, has led to a historic achievement for both artists and the K-pop group. The remix of Tame Impala's single 'Dracula' has climbed to the top of the Billboard Pop Airplay chart, marking a significant milestone for Jennie and Blackpink.
This achievement is all the more remarkable considering the competitive nature of the Pop Airplay chart. Jennie and Tame Impala's 'Dracula' is the first leader on the top 40 ranking for both artists, and it's a testament to their unique and cross-genre appeal. This success comes on the heels of Blackpink's member Rosé reaching the top spot in February 2025 with her collaboration with Bruno Mars, 'Apt.' This makes Blackpink only the fourth group in the history of the Pop Airplay chart to have multiple members score No. 1s as soloists.
The group's success is not limited to the Pop Airplay chart. 'Dracula' currently rules seven Billboard charts, showcasing its widespread appeal and impact on various music genres. This includes the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, Rock Streaming Songs, and Dance Streaming Songs charts. Jennie's ability to collaborate and create hits across different genres is a testament to her versatility and talent.
The article also highlights the success of other girl groups in achieving multiple No. 1s on the Pop Airplay chart. Destiny's Child, with Kelly Rowland, and Fifth Harmony, with members Normani, Camila Cabello, and others, have all made their mark on the chart. However, none have achieved the level of success that Blackpink is currently experiencing. One Direction, another popular boy band, has also seen multiple members reach the top spot, but Blackpink's achievement is particularly notable given the group's recent rise to global stardom.
Jennie's solo career and her ability to collaborate with artists like Tame Impala are significant factors in Blackpink's continued success. Her solo endeavors not only showcase her artistic growth but also contribute to the group's overall appeal and longevity. As Blackpink continues to make history, Jennie's role in these achievements is undeniable, and her impact on the music industry is set to grow even further.
