Jennie Misses Out on K-Pop Radio History by Just One Space, as Olivia Dean Holds Top Spot
Jennie and Tame Impala's collaboration, "Dracula," nearly reached the pinnacle of the Radio Songs chart, peaking at No. 2. However, they were blocked from the top spot by Olivia Dean's "So Easy (To Fall in Love)." This marks Jennie's second appearance on the all-format radio ranking, following "One of the Girls" with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp.
"Dracula" became one of only four K-pop-connected tracks to reach the top 10 on the Radio Songs chart, joining "Golden" from *KPop Demon Hunters*, Rosé and Bruno Mars's "Apt.," and BTS's "Dynamite." K-pop music typically performs well on U.S. charts due to strong sales, with soloists and groups often selling massive numbers of albums and songs.
While K-pop artists perform well on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, they often lag behind hip-hop superstars and major pop acts on radio. South Korean musicians have been slow to gain traction on radio, but breakout hits are gradually changing that. Jennie's "Dracula" debuted on the Radio Songs chart in April, marking Tame Impala's first appearance on the all-format list.
