A few months later, in early February 2026, a remix featuring Blackpink singer Jennie was shared with the world. Once she was on an upward trajectory, it became a true worldwide phenomenon. <\/p>\n<p>The past few weeks have been incredibly exciting, with this title moving up the rankings multiple times. &#8220;Dracula&#8221; nearly conquers both <em>signboard<\/em>&#8216;s global roster, missing out on the top spot by just a spot or two with another hugely popular K-Pop favorite running the show.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">Jenny breaks the world chart record with \u201cDracula\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Dracula&#8221; flaps its wings and flies to a never-before-seen position on both Billboard Global Excl. and Billboard Global Excl. The first of these rankings examines the most consumed songs in every country except the United States, with sales and streaming helping to determine where musical works land. The Billboard Global 200 takes into account the opinions of people based in the United States. This time, \u201cDracula\u201d has moved up from No. 4 on the two rosters to the runner-up space on Billboard Global Exclusion. In the US, it ranked 3rd on the Billboard Global 200.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">BTS&#8217;s &#8216;Swim&#8217; stops Jennie&#8217;s &#8216;Dracula&#8217; from first place<\/h2>\n<p>In both cases, BTS led the way with their global smash hit &#8220;Swim.&#8221; That track, the first single from the septet&#8217;s comeback album <em>Arirang<\/em>is one of the boy band&#8217;s eight No. 1 songs, and with three slots on the chart already, &#8220;Swim&#8221; ranks as one of the band&#8217;s most successful songs. <\/p>\n<p>While &#8220;Dracula&#8221; ranks at number 2 in the United States on the Billboard Global Excl., Dominic Fike&#8217;s single &#8220;Babydoll&#8221; from a year ago, which became a hot topic in 2026, peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Global 200.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">Jennie&#8217;s new single matches &#8220;Mantra&#8221; <\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Dracula&#8221; is Jenny&#8217;s second single, which stalled at number 2 on the Billboard Global Exclusive chart. USA In the fall of 2024, her own \u201cMantra\u201d also missed out on the show by one place. She has achieved this record herself, but only once. \u201cYou &#038; Me\u201d opens at Summit in October 2023, with \u201cMantra\u201d almost doubling its amount exactly one year ago, and remains her sole leader so far.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">Jenny breaks her own solo career record<\/h2>\n<p>Looking at the Billboard Global 200, Jennie has yet to conquer that record, and in fact has never soared beyond her current ranking. \u201cDracula\u201d tied the song at No. 3 with \u201cMantra,\u201d and the two jointly claim the honor of her biggest hit.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">Blackpink has already achieved multiple No. 1 charts<\/h2>\n<p>Blackpink, which catapulted Jennie and her bandmates Jisoo, Lisa and Ros\u00e9 to superstardom, has asserted multiple supremacy. \u201cPink Venom,\u201d \u201cShut Down,\u201d and \u201cJump\u201d all debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 for nearly three years. The group sent the same three songs to the highest position on Billboard Global Excl. America, and \u201cLovesick Girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">Jenny releases multiple hit songs alongside &#8216;Dracula&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>Jenny currently occupies three spaces on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. USA Her second highest-rising win on the global list is &#8220;One of the Girls,&#8221; which also credits both The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp. About Billboard Global (Excluding) In the US, her biggest hit song, except for &#8220;Dracula,&#8221; is her own &#8220;Like Jenny.&#8221; Both of these tracks are included in two rosters.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link-embed__info\"><span class=\"link-embed__provider\">forbes<\/span><span class=\"link-embed__title\">Jenny makes chart history with another American radio hit<\/span><small class=\"link-embed__byline\">by <span class=\"link-embed__author\">Hugh McIntyre<\/span><\/small><\/span><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail-wrapper\"><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail allow-inline-style\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/specials-images.forbesimg.com\/imageserve\/69df92a7218c7d89f1d574e0\/960x0.jpg)\"\/><\/span><\/div>\n<p>#BTS #prevents #KPop #superstar #achieving #solo #spot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; FEBRUARY 21: (From left) Jimin, Jungkook, RM, J-Hope, V, Jin, and Suga of K-pop boy group BTS visit the &#8220;Today&#8221; show at Rockefeller Plaza on February 21, 2020 in New York City.
