BLACKPINK is celebrating a massive milestone — JENNIE's 'Dracula' collaboration with Tame Impala has cracked the Billboard Hot 100 top 10, making her the second BLACKPINK member to achieve solo success at that level after ROSÉ. The group's legacy as trendsetters in K-pop continues to grow.
The real story here isn't just the achievement — it's what this means for the internal dynamics of a group whose members have increasingly pursued separate paths. With Jisoo and LISA watching from the sidelines, pressure is mounting. Which member will be the next to make history?
JENNIE's 'Dracula' (with Tame Impala) debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated May 16, 2026 — marking each act's first top 10 hit. ROSÉ previously reached No. 3 with her Bruno Mars collaboration 'APT.' in February 2025.
BLACKPINK has officially entered rarefied air as just the fifth group ever to have multiple women members achieve solo Hot 100 top 10s — but the real question now is whether Jisoo or LISA will be the third to join that list.
The Billboard Hot 100 has spoken, and JENNIE is officially a top 10 artist in America. Her collaboration with Tame Impala on "Dracula" jumped to No. 10 on the chart dated May 16, 2026, giving both the K-pop superstar and Kevin Parker's psychedelic project their first-ever Hot 100 top 10. The track, originally released as a Tame Impala solo offering last October before the duet version arrived in early February, has finally broken through — but the real story extends far beyond one song's chart performance.
Here's what makes this moment significant: JENNIE is now the second member of BLACKPINK to score a solo Hot 100 top 10 hit, joining ROSÉ whose Bruno Mars collaboration "APT." climbed all the way to No. 3 back in February 2025. That achievement officially elevates BLACKPINK into an incredibly exclusive club — they're now just the fifth group in chart history with at least two women members who have reached the top 10 as soloists.
The company they're keeping? Destiny's Child (Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland), Fifth Harmony (Camila Cabello and Normani), Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie), the Go-Go's (Belinda Carlisle and Jane Wiedlin), and the Runaways (Lita Ford and Joan Jett). That's legendary territory.
Let's break down what each BLACKPINK member has accomplished so far. ROSÉ's "APT." with Bruno Mars hit No. 3 in February 2025, while JENNIE's "Dracula" just landed at No. 10 this week. The group's previous closest approach to the top 10 came with "Ice Cream" featuring Selena Gomez back in 2020, which peaked at a frustrating No. 13 — so there's clearly been pent-up ambition waiting for the right moment to strike.
That leaves Jisoo and LISA as the two remaining members who haven't yet cracked this particular ceiling, though sources suggest both have been quietly building toward their own major crossover moments. The competitive undercurrents here are impossible to ignore. While BLACKPINK has always marketed themselves as a unified force — four women dominating global stages from Coachella to Seoul's National Museum of Korea illuminated in pink for their releases — the solo trajectories are diverging in dramatic fashion.
ROSÉ found commercial lightning with Bruno Mars, JENNIE went experimental with Tame Impala, and now all eyes are on who strikes next. Industry insiders note that Jisoo has been strategically selective about her Western collaborations, while LISA's hip-hop connections have positioned her as a potential crossover candidate — but neither has announced anything concrete yet. What makes this milestone particularly juicy is the timing.
BLACKPINK's contract negotiations and group activity schedules have been the subject of intense speculation for months, with fans wondering if the members are drifting toward permanent solo careers. Hitting these chart milestones individually only intensifies that conversation — because when you can point to multiple top 10 hits outside the group structure, what exactly is keeping the band together? The achievement is undeniable, the legacy is being cemented, but the real tea brewing underneath is whether BLACKPINK's best charting days will come as individuals rather than as a unit. For now, though, JENNIE gets her flowers — and the countdown to see who joins her in this exclusive club has officially begun.
