Jennie has set a new personal best on the main Billboard singles chart in the United States.

According to the latest Billboard charts released Tuesday (local time), "Dracula," her remix collaboration with Australian psychedelic rock act Tame Impala, climbed two spots from the previous week to No. 8 on the Hot 100. The track's viral resurgence on short-form video platforms has translated into a firm Top 10 placement.

Jennie's chart momentum has been matched by a strong run on European festival stages. On Friday she headlined the Roskilde Festival in Denmark — the largest music festival in Northern Europe — and the following day she topped the bill at Open'er Festival in Poland, the biggest such event in Central Europe. She is the first K-pop artist to headline both flagship European festivals on consecutive nights.

Roskilde's music director Thomas Søndergby Jepsen praised her as "an artist who firmly establishes the festival's identity — the trends of today and the ideals of tomorrow," while Open'er's organizers called her "the most influential female artist of this era," citing her wide cultural impact.

Beyond Jennie's solo run, other K-pop acts continued to make their presence felt on the Billboard charts. "Iconic by Mistake," a collaboration among three HYBE girl groups, entered the Hot 100 for a third consecutive week at No. 49, while ATEEZ claimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 with their 14th mini-album — their third No. 1 on that chart overall. BTS's "Arirang" also held firm in the upper tier at No. 19.
