"Dracula" by Tame Impala, featuring Blackpink's Jennie, has spent 16 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, setting a new record for a K-pop act on the chart and surpassing the 15-week mark previously held by BTS' "Butter."

According to a Billboard chart preview published Monday (local time), "Dracula" held at No. 6 on the Hot 100 this week, matching its position from the previous week. The run breaks the record BTS set with "Butter," which spent 15 weeks in the top 10.

Originally released as a Tame Impala solo track in October last year, "Dracula" gained renewed momentum after a remix featuring Jennie dropped in February, going viral on short-form video platforms and climbing back up the chart. The song has since peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100.
