제니×테임 임팔라 '드라큘라', 빌보드 핫 100 톱10 16주째…K팝 최장

JENNIE and Tame Impala's 'Dracula' Spends a 16th Week in the Hot 100 Top 10, a K-pop Record

블랙핑크 제니와 테임 임팔라의 협업곡 ’드라큘라’가 9월 19일 자 빌보드 ’핫 100’에서 6위를 지켰습니다. 이 곡은 통산 16주째 톱10에 머물러, BTS가 2021년 발매한 ’버터’가 갖고 있던 15주 기록을 넘어섰습니다. K팝 그룹과 솔로 가수를 통틀어 ‘핫 100’ 10위 안에 가장 오래 머문 기록이며, 최고 순위는 5위였습니다. BTS는 2020년 ’다이너마이트’로 한국 가수 최초로 ‘핫 100’ 1위에 올랐고, ’버터’는 10주 동안 1위를 지켰습니다. 제니는 톱10에 머문 기간에서는 BTS를 앞섰지만, 1위 기록에는 아직 닿지 못했습니다. ’드라큘라’는 호주 싱어송라이터 케빈 파커의 프로젝트 테임 임팔라가 지난해 9월 발표한 앨범 ’데드비트’의 수록곡으로, 올해 2월 제니가 참여한 리믹스가 공개된 뒤 인기를 끌고 있습니다.

Translation

'Dracula', the collaboration between BLACKPINK's JENNIE and Tame Impala, held at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated 19 September. The song has now spent a cumulative 16 weeks in the top 10, passing the 15-week record held by 'Butter', released by BTS in 2021. It is the longest any K-pop act, group or soloist, has stayed inside the Hot 100's top 10, and its peak was number 5. BTS became the first Korean act to top the Hot 100 with 'Dynamite' in 2020, and 'Butter' then held number 1 for 10 weeks. JENNIE has overtaken BTS for time spent in the top 10, but has not yet reached their number-1 record. 'Dracula' is a track from 'Deadbeat', the album that Tame Impala, the psychedelic-pop project of the Australian singer-songwriter Kevin Parker, released last September, and it has been gaining popularity since a remix featuring JENNIE was released in February.

Grammar points

N째the Nth (in a running count)

째 after a number and a unit gives an ordinal in a running count: 16주째, the 16th week. Chart stories use it constantly because a run is measured as it happens. Contrast 16주 동안 (for 16 weeks), which describes a finished span.

Example: 이 곡은 통산 16주째 톱10에 머물러, '버터'가 갖고 있던 15주 기록을 넘어섰습니다.

The song has now spent a cumulative 16th week in the top 10, passing the 15-week record held by 'Butter'.

-지만but, although

-지만 balances two measures against each other: on one yardstick JENNIE is ahead, on another BTS still is. The 는 in 기간에서는 marks the first yardstick as the topic of contrast, and the clause after -지만 supplies the other. That pairing of 에서는 and -지만 is how Korean writes 'in X, yes; in Y, not yet'.

Example: 제니는 톱10에 머문 기간에서는 BTS를 앞섰지만, 1위 기록에는 아직 닿지 못했습니다.

JENNIE has overtaken BTS for time in the top 10, but has not yet reached their number-1 record.

-(으)ㄴ 뒤에after ...

-(으)ㄴ 뒤 (with or without 에) places one event after another that is complete: 리믹스가 공개된 뒤 인기를 끌고 있다, it has been gaining popularity since the remix came out. The verb before 뒤 takes the past modifier -(으)ㄴ, and the main clause can be ongoing, as 끌고 있다 is here.

Example: 올해 2월 제니가 참여한 리믹스가 공개된 뒤 인기를 끌고 있습니다.

It has been gaining popularity since the remix featuring JENNIE was released in February.
