Standing in 14th place is "Dracula (remix)" - a collaboration between Jennie and Australian artist Tame Impala. According to Billboard, this is one of the few remixes that has an attraction that surpasses the original version thanks to the clear mark of the Blackpink female singer.
Critic Lyndsey Havens commented that Jennie does not simply appear in a few segments but is present throughout the song. Her characteristic whispering voice contributes to creating a closer, more dialogue atmosphere than the original version of Kevin Parker. Changes in the lyrics also help the song become new, attracting both original fans and the general audience.
Meanwhile, BTS ranked 25th with the song "Swim" - the opening single for the studio album "Arirang". This is the group's first new music album since 2020.
Billboard assessed "Swim" as having alternative-pop colors with an average, gentler melody compared to the vibrant hits that made up BTS's brand. The image of "diving into the water" is used as a metaphor of accepting challenges, daring to step into the unknown and being ready for a new journey.
According to writer Kristen Wisneski, the feeling of peace and contemplation created by the smooth synth sound has helped the song touch the emotions of listeners. This is also considered one of the factors contributing to bringing BTS back to the number 1 position on the Hot 100 chart.
In 45th place is "Pinky up" by global girl group KATSEYE. Billboard commented that the song is part of the new music orientation that the group is pursuing.
The song carries a positive message when choosing to enjoy life even in the context of the near apocalypse. With bright melodies and vibrant rhythm, "Pinky up" quickly became a favorite song on music platforms and in the group's summer festival stages.
The appearance of Jennie, BTS and KATSEYE in Billboard's list continues to show the strong influence of Korean artists in the international music market in 2026.
