Tame Impala’s ‘Dracula’ Sinks Teeth Into Top of Alternative Airplay Chart

Nearly a year after reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay for the first time, Tame Impala leads again, topping the Feb. 7-dated ranking with “Dracula.”

The song follows the one-week reign of “Neverender,” a collaboration with Justice, last March.

Tame Impala’s two rulers in a row come after more than a decade of Alternative Airplay appearances that began with the No. 8-peaking “Elephant” in 2013, followed by initial top five “Lost in Yesterday” in 2020.

Concurrently, “Dracula” lifts to a new high of No. 2 on Adult Alternative Airplay, Tame Impala’s best rank since “Is It True?” led the list for three weeks in 2020. On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, “Dracula” holds at its No. 3 best with 3.9 million audience impressions in the week ending Jan. 29, a gain of 3%, according to Luminate.

The song is also crossing to pop radio, as it bullets at No. 19 on Adult Pop Airplay and No. 28 on Pop Airplay.

“Dracula” is the lead single from Deadbeat, Tame Impala’s fifth studio album. The tune became his first to make the multimetric Billboard Hot 100, eventually peaking at No. 30 in November. It also hit No. 3 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and ruled Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for five weeks. It ranked at No. 2 on the most recently published Hot Dance/Electronic Songs (dated Jan. 31, utilizing Jan. 16-22 data); in addition to its radio airplay, it drew 3.5 million official U.S. streams.

Deadbeat bowed at No. 1 on multiple Billboard charts dated Nov. 1, 2025, and has earned 272,000 equivalent album units to date.
