Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters continues to be both a box office and chart-topping phenomenon. Last week, four tracks from the film’s soundtrack landed in the top five of the Billboard Global 200, a rare feat shared only with releases from Taylor Swift and Drake in recent years.
Leading the charge is HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” which holds No. 1 for a fifth nonconsecutive week. The group’s “How It’s Done” also climbed into the top five, while fellow soundtrack act Saja Boys rose with “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol.” Together, the two fictional groups account for four of the top five spots worldwide.
In a milestone moment, the soundtrack also made U.S. chart history: it’s the first movie soundtrack in more than 45 years to send three songs into the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 5 simultaneously, a benchmark last reached in 1978 with Saturday Night Fever.
With streaming numbers still climbing and fan engagement showing no signs of slowing, KPop Demon Hunters is proving itself as not just a hit film, but a cultural music event.
