What started as an animated fantasy has turned into a full-blown K-pop phenomenon. The Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters continues its remarkable chart run, placing eight original soundtrack (OST) tracks simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 this week — a rare feat for any soundtrack album.
According to the latest chart released on Tuesday, the film’s breakout hit Golden climbed to No. 2, marking its 19th consecutive week on the Hot 100. Following close behind were Your Idol at No. 13, Soda Pop at No. 18, and How It’s Done at No. 23.
Other tracks also secured strong positions: What It Sounds Like ranked No. 30, Takedown landed at No. 36, Free came in at No. 40, and a special version of Takedown performed by TWICE members Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung entered at No. 80.
The animated blockbuster’s multi-track success highlights its enduring global popularity and underscores the continued crossover between K-pop and visual media.
Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM made a strong Billboard debut with their new single Spaghetti, which entered the Hot 100 at No. 50, setting a new personal best for the group. Their previous peak was No. 76 with Crazy.
Driven by its gritty tone and unconventional lyrics, Spaghetti showcases LE SSERAFIM’s bold artistic identity. The song also features J-Hope of BTS, whose rap verse adds dynamic energy to the track’s layered production.
Beyond LE SSERAFIM, other K-pop acts also made waves on this week’s chart. HYBE’s global girl group KATSEYE ranked No. 37 with Gabriela, while TWICE placed No. 72 with Strategy.
