NETFLIX’S ‘K-POP DEMON HUNTERS’ OST IS ABSOLUTELY CRUSHING THE CHARTS
The Netflix animated movie “K-Pop Demon Hunters” soundtrack is making SERIOUS waves on the Billboard Hot 100 — and we’re talking back-to-back weeks at #2!
Here’s what’s going down…
THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE!
Billboard announced Monday that “Golden” — the hit track from the fictional K-pop girl group “Huntrix” in the movie — just secured its SECOND consecutive week at #2 on the Hot 100, sitting right behind Alex Warren’s “Ordinary.”
But wait, it gets BETTER! This song started at a measly #81 last month and has been on an INSANE climb: 81 → 23 → 6 → 4 → 2 → 2. That’s what we call a CHART TAKEOVER!
STREAMING EXPLOSION!
The track is absolutely DOMINATING streaming platforms with:
- 28.9 MILLION streams (up 13% from last week!)
- 5 straight weeks as the #1 most-streamed song on the Hot 100
- Radio airplay SURGED 31% to 4.9 million
- Sales jumped 19% to 5,000 units
WHO’S BEHIND THE MAGIC?
Get this — “Golden” features:
- EJAE (former SM Entertainment trainee turned composer)
- Audrey Nuna (Korean-American singer)
- Rei Ami
AND there’s more! The competing boy group from the movie, “Lion Boys,” just cracked the TOP 10 at #9 with “Your Idol” — jumping 3 spots!
DAVID GUETTA REMIX EFFECT
The David Guetta remix dropped on July 25th and it’s been ROCKET FUEL for the song’s radio success!
Bottom line: This animated K-pop soundtrack is doing what most REAL artists can only dream of. Netflix just struck GOLD!
