'K-Pop Demon Hunters' continues its popularity, leading to top Billboard rankings.
On the 21st (local time), according to a preview article released by Billboard on its official website for the Hot 100 top 10 chart due on the 26th, the Netflix movie 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' (abbreviated as KDH) OTS 'Golden' has secured the 4th position. Last week, 'Golden' had recorded 6th place in the same ranking, thus making a remarkable leap of 2 places to achieve its highest ever ranking.
Simultaneously, this surpasses the figure of 5th place, which was the highest ranking on the same chart for the Disney animated film 'Frozen' soundtrack 'Let It Go' that caused a global sensation in 2013. All the animated film soundtracks that have surpassed 'Let It Go' in the Billboard Hot 100 chart are from Disney animated works.
Among Disney animated works, the classic masterpiece 'Aladdin' recorded 1st place on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1993 with 'A Whole New World.' The following year, another Disney animated film, 'The Lion King,' saw 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' reach 4th place.
In 1995, the Disney animated film 'Pocahontas' soundtrack 'Colors of the Wind' also reached 4th place. Additionally, another Disney animated film released in 2022, 'Encanto: The Magical World,' saw its soundtrack 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' clinch the top spot, marking the first time in 29 years that a Disney animated soundtrack topped the Billboard charts.
Amidst this, global fans' interest in 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' remains unabated, raising expectations for new record-breaking achievements.
'K-Pop Demon Hunters' is an animated film recently released on Netflix, featuring K-pop superstars the girl group HuntRix (Lumi, Mira, Joy) who play hidden heroes protecting the world by creating a spirit to thwart evil spirits behind the glamorous stage. Not only K-pop, but the detailed Korean-style authenticity and the OSTs featured in the work, such as 'Golden,' 'Your Idol,' and 'Soda Pop,' are sweeping the Billboard charts, causing a global sensation.
