'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack tops Billboard albums chart

The soundtrack for Netflix's global hit animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" has reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart. The soundtrack achieved a milestone by topping both Billboard's Hot 100 main singles chart and the Billboard 200. According to Billboard's preview released Sunday (U.S. time), the album climbed one spot to No. 1 in its 12th week of release, surpassing Sabrina Carpenter's "Man's Best Friend." "Golden," a track from the soundtrack, has held the top spot on the Hot 100 for four weeks. Billboard noted "KPop Demon Hunters" is the Billboard 200's first No. 1 animation soundtrack in three and a half years, following "Encanto" in 2022. Debuting at No. 8 in late June, the "Demon Hunters" soundtrack steadily climbed the chart as the film's popularity grew. It went on to spend seven nonconsecutive weeks at No. 2 before reaching No. 1 for the first time this week.Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
