The soundtrack for the Netflix animated feature "K-Pop Demon Hunters" continues its phenomenal run on the U.S. Billboard charts, simultaneously charting eight songs on the main singles chart, the Hot 100. This sustained success solidifies the film's global cultural impact and the growing prominence of K-Pop-related media on the international stage.

The soundtrack's lead track, "Golden," secured the No. 2 position on the latest Hot 100 chart, released on October 28 (local time). Other songs from the OST demonstrating significant chart power include:

"Your Idol" at No. 17
"Soda Pop" at No. 23
"How It's Done" at No. 28
"What It Sounds Like" at No. 31
"Takedown" at No. 34
"Free" at No. 35

Additionally, the version of "Takedown" performed by TWICE members Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung, which is also on the soundtrack, charted at No. 74.

The "K-Pop Demon Hunters" OST album also maintained a commanding presence on the main albums chart, the Billboard 200, securing the No. 2 spot and marking its 18th consecutive week on the chart.

K-Pop Groups Shine on Singles and Album Charts 

Alongside the OST's success, several K-Pop groups made notable appearances on the latest charts:

KATSEYE, the global girl group from HYBE, charted two songs on the Hot 100: "Gabriela" reached No. 40, and "Gnarly" came in at No. 97. Their second extended play, "Beautiful Chaos," landed at No. 34 on the Billboard 200. "Gabriela" reportedly achieved its peak position on the Hot 100 for the second consecutive week.
TWICE's track "Strategy" held its ground at No. 69 on the Hot 100. Furthermore, their album "This Is For" was ranked No. 166 on the Billboard 200, continuing the group's impressive charting record.
Stray Kids' album "KARMA" continued to show staying power on the Billboard 200, charting at No. 82. The group has consistently achieved success on the U.S. charts with their full-length releases.
NMIXX made their debut on the Billboard 200 with their new full-length album, "Blue Valentine," entering the chart at No. 177. This marks a new milestone for the group, highlighting their rapidly expanding global footprint.
The simultaneous chart entries across multiple categories—OST, established groups, and debut albums—underscore the dynamic and diversified growth of K-Pop's influence in the North American music market.
