The original soundtrack of Netflix’s animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters continues to make waves on the U.S. Billboard charts, marking an extraordinary performance for a K-pop-themed project.

As of July 22 (local time), Billboard reported that “Golden” by the fictional girl group Huntrix ranked No. 4 on the Hot 100. The song made its debut earlier this month at No. 81 and has rapidly climbed the chart. In a rare feat, eight tracks from the OST are now simultaneously charting on the Hot 100.

Rival boy group Lion Boyz also continues their streak with “Your Idol” coming in at No. 14, maintaining a four-week presence. Huntrix’s “How It’s Done” and Lion Boyz’s “Soda Pop” followed at No. 23 and No. 25, respectively.

The duet “Free” by Lumi and Jinwoo landed at No. 41, while Huntrix’s “What It Sounds Like” ranked No. 43. Two versions of “Takedown” also entered the chart: Huntrix’s original at No. 51 and a remix featuring TWICE members Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung at No. 90.

The K-Pop Demon Hunters OST album also ranked No. 5 on the Billboard 200, holding strong on the albums chart.

Real-world K-pop acts are also seeing success. BLACKPINK’s new single “Jump” debuted at No. 28 on the Hot 100. Member Rosé extended her chart streak to 39 consecutive weeks with “Apartment,” a duet with Bruno Mars, coming in at No. 40.

ATEEZ's “In Your Fantasy” reentered the Hot 100 at No. 68, and their special edition album Golden Hour: Part 3 returned to No. 7 on the Billboard 200.

Additionally, Rosé’s “Messy” appears on the F1: The Album soundtrack for the film F1 The Movie, which ranked No. 23. Girl group CAT’S EYE’s Beautiful Chaos placed at No. 24, while ENHYPEN’s Desire: Unleash charted at No. 163.
