🔥 Kpop Demon Hunters’ OSTs climb Billboard charts as global K-pop icons jump into the storm
Kpop Demon Hunters Dominates the Billboard with Fictional & Real Stars
The global phenomenon Kpop Demon Hunters continues its unstoppable reign. The Netflix animated film’s fictional K-pop groups, Huntrix and Saja Boys, are rewriting history on the Billboard charts, and now, top-tier real-life idols like BTS, BLACKPINK, and TWICE have joined the ride—turning this into a true K-pop power takeover.
Huntrix’s powerful anthem “Golden” climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, a new peak. Saja Boys’ addictive hit “Your Idol” held strong at No. 12. But it didn’t stop there—Huntrix’s “How It’s Done” and Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” rose to 19 and 21 respectively.
And fans can’t get enough of their duets either. Huntrix’s Lumi and Saja Boys’ Jinwoo soared to No. 30 with the emotional track “Free,” while other tracks like “What It Sounds Like” and “Takedown” also climbed dramatically.
BLACKPINK, TWICE, and BTS Fuel the Heat 🔥
As the animated idols set the tone, the real K-pop titans added gasoline to the fire.
- BLACKPINK made a comeback with the electrifying new single “JUMP,” landing at No. 53 on the Hot 100.
- Rosé’s duet with Bruno Mars, “APT.,” jumped 5 spots to No. 35, celebrating 40 weeks on the chart—an emotional milestone for Blinks.
Meanwhile, TWICE made waves with their comeback track “Strategy” from Kpop Demon Hunters, debuting at No. 92, proving the group’s enduring global charm.
On the Billboard 200, the Kpop Demon Hunters OST album hit No. 3, while BTS claimed their 8th Top 10 album with Permission to Dance On Stage – Live, landing at No. 10.
