The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack just scored its first Billboard 200 #1, proving great music can take the slow-and-steady route to the top.
The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack has pulled off a remarkable feat, climbing to #1 on the Billboard 200 in its twelfth week of release. This marks the first soundtrack to top the chart in 2025, underscoring the album’s steady rise and enduring appeal with audiences of all ages.
What makes this achievement especially notable is its cross-generational impact. The soundtrack has resonated strongly with younger listeners while drawing in casual fans of both K-pop and animated features. Nearly every song has already surpassed 100 million Spotify streams, with breakout track “Golden” leading the charge as the undeniable fan favorite.
Packed with high-energy collaborations, the album boasts appearances from HUNTR/X, Andrew Choi, Saja Boys, Danny Chung, REI AMI, and more. The diverse lineup blends infectious pop hooks with cinematic production, making each track feel like a character-driven adventure that mirrors the movie’s colorful, action-packed world.
Seeing a soundtrack achieve this level of mainstream success is refreshing in today’s music landscape. KPop Demon Hunters proves that a well-crafted, story-driven project can captivate U.S. listeners and dominate the charts—even months after its initial release.
