HUNTR/X’s “Golden” jumps up one spot to retake No. 1 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart. The chart-topping song also helps make history for the music associated with the hit animated Netflix film, KPop Demon Hunters, which becomes the first soundtrack ever to have four songs appear simultaneously in the Hot 100 Top 10. Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” remains at its No. 4 peak, while their other charting hit, “Soda Pop,” vaults up five places to No. 5, and HUNTR/X – featuring EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI – claims their second Top 10 with “How It’s Done,” which jumps four spots to reach No. 10, setting the Billboard chart record in the process.
Kpop Demon Hunters is the first soundtrack with at least four Hot 100 Top 10s overall since Waiting To Exhale set a record with five in 1995-96, while joining the only other soundtracks with four Top 10s each, Saturday Night Fever (in 1977-78), Grease (1978) and Prince and the Revolution’s Purple Rain (1984-85). The rest of the Hot 100 Top 10 includes Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” which drops a spot to No. 2 following 10 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, while Morgan Wallen’s “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, holds at No. 3, Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not” falls one slot to No. 6, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” stays at No. 7, Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” drops two places to No. 8, and Wallen’s “Just in Case” slides down one spot to No. 9.
