Alex Warren’s ‘Ordinary’ No. 1 on Hot 100 for 10th Week

The soundtrack to Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters snares a third Hot 100 top 10, as Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” buzzes 14-10. It gained by 4% to 17.6 million streams and 6% to 3,000 sold.

It’s the second Hot 100 top 10 for the quintet, as “Your Idol” becomes its first top five hit, jumping 8-4 led by 20.3 million streams (up 3%).

Meanwhile, HUNTR/X’s “Golden” retreats to No. 2 on the Hot 100 despite across-the-board gains to 32.8 million streams (up 4%) — it tops Streaming Songs for a fourth week —11.6 million in radio audience (up 38%) and 7,000 sold (up 6%).

Despite their on-screen battles, HUNTR/X and Saja Boys join to make KPop Demon Hunters a rare modern movie to have produced at least three Hot 100 top 10s, a feat more common in past decades.

Saturday Night Fever became the first, and to date only, soundtrack with four Hot 100 No. 1s, in 1977-78: Bee Gees “How Deep Is Your Love,” “Stayin’ Alive” and “Night Fever” and Yvonne Elliman’s “If I Can’t Have You” (also written by the trio). Later in 1978, four songs from Grease revved to the top 10, including Frankie Valli’s title track and “You’re the One That I Want” by the film’s leads John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

The ‘80s became a heyday for film and TV soundtracks, highlighted by The Jazz Singer, Footloose, Beverly Hills Cop, Miami Vice, Beverly Hills Cop II and Dirty Dancing, each with three Hot 100 top 10s. In 1984-85, Prince and the Revolution’s Purple Rain launched four Hot 100 top 10s, including the No. 1s “When Doves Cry” and “Let’s Go Crazy.”

In the ‘90s, Whitney Houston starred in The Bodyguard (three Hot 100 top 10s in 1992-93) and Waiting To Exhale (four in 1995-96; two by Houston, including one with CeCe Winans, and hits by Mary J. Blige and Brandy). In 1997, Space Jam and Batman & Robin each spun off three top 10s.

Soundtracks with multiple hits have experienced a bit of a reboot this decade, with two prior to KPop Demon Hunters each having produced two Hot 100 top 10s and a top 20 entry. In 2022, the Encanto cast scored with “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” (No. 1 for five weeks), “Surface Pressure” (No. 8) and “The Family Madrigal” (No. 20). In 2023, Barbie: The Album turned out Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” (No. 6), Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s “Barbie World,” with Aqua (No. 7), and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” (No. 14).

Meanwhile, KPop Demon Hunters joins the likes of Saturday Night Fever and Waiting To Exhale in having boasted three Hot 100 top 10s simultaneously.
