Saja Boys weren’t the only animated singers in HUNTR/X’s way. HUNTR/X, the heroic trio in Netflix’s smash film KPop Demon Hunters, claims a fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Golden” — which becomes the sole longest-leading hit by an animated act in the chart’s 67-year history. Two previous cartoon tunes each reigned for four weeks: The Archies, with “Sugar, Sugar” in 1969, and the Chipmunks with David Seville, with “The Chipmunk Song” over the 1958 holiday season. Upon the original ascent to No. 1 for “Golden,” HUNTR/X — the IRL singing trio of EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI (in the roles of the movie’s characters Rumi, Mira and Zoey) — became the first female group associated with Korean pop to crown the Hot 100. KPop Demon Hunters has also become the first soundtrack to generate four simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s over the chart’s archives. The songs place in the bracket for a fourth week, with Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop” each up a spot to return to their respective Nos. 4 and 5 bests and HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done” lifting one place to a new No. 8 high. Meanwhile, KPop Demon Hunters charts three songs in the Hot 100’s top five simultaneously for a third week. It surpasses the only other soundtrack that spun off three concurrent top five hits: For two weeks (April 8 and 15, 1978), three Saturday Night Fever songs were all in the top five: Bee Gees’ “Night Fever” and “Stayin’ Alive” and Yvonne Eliiman’s Bee Gees-penned “If I Can’t Have You” (at Nos. 1, 2 and 5, respectively). As previously reported, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack slashes its way to its first week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Thanks to the set and “Golden,” a soundtrack and one of its songs lead the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, respectively, for the first time since the charts dated March 5, 2022, when Encanto and its ensemble anthem “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” wrapped five weeks doubly dominating. (KPop Demon Hunters and Encanto are the only animated films to earn such honors.) Browse the full rundown of this week’s Hot 100 top 10 below.
