  • From Hot 100 to Billboard 200: KPOP DEMON HUNTERS OST Makes History

    The soundtrack of Netflix’s KPOP DEMON HUNTERS has reached No.1 on the Billboard 200, marking its first time topping the main album chart. Already a four-time No.1 on the Hot 100, the OST has now achieved the rare feat of sweeping both of Billboard’s main charts.

    The album earned 128,000 equivalent units, with streaming and digital downloads leading the way and physical sales jumping 56% from last week. Billboard attributed the success to the explosive popularity of nationwide sing-along screenings and multiple re-releases of the soundtrack. With a vinyl LP scheduled for October, the momentum is expected to continue.

    According to Billboard’s latest rankings, the OST overtook Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend. It debuted at No.8, held steady at No.2 for seven nonconsecutive weeks, and finally climbed to the top. This is the first OST to top the Billboard 200 since Encanto in 2022 and the only film soundtrack this year to rank in the top 10 of both the album and singles charts simultaneously.
