The animated sensation “KPop Demon Hunters” has not only drawn millions of fans to the screen–now the film is also dominating the charts. Rumi, Mira, and Zoey from Huntr/x are chasing not just demons but also records. The mix of K-Pop beats, action, and Korean mythology made the film a surprise hit. Now, the soundtrack is making headlines.
Soundtrack Conquers the Billboard Charts
Almost three months after the film’s release, the soundtrack has finally reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as reported by “The Hollywood Reporter.” It held the No. 2 spot for weeks, just behind Sabrina Carpenter’s “Man’s Best Friend.” The deluxe version released in early September gave it the decisive push: On Sunday, the soundtrack topped the charts.
The individual songs are also seeing success: “Golden” has been leading the charts for weeks. “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop” secured the No. 4 and No. 5 spots, while “How It’s Done” is at No. 9. This means four songs from the film are simultaneously in the Top 10–a rare achievement for a soundtrack.
Golden Records
“Golden,” the hit single from Huntr/x, is making history: According to “Variety,” the song has been at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, breaking the 56-year-old record for the longest-running No. 1 song by a fictional music group from an animated film. Previously, “Sugar, Sugar” (The Archies, 1969) and “The Chipmunk Song” (The Chipmunks, 1958) held this title, each for four weeks.
The success of “Golden” underscores the significant impact of K-Pop on the international music scene. Critics see the record as proof that K-Pop soundtracks have become a global mass phenomenon.

Stars Behind the Voices
The main characters Rumi, Zoey, and Mira are voiced by artists EJAE, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna. Their songs are crucial to Huntr/x’s success. Many fans even say that the soundtrack would never have reached such heights in the charts without their voices.
Meanwhile, the three musicians are now regularly performing together. At the MTV Video Music Awards, they presented Sabrina Carpenter with the “Album of the Year” award last week. On stage, they thanked their fans for their support. EJAE summed it up:
“The last few months have been crazy and amazing, an incredible journey for us.”
Kpop Demon Hunters 2?
And the journey seems to continue: Netflix and Sony Animation are in talks about a possible sequel. According to insiders, Huntr/x could face not only new adversaries in part two but also new international stages, perhaps even a world tour within the story.
Producers have hinted that the sequel to “Kpop Demon Hunters” could offer even bigger musical moments, with brand-new songs and collaborations with well-known K-Pop stars. Given the current hype, a second film is almost certain, and many fans are already speculating about possible content. The charts are likely to expect another storm soon.
