KPop Demon Hunters Slays All Streaming Into Chart Music History (ep.401)
Update: 2025-08-29
Description
The animated action musical "KPop Demon Hunters" has become a global phenomenon, breaking Netflix viewership records with 236 million views in two months, outpacing films like "Red Notice." Its steady viewership, with only a 2% weekly drop, mirrors the staying power of family-friendly content, bolstered by a No. 1 box office run, sing-along screenings, and a sequel announcement.
The soundtrack has made history, placing four songs—"Golden" at No. 1, "Your Idol" at No. 4, "Soda Pop" at No. 5, and "How It’s Done" at No. 10—in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10, a first for any soundtrack. "Golden" has topped streaming charts for five weeks, with the album hitting No. 2 on the Billboard 200. This success is partly due to a lack of new pop music releases, allowing the film’s KPop-inspired tracks to dominate.
The cultural impact extends to a new Funko merchandise line, including light sticks, cementing the film’s influence across streaming, music, and fan engagement.
