The soundtrack for K-Pop Demon Hunters has now spent 60 weeks on Billboard’s Top Soundtracks chart, with 56 of those weeks at No. 1. With that result, the album is now just six weeks away from breaking the record for the longest stay at No. 1 since the chart was created in 2001.
The soundtrack lost the top spot on only four occasions, to Wicked: For Good, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Charli XCX’s Wuthering Heights and Heated Rivalry. If it keeps up its current performance, K-Pop Warriors is expected to become the soundtrack with the most weeks at the top of the chart.
Everything you need to know about K-Pop Demon Hunters
The plot of K-Pop Demon Hunters follows HUNTR/X as they split their time between performing for fans and hunting demons — the problem is that now the villains have also decided to form a K-pop group (the Saja Boys) to compete with them for the public’s adoration.
In the English voice cast, Ejae sings as Rumi, leader of HUNTR/X, while Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami round out the group as Mira and Zoey, respectively. They share the roles with actresses Arden Cho (Rumi), May Hong (Mira) and Ji-young Yoo (Zoey), who provide the characters’ speaking voices.
Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, K-Pop Warriors also features names like Ahn Hyo-seop (Jinu), Yunjin Kim (Celine), Ken Jeong (Bobby), Lee Byung-hun (Gwi-ma) and Daniel Dae Kim (Healer Han) in the English voice cast.
The film became a huge hit on Netflix after its release, eventually reaching the top of the platform’s all-time most-watched feature films list — and later, its most-watched content overall. “Golden,” “Your Idol,” “Soda Pop,” and other songs from the soundtrack landed on charts in the U.S. and around the world.
K-Pop Demon Hunters also proved to be an awards season favorite, winning trophies at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, the 2026 Golden Globes, and the 2026 Oscars.
The film is still available to stream on Netflix; a sequel was confirmed to be in pre-production, currently slated for release in 2029.
