Billboard charts just can’t get enough of K-Pop 🇰🇷, especially “K-Pop Demon Hunters”
On Tuesday, July 15, Billboard updated its charts for the week of July 19 (aka the third week of July), and let’s just say… I’m very happy with what I’m seeing. 🤗
Once again, K-pop is invading the charts—in the best way possible!
📈 Billboard Hot 100:
The main title song of the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, “Golden” by Huntrix, skyrocketed from No. 23 to No. 6 in just one week! 😝 What. A. Feat.
Another banger, “Your Idol” by Saja Boys, jumped from No. 31 to No. 16.
Other KDH soundtracks in the Hot 100:
- No. 29: ‘How It’s Done ‘– HUNTRIX (⬆️ From No.42)
- No. 35: ‘Soda Pop’ – Saja Boys (⬆️ From No.49)
- No. 41: ‘Free‘– Rumi & Jinu (EJAE & Andrew Choi) (⬆️ From No. 58)
- No. 43: ‘What It Sounds Like’ – HUNTRIX (⬆️ From No. 55)
- No. 51: ‘Takedown’ – HUNTRIX (⬆️ From No.64)
- No. 86: ‘Takedown‘ – Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Chaeyoung of Twice (🔥 New Entry)
That’s 8 out of 12 soundtrack songs comfortably on the Hot 100—and all climbing.
Of course, it wasn’t a great week for everyone.
Rosé took a small hit: ‘APT ‘ (with Bruno Mars) slipped from No. 27 to No. 30 and ‘On My Mind’ (with Alex Warren) dropped to No. 76 from No. 60. KATSEYE also dipped, now down to one song: ‘Gabriela‘ on No. 95.

“K-Pop Demon Hunters” is killing it here too—No. 2 on the Billboard 200! 🤯 KATSEYE is holding strong at No. 15. Respect!
