The original soundtrack (OST) of the Netflix animation "K-Pop Demon Hunters" has simultaneously topped the two main Billboard charts in the United States. On the 15th (local time), Billboard announced that the OST "Golden" from "K-Pop Demon Hunters" held the number one spot on the main singles chart, the "Hot 100," for five consecutive weeks. The song has remained on the chart for 12 consecutive weeks.

The "Hot 100" chart ranks songs based on streaming data, radio airplay, and sales data within the United States. During the latest chart tracking period, "Golden" recorded 33.8 million streams, a 2% decrease from the previous week. Its radio airplay increased by 19% to 26.3 million, while sales dropped by 11% to 8,000.

This week, the "K-Pop Demon Hunters" OST also reached number one for the first time on the main album chart, the "Billboard 200." Its previous highest position on the "Billboard 200" was number two. The album stayed at number two for a total of seven weeks before finally reaching the top spot.

It has been about five years since a K-pop genre album and its tracks simultaneously topped the two main Billboard charts, last achieved by BTS's album "BE" and its title track "Life Goes On" in 2020. It has been three years and six months since an OST simultaneously topped both charts, last done by "Encanto: The World of Magic" and its track "We Don't Talk About Bruno" in 2022.

Including "Golden," a total of four songs from the "K-Pop Demon Hunters" OST entered the top 10 on the "Hot 100." "Your Idol" ranked 4th, "Soda Pop" 5th, and "How It's Done" 8th. This further elevated the status of K-pop in the United States.

As the global popularity of K-pop continues to rise, the success of "K-Pop Demon Hunters" reflects the diversity of K-pop content and the overseas market's interest in it. This animation has received great acclaim not only from K-pop fans but also from the general public.

The global recognition of K-pop is further strengthened by achievements like these, and the development and spread of K-pop-related content are highly anticipated in the future. The OST of "K-Pop Demon Hunters" is regarded as an important milestone in the history of K-pop.
