\n\tSaja Boys<\/a> weren\u2019t the only animated singers in HUNTR\/X<\/a>\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

\n\tHUNTR\/X, the heroic trio in Netflix\u2019s smash<\/a> film KPop Demon Hunters, claims a fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> with \u201cGolden\u201d \u2014 which becomes the sole longest-leading hit by an animated act in the chart\u2019s 67-year history. Two previous cartoon tunes each reigned for four weeks: The Archies, with \u201cSugar, Sugar\u201d in 1969, and the Chipmunks with David Seville, with \u201cThe Chipmunk Song\u201d over the 1958 holiday season.<\/p>\n

\n\tUpon the original<\/a> ascent to No. 1 for \u201cGolden,\u201d HUNTR\/X \u2014 the IRL singing trio of EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI (in the roles of the movie\u2019s characters Rumi, Mira and Zoey) \u2014 became the first female group associated with Korean pop to crown the Hot 100.<\/p>\n

\n\tKPop Demon Hunters has also become the first soundtrack to generate four simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s<\/a> over the chart\u2019s archives. The songs place in the bracket for a fourth week, with Saja Boys<\/a>\u2019 \u201cYour Idol\u201d and \u201cSoda Pop\u201d each up a spot to return to their respective Nos. 4 and 5 bests and HUNTR\/X\u2019s \u201cHow It\u2019s Done\u201d lifting one place to a new No. 8 high.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, KPop Demon Hunters charts three songs in the Hot 100\u2019s top five simultaneously for a third week. It surpasses the only other soundtrack that spun off three concurrent top five hits: For two weeks (April 8 and 15, 1978), three Saturday Night Fever songs were all in the top five: Bee Gees\u2019 \u201cNight Fever\u201d and \u201cStayin\u2019 Alive\u201d and Yvonne Eliiman\u2019s Bee Gees-penned \u201cIf I Can\u2019t Have You\u201d (at Nos. 1, 2 and 5, respectively).<\/p>\n

\n\tAs previously reported, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack slashes its way to its first week at No. 1<\/a> on the Billboard 200<\/a> chart. Thanks to the set and \u201cGolden,\u201d a soundtrack and one of its songs lead the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, respectively, for the first time since the charts dated March 5, 2022, when Encanto and its ensemble anthem \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk About Bruno\u201d wrapped five weeks doubly dominating. (KPop Demon Hunters and Encanto are the only animated films to earn such honors. Plus, per the categorization of animated acts at No. 1 on the Hot 100, HUNTR\/X, the Archies and the Chipmunks are self-contained acts, whereas characters in Encanto joined to sing \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk About Bruno,\u201d with billing given to their real-life names, not their roles in the film.)<\/p>\n
