Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters has achieved a milestone that cements its place in both music and film history. The animated film’s soundtrack has become the first ever to generate four simultaneous top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
On this week’s chart, HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done” climbed from No. 14 to No. 10, marking the group’s second Hot 100 top 10 following their breakout single “Golden.” Meanwhile, Saja Boys — the rival group featured in KPop Demon Hunters — continued their strong run. Their track “Your Idol” held steady at No. 4, while “Soda Pop” surged from No. 10 to No. 5.

This achievement places the soundtrack in rare company. The last film to deliver at least four Hot 100 top 10s was Waiting to Exhale, which reeled off a record five between 1995 and 1996. Before that, only a handful of cultural landmarks reached the same milestone: Saturday Night Fever in 1977–78, Grease in 1978, and Prince’s Purple Rain in 1984–85.
Adding to the accomplishment, for the first time since April 1978, a soundtrack has managed to place three songs in the Hot 100’s top five simultaneously. Then, it was the Bee Gees-led Saturday Night Fever with “Night Fever” (No. 1), “Stayin’ Alive” (No. 2), and Yvonne Elliman’s “If I Can’t Have You” (No. 5). Now, in 2025, “Golden,” “Your Idol,” and “Soda Pop” carry that legacy forward, solidifying KPop Demon Hunters as a cultural phenomenon that bridges film and music history.
