Even more iconic? It’s the first Netflix soundtrack to hit No. 1 on the Soundtracks chart in over two years— since Stranger Things: Soundtrack from the Netflix Series, Season 4, re-entered atop the list dated November 19, 2022, making it a huge moment not just for K-pop fans, but for streaming-based film music altogether.
Streaming played a major role in this win: of 31,000 equivalent album units in the U.S., 27,000 were SEA units, equal to over 37 million on-demand streams. It also debuted at No. 10 on Top Streaming Albums and No. 18 on Top Album Sales, with another 3,000 coming from pure sales.
The only other soundtrack to make a dent in the Billboard 200 this year? Wicked, which debuted at No. 2 last December and remained in the top 10 for eight weeks—until now, it was the lone soundtrack holding that title for 2025.
Fans went wild for the release, which features original K-pop hits paired with an animated adventure full of high-stakes demon-slaying energy and girl group flair. The movie also scored a spot at No. 6 on Netflix’s Top 10 U.S. Movies the same week of its premiere.
With a killer combination of streaming stats, sales, and global K-fandom hype, KPop Demon Hunters proves it’s more than a movie—it’s a full-blown musical movement.
