The original soundtrack album for Netflix’s animated hit KPop Demon Hunters has maintained its position at number two on the Billboard 200 for a third consecutive week, marking its eighteenth straight week on the chart. According to Billboard’s latest preview, the soundtrack continues to trail pop icon Taylor Swift’s 'The Life of a Showgirl,' which has remained at number one for three consecutive weeks. The album’s enduring popularity highlights sustained global interest in the film’s music.
During the most recent tracking week, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack earned 96,000 album units, reflecting a modest eight percent decline from the previous week. Earlier this month, the soundtrack reached number one on the Billboard 200 for the second time in its chart history, demonstrating its recurring commercial strength. Analysts note that despite Taylor Swift’s dominance, the soundtrack continues to attract a dedicated audience. Seems like KPop Demon Hunters are chasing success as if they were demons, even recreating Taylor Swift's Eras tour magic.
It is quite impressive for an animated movie's soundtrack to rival the music of a popstar like Taylor Swift, but that is not the only feat that KPop Demon Hunters has broken.

Platinum-certified in the United States and amassing more than seven billion global streams, the music demonstrated that the creations of fiction could command attention as fiercely as reality, blurring boundaries in a most delightful way.
