SEOUL, July 23 (Yonhap) -- The original soundtrack (OST) of Netflix’s popular animated film "K-Pop Demon Hunters" has continued its impressive run on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, with eight tracks simultaneously entering the chart for the second consecutive week.

 

According to the latest chart released on Tuesday (local time), “Golden” — performed by the fictional girl group HUNTRIX featured in the animation — ranked No. 4, leading the OST’s strong showing on the Billboard Hot 100.

 

"Golden," which debuted at No. 81 on the chart earlier this month, quickly climbed the ranks to place 23rd, then 6th, and now 4th, showcasing its growing popularity.

 

"Your Idol," a song by the boy group Lion Boys — HUNTRIX’s rivals in the film — rose two spots from the previous week to reach No. 14, marking its fourth straight week on the chart.

 

Other tracks that made the Hot 100 include “How It’s Done” by HUNTRIX at No. 23, and “Soda Pop” by Lion Boys at No. 25. The duet “Free,” performed by HUNTRIX’s Lumi and Lion Boys’ Jinwoo, came in at No. 41, followed by HUNTRIX’s “What It Sounds Like” at No. 43.
