KPop Demon Hunters fever Golden secures third week at the top

The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack sits at number one on the Official Compilations Chart for the ninth straight week, with 27 million streams this week across its tracks. Two songs from the soundtrack are in the Top 3 and five are in the Top 40. Saja Boys have two entries in the Top 3, including a peak inside the Top 6. TWICE also score new peaks with Takedown at 31 and Strategy at 35.

Disco Lines and No Broke Boys reach a new high together, with No Broke Boys landing at number 2. Olivia Dean makes a milestone by placing three tracks in the Top 20, led by Man I Need at 8 and Nice to Each Other at 9. Sam Fender's Rein Me In hits 11, while Lady Lady enters the Top 40 at 38 as her first UK arena tour is announced. BLACKPINK rebound with JUMP to 22 after last weekend's Wembley gigs. wgft by Gunna and Burna Boy rises to 34, their first Top 40 entry, and Pierce the Veil's So Far So Fake climbs to 46 outside the Top 40 as the viral dance trend continues.

This week shows how soundtracks are moving from background scores to front and center in the UK charts. The momentum is powered by cross border collaborations and live events that convert streams into a visible chart lead. The Wembley gigs by BLACKPINK illustrate how live moments translate into online traction, and viral dances keep tracks in circulation even when radio airplay is limited. The result is a week where a soundtrack becomes a single force behind broad listening patterns.

There are signs of a longer term shift as more British artists reach higher top 20 positions, underscoring a healthy domestic scene feeding into a global wave. While momentum can falter if the next week does not deliver, the pattern suggests a new normal where soundtracks and cross genre collabs push listening ecosystems to move faster. Maintain the watch on whether this momentum settles into sustainable growth or peaks and fades quickly.
