SEOUL, July 05 (AJP) - A track from "KPop Demon Hunters," a new Netflix animated film inspired by the K-pop industry, has topped the music charts in the United States.
Global streaming platform Spotify said Friday that "Your Idol," performed by the film’s fictional boy band Lion Boyz, ranked No. 1 on its Daily Top Songs chart in the United States. It is the fourth K-pop track to top the chart, following Jungkook’s "Seven," Jimin’s "Who," and BLACKPINK’s Rosé with "APT."
Other songs from the soundtrack also placed high, with Golden and How It’s Done by the girl group Huntress landing at No. 2 and No. 8, respectively, and Soda Pop by Lion Boyz coming in at No. 10.
