Since its debut atop the chart in July 2025, the film’s music has defined the ranking. Now, for the first time, it no longer occupies both the No. 1 and No. 2 positions. Still, the cultural juggernaut continues its overall reign, as HUNTR/X’s hit track “Golden” once again claims the top spot on the February 2026 chart, marking a remarkable seven-month run at No. 1.
The chart, compiled using data from Tunefind (a Songtradr company) alongside streaming and sales figures tracked by Luminate, reflects a blend of soundtrack popularity and audience engagement. Typically focused on newly released films, the ranking has made an exception for KPop Demon Hunters, whose music continues to generate sustained interest well beyond its June 2025 premiere on Netflix.
At the center of this success is “Golden,” a standout track that previously spent eight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. Even months after its peak, the song remains a dominant force, never dropping below No. 9 throughout February. During the tracking period, it amassed 77 million on-demand U.S. streams and 13,000 downloads, while the film’s soundtrack maintained a steady presence in the top tier of the Billboard 200.
Despite this continued dominance, February marks a shift in the chart’s dynamics. Breaking the long-standing hold on the No. 2 position is “Zoo” by Shakira, featured in the animated sequel Zootopia 2. The track climbed from No. 3 to No. 2, powered by 26.7 million streams and 4,000 downloads. Its rise has been bolstered by the film’s home media release in late January, which renewed audience interest. The song has also made waves on the Hot 100, debuting at No. 77 and later peaking at No. 73 in March.
Elsewhere on the chart, new theatrical releases are making their presence felt. From Wuthering Heights, “Chains of Love” by Charli XCX debuts at No. 8, earning 12.6 million streams and 3,000 downloads. Meanwhile, Scream 7 contributes “Twisting the Knife” by Ice Nine Kills featuring Mckenna Grace, entering at No. 10 with 3.7 million streams.
Even with these new entries, KPop Demon Hunters continues to dominate the chart, placing seven songs within the top 10. Alongside “Golden,” tracks such as “Soda Pop,” “How It’s Done,” “What It Sounds Like,” “Your Idol,” “Takedown,” and “Free” underscore the soundtrack’s widespread appeal and staying power.
As fresh releases begin to gain traction, the months ahead may test the endurance of KPop Demon Hunters’ unprecedented run. For now, however, its soundtrack remains the defining force on the Top Movie Songs chart, blending global pop appeal with the lasting impact of a breakout film phenomenon.
