KPOP Demon Hunters Takes Over Netflix and Music Charts Worldwide
Netflix’s latest animated movie KPOP Demon Hunters has taken over both the charts and the internet just weeks after its release on June 20. The movie has quickly become a fan-favorite for K‑Pop lovers and animation fans, combining catchy music with an action-packed storyline.
The fictional soundtrack from the film, featuring songs by characters Rumi, Mira, Zoey, and the popular in-movie groups HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys, has made history on the charts. It debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200 and quickly shot to number 3 the following week. This makes it the highest-ranking animated soundtrack since Barbie, with millions of streams pouring in across platforms.
On top of that, the album climbed to number 1 on the Billboard Soundtrack chart, while also dominating Apple Music and iTunes charts worldwide. Fans across Europe, Asia, and the Americas have been streaming the songs non-stop.
Your Idol, performed by the fictional Saja Boys, has become the highest-charting song by a male K‑Pop act on Spotify’s U.S. chart, even outperforming groups like BTS. Golden, a track by HUNTR/X, landed at number 3 on the same chart, tying the record for the best position by a female K‑Pop group, alongside Blackpink.
Other songs like How It’s Done, Takedown, Free, and Soda Pop also made their way into Spotify’s U.S. Top 100. The track Golden alone has gathered over 7 million streams and secured spots on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Global 200.
Nigerian singer BNXN has made a claim online that has generated mixed reactions. The singer stated that living in Lagos is more expensive than living in Los Angeles, drawing from his personal experience in the United States.
Speaking about life abroad, BNXN explained that there are fewer financial obligations and requests for money compared to Nigeria, where people are often expected to support relatives and acquaintances.
“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money. Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles),” BNXN stated.
It can be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against Blessing CEO over an alleged ₦13 million fraud case.
The case is reportedly linked to claims that the influencer obtained ₦13 million through an alleged cancer-related fundraising scheme.
It can also be recalled that Blessing CEO previously claimed she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer, a revelation that drew sympathy from many people and reportedly led to financial support from members of the public.
While investigations are still ongoing, the influencer remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James celebrated her 31st birthday and shared pictures on social media with her daughter.
The influencer spoke about how her life has changed and described motherhood as the greatest gift she has received.
“A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age… It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER! This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body.”
“Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.”
