KPop Demon Hunters Holds #1 Spot for 63 Consecutive Weeks

KPop Demon Hunters has maintained the top position on the Billboard Soundtracks Chart for 63 straight weeks, setting a new record for the longest consecutive weekly reign at the summit. This achievement marks the first time such a duration has been reached since the chart was introduced on June 30, 2001.

KPop Demon Hunters spent a total of 67 weeks on the chart, with it holding the number one spot during 63 of those weeks. The remaining four weeks were topped by Weeked: For Good, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Watering Horses, and the soundtrack for this year’s highly anticipated TV miniseries, Heated Rebellion.

This record is based on Billboard’s Soundtracks Chart that has been in use since June 30, 2001, and it excludes iconic blockbuster soundtracks from the 1960s such as West Side Story, The Sound of Music, Daughter of Jubao, Satellite Night Fever, and Purple Rain. However, A Charlie Brown Christmas, a TV soundtrack released in 1965, is included due to its performance on charts after 2001.

This accomplishment ranks as one of five longest-running number one singles by an animated film soundtrack. Out of the total 12 such entries, 10 are film soundtracks while 2 are TV soundtracks. Billboard officially documented this record under the title “Sets New Record for Most Weeks at No. 1 on Billboard Soundtracks Chart.”
