‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Slays Again on the Top Movie Songs Chart

For the third month in a row, KPop Demon Hunters controls Billboard’s Top Movie Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), with music from the Netflix juggernaut ruling the top seven of the 10-position September 2025 tally.

Rankings for the Top Movie Songs chart are based on song and film data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of September 2025. The ranking generally includes newly released films from the preceding three months, with exceptions given to movies whose music is still experiencing a high volume of public interest.

That last part is key here: While KPop Demon Hunters was originally released on June 20, a date that might normally make it ineligible for the September 2025 Top Movie Songs chart, the film’s continued stranglehold on pop culture is difficult to ignore. In fact, its top dog, HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” reigned on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 for the entirety of September, a reign that began in August and continued into October; it ranks at No. 3 on the latest survey.

So it’ll be unsurprising that “Golden” is No. 1 on September 2025’s Top Movie Songs list, too. That month, the song accumulated 160.2 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 36,000 downloads, according to Luminate. While other songs from the soundtrack racked up sizable metrics, no other broke 100 million streams or even more than 15,000 downloads in that span.

It’s the third month at No. 1 for “Golden,” which initially debuted atop the July 2025 tally alongside other songs from the movie. Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” remains at No. 2 for a second month (it was No. 4 on the July list) as the top “Golden” competitor, earning 92.7 million streams and 14,000 downloads.

The sum-of-its-parts soundtrack even ruled the Billboard 200 for the first time in September, rising to No. 1 on the Sept. 20 ranking after six weeks in a row at No. 2. It’s since crowned the Oct. 11 chart, too.

All of which is to say: Don’t expect the KPop Demon Hunters dominance to wane on Top Movie Songs anytime soon.

After holding down the top seven, the remainder of the September 2025 tally features music from Gabby’s Dollhouse, Weapons and The Wrong Paris. The former leads at No. 8 thanks to its synch of ROSE and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” (29.9 million streams, 5,000 downloads), a No. 3 hit on the Hot 100 in February.
