Meanwhile, the soundtrack for ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ has broken a major record, landing four top 10 singles simultaneously, a feat no soundtrack has ever achieved before. The album is poised to take the No. 1 spot soon, fueled by strong streaming numbers and the recent release of a sing-along edition.
