Netflix's ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Soundtrack Has a Big Week on the Billboard Canadian Charts

Multiple songs from the new show are charting on the Canadian Hot 100, while the album debuts in the top 10 of the Canadian Albums chart.

K-pop is having a big week on the Billboard Canada charts from an unexpected source.

The new Netflix animated musical fantasy KPop Demon Hunters has multiple debuts on the Canadian Hot 100, dated July 5. “Golden” at No. 63, “How It’s Done” at No. 79, and “What It Sounds Like” at No. 95.

Fronted by fictional girl group HUNTR/X, the real artists behind the fantastical songs are K-pop artists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami. While “Golden” and “How It’s Done” lean into the bubblegum K-pop sound, “What It Sounds Like” leads with a downtempo ballad that moves into a punchy, upbeat moment.
