Saja Boys & HUNTR/X from ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ are (very amusingly) now the highest-charting male & female K-pop groups in US Spotify history

Normally I don’t post about chart accomplishments because … well, who cares? But the thing is, K-pop fans care a lot, perhaps more than anything, and certainly more than the music or just enjoying life, in general.

So, it’s with great pleasure I’m here to announce that two fictional groups in Saja Boys and HUNTR/X are now the highest-charting K-pop groups in US Spotify history, surpassing BTS and BLACKPINK. Those groups stem from K-Pop Demon Hunters, which is also clearing.

KPop Demon Hunters is currently the most streamed movie on Netflix globally, clocking up more than 33 million views in just two weeks.
On Friday the song Your Idol by a boy band in the film, Saja Boys, topped the US Spotify chart. This makes them the highest charting male K-pop group in US Spotify history – surpassing kings of K-pop BTS.
Golden, a track by the film’s fictional girl group Huntr/x, hit number two on the chart, surpassing Blackpink as the highest-charting female K-pop group.
The film’s soundtrack shot into the top 10 of the Billboard 200 in the US, making it the highest debut for a soundtrack so far this year.

K-pop fandoms and companies basing their identity on accomplishments like this only to get undone by two fictional groups is just very funny, you have to admit.

Also, I love that the voices of both groups are not any huge K-pop idols. They have the talent, though, and given enough of a chance through a platform, marketing, and style, they have now bested the rest of K-pop. If you were a normal person, that might cause one to reflect and realize how popular groups are not all that way necessarily because they themselves are better or they have better output than nugus, but alas, the ones who need to hear it won’t care.

The more popular songs also sorta rip, which is additionally funny cause they are heavily-melodic and/or dramatic and ambitious instead of just sorta flat and vibey in an attempt to cater to the big tent, and what do you know? People seem to love that shit from K-pop.

If the industry tries to replicate the songs of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', the movie just might pull K-pop up by the bootstraps, lol.

Anyway, good times, good times.
