SEOUL, Sept. 16 -- The soundtrack for Netflix's animated hit KPop Demon Hunters has climbed to the top of the US Billboard 200 albums chart, becoming the first animation soundtrack in more than three years to reach No. 1.

According to Billboard's preview released yesterday (US time), the album rose one spot to take first place in its 12th week, overtaking Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend.

The record also secured the distinction of topping both the Billboard 200 and the Hot 100, with its track Golden leading the singles chart for four straight weeks, according to Yonhap news agency.

Billboard noted the achievement marks the first time an animated film soundtrack has led the Billboard 200 since Disney's Encanto in 2022.
