For the sixth week in a row, the ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ soundtrack reigns supreme on the ARIA Charts, making history alongside Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Short N’ Sweet’ as the longest-reigning collection in 2025. This Netflix animated musical’s global hit “Golden” continues to dominate the ARIA Singles Chart, with six tracks from the soundtrack in the top 10, solidifying its position as the biggest chart-topper from an animated movie since 1983.
‘KPop Demon Hunters’ follows an all-female K-pop group, Huntr/x, who are not only music sensations but also secret guardians of the world. Fans can’t seem to get enough of this record-breaking soundtrack, surpassing the success of past animated movie soundtracks like ‘Trolls’ and ‘Frozen.’
HOYTS is set to exclusively screen the ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters: Sing-Along Version’ in cinemas across Australia and New Zealand, adding to the frenzy surrounding this cultural phenomenon. The OST’s continued success pushes Conan Gray’s ‘Wishbone’ to the second spot on the charts, marking the US artist’s third top 10 album in Australia.
Further down the list, Jordan Davis achieves a career high with ‘Learn The Hard Way’ debuting at No. 9, hinting at a possible Australian tour in 2026. Australian deathcore act Justice For The Damned also makes waves with their third top 40 appearance, while Mama Kin Spender enters the charts at No. 20 with ‘Promises.’
Meanwhile, Hilltop Hoods maintain their presence on the charts as ‘Fall From The Light’ holds steady despite slipping to No. 36. The ARIA Singles Chart sees Crowded House’s classic hit “Don’t Dream It’s Over” making a resurgence, following its inclusion in triple j’s hottest 100 of Australian songs, securing the No. 38 spot.
As the music industry continues to evolve, the ARIA Charts reflect the dynamic landscape of music consumption and fan preferences.
