"The Netflix animated film's title character, 'Gold', claims the top spot"
In the world of music, the animated musical series KPop Demon Hunters has made a significant impact in Germany. The show's soundtrack is currently the No. 1 album in the country, and two of its songs, "Golden" by Huntr/x and "Your Idol" by Saja Boys, are also charting high.
"Golden" by Huntr/x, performed by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, has been a global phenomenon. It has reached No. 1 on multiple charts worldwide and is currently at No. 1 on the album chart in Germany [1][2][3]. This strong presence indicates a significant following for the show in the country.
"Your Idol" by Saja Boys is also making waves, holding high positions such as No. 8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. This contributes to the overall success of the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack internationally, including Germany [2].
The soundtrack features several original songs performed under the fictional group names Huntr/x and Saja Boys. This collection of music has propelled the soundtrack to the top of the German album charts [1].
Meanwhile, in the single charts, US singer Reneé Rapp ('Bite Me') is at number four, German rapper Amo ('SSJ') is at number five, and Aymen and music producer Sira's collaboration "30 mal am Tag" is at number three. Aymen and Sira's collaboration spent a week at number one, and Alex Warren's hit "Ordinary" is at number two [4].
Interestingly, Pink Floyd founding member Roger Waters takes the number one spot with his live album 'Roger Waters: This Is Not A Drill - Live From Prague'. Rapper Gzuz's song "Scherbenhaus" dropped from number one to 15 last week, and Zartmann's song "Tau mich auf" is at number four on the single charts [5].
Kolja Goldstein's presumably final album 'Kouwe Ouwe' debuts at number three in the album charts, adding to the diverse mix of music currently dominating the charts in Germany.
