Will the K-Pop megahit take the lead? We'll soon see.
KPop Demon Hunters has slayed on Billboard’s Top Soundtracks chart, having led the list for 55 weeks – just seven weeks shy of the record. This chart was introduced a little more than 25 years ago – on June 30, 2001 – which means it doesn’t include blockbuster soundtracks of previous eras, including West Side Story, The Sound of Music, Doctor Zhivago, Saturday Night Fever and Purple Rain.
Actually, it does include one – The Vince Guaraldi Trio’s 1965 TV soundtrack, A Charlie Brown Christmas – but only because of its chart success since 2001.
KPop Demon Hunters has been No. 1 for all but four of its 59 weeks on Top Soundtracks, having yielded for one week each to Wicked: For Good, the holiday perennial A Charlie Brown Christmas, Charli xcx’s Wuthering Heights and the soundtrack to this year’s most-talked about TV miniseries, Heated Rivalry.

With KPop Demon Hunters likely to set a new record for the most weeks at No. 1 on Top Soundtracks, we thought it would be a good time to look at the 12 soundtracks that have led the chart for 25 weeks or more.
The list includes two TV soundtracks and 10 film soundtracks. Notably, the five soundtracks with the most weeks at No. 1 are all from animated films.
Here are the 12 soundtracks that have logged the most weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Soundtracks chart since the chart was introduced on June 30, 2001. The number in each header is the number of weeks the album has spent at No.
Singles: “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” (Luke Combs).
Notes: This soundtrack made No. 3 on Top Country Albums. Combs’ recording of “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” reached No. 3 on Hot Country Songs and No. 13 on the Hot 100.
