The soundtrack for Netflix's popular animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" has successfully maintained its No. 2 position on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the fifth consecutive week. According to Billboard's preview released on Sunday, the album continues to hold strong against fierce competition in the music industry.

Taylor Swift's latest studio album "The Life of a Showgirl" currently occupies the top spot, keeping the "KPop Demon Hunters" soundtrack in second place. Despite this, the animated film's soundtrack has demonstrated remarkable staying power, remaining on the prestigious chart for an impressive 20 weeks total. The album previously achieved the No. 1 position twice before Swift's release claimed the top ranking.

The Billboard 200 chart measures album popularity across the United States using a comprehensive system that tracks equivalent album units. This metric combines physical album sales, individual track sales converted to album equivalents, and streaming data converted to album equivalents, providing a complete picture of an album's commercial performance.

During the most recent tracking week, the "KPop Demon Hunters" soundtrack generated 84,000 equivalent album units. This represents only a modest 1 percent decline from the previous week's performance, indicating sustained consumer interest and consistent streaming activity. The relatively small decrease demonstrates the soundtrack's enduring appeal among listeners.

The soundtrack's success extends beyond commercial performance, as it has garnered significant recognition from the music industry's most prestigious awards ceremony. The album secured five nominations for the upcoming 68th Grammy Awards, which are scheduled to take place in February. Most notably, the standout track "Golden" received a nomination in the highly competitive Song of the Year category, highlighting the quality and impact of the music featured in the animated film.
