You’re not seeing double: For the first time since Billboard’s Top Movie Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), began last October, the entirety of the 10-position chart comprises the ranking from one month to the next.
‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Smash ‘Golden’ Earns 8th Week as U.K. No. 1 Song, Ties an All-Time Record
HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden,’ From ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ Conquers Billboard Global Charts for 10th Week
HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden’ Tops Hot 100 for Sixth Week, the Most for a Soundtrack Hit in 10 Years
After taking up eight of the July 2025 tally’s 10 positions, music from KPop Demon Hunters keeps those same eight songs on the August survey, while the other two songs from last month — both from Superman — also stay on the list.
Rankings for the Top Movie Songs chart are based on song and film data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of August 2025. The ranking includes newly released films from the preceding three months.
Though its makeup remains the same, the August Top TV Songs list’s order is a bit different. Though don’t tell that to HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” which tops the chart for the second month. The Netflix film’s runaway hit that’s spent six weeks so far atop the Billboard Hot 100 since mid-August accumulated 163.4 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 36,000 downloads throughout August, according to Luminate, as KPop Demon Hunters, released June 20, became an ever-growing phenomenon, even spurring a limited theatrical singalong release in late August.
Ultimately, Top TV Songs’ top seven is occupied by KPop Demon Hunters songs. But while Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” ranked at No. 2 on the July survey, it’s the same boyband’s “Soda Pop” that takes the runner-up spot for August (91.1 million streams, 14,000 solds), while HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done,” No. 6 on the previous list, vaults to No. 3 (85.6 million streams, 11,000 sold).
As for the two songs from Superman, which premiered in theaters July 11, the film is represented again by Teddybears’ Iggy Pop-featuring “Punkrocker” and Noah and the Whale’s “5 Years Time,” at Nos. 8 and 10, respectively.
“Punkrocker,” which racked up 10.1 million streams and 4,000 paid downloads in August, recently reached Billboard’s Alternative Digital Song Sales chart, sparked by its Superman synch, including two weeks at No. 1 (July 26 and Aug. 2).
