If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Netflix, I hope you have profusely thanked directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, along with everyone else who worked on KPop Demon Hunters — a glittery, candy-colored spectacle of an animated gem that's not only one of the best original movies the streamer has released in years, but also a ratings smash hit for the streamer. The movie, about a fictional K-pop girl group that hunts demons, is so big that it's actually dominated the Netflix global Top 10 movies chart for an entire month now, while its soundtrack has likewise taken the Billboard charts by storm. This week, in fact, Billboard reported that the soundtrack has climbed to #2 on the Billboard 200, while seven of its tracks (led by 'Golden,' from the movie's fictional K-pop girl group HUNTR/X) are currently on the Billboard Hot 100. Today's Top Deals XGIMI Prime Day deals feature the new MoGo 4 and up to 42% off smart projectors Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Long story short: If anything could be said to have attained the status of pop culture conversation-starter of the summer, it's this Netflix standout — which, by the way, is also on track to become the most-watched Netflix animated movie ever. In terms of the latest data on the movie from Netflix, as noted above, it's now spent four weeks on the streamer's global Top 10 English-language movies chart. It racked up another 24.2 million views for the 7-day period that ended on July 13, it's a Top 10 Netflix movie in 93 countries this week — and it's actually the #1 movie in 26 countries, including Canada, the UK, and more. KPop Demon Hunters comes from the same studio behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Netflix's The Mitchells vs. The Machines, and the movie's central characters are a trio of K-pop megastars named Rumi, Mira, and Zoey who dominate the charts by day and hunt demons at night. Their rivals are The Saja Boys, a seductive boy band made up of heartthrobs that are also literal demons. In terms of some of its other achievements, the movie has managed to achieve a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes critics' score as of this writing (96%) as well as an audience score that's in the same ballpark (91%). 'I'm a 45 year old dad and watched this with my two girls,' one YouTube commenter raved earlier this month. 'I cried like the fan dudes in the film. I guess it's never too late to become a K-pop fan.' The best thing about the movie, for me, is that it was clearly made by people who have a genuine affection for K-pop. And that love shines through in every detail, from the character designs to the soundtrack, making K-Pop Demon Hunters feel, instead of just another Netflix release, more like a love letter in celebration of K-pop's energy, spirit, and global impact.

‘KPop Demon Hunters' Is Doing Things On The Netflix Top 10 List We've Never Seen
KPop Demon Hunters Just when you think you've seen it all, a bunch of girls singing songs slay demons singing other songs and everyone loses their minds. Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters is the streaming success story of the summer, not just because of its viewership, but because of what it's done in the music industry, of all places. Sure, we've seen songs and soundtracks perform well, but this is a film that has spit out #1 hits and KPop records from boy and girl groups who are…entirely fictional. The movie's HUNTR/X took away records from Blackpink. The Saja Boys beat out BTS. Just astonishing stuff, and we are still seeing tracks reach new highs far after release. The movie itself? Just as impressive. KPop Demon Hunters has been out for just under a month and it has rarely left the top two spots in the US Netflix Top 10 list, and most of the time it's been #1. Netflix I've watched this for weeks now, and what happens is that a big new movie will come along with a splash, hit #1, then a day or two later fall down the list and there's KPop Demon Hunters in the top spot again. Just browsing now, former #1 The Old Guard 2 is down to #5 while past contenders have fallen away entirely. Currently, the new Tyler Perry Madea movie has dropped at #1, so KPop is at #2, but it stands to reason this exact some scenario may play out yet again. KPop Demon Hunters may not get the overall consecutive #1 record. Films like Carry-On and Don't Look Up have it beat. But in terms of pure stamina, you rarely see films like this stay this high, and if they do come along and get dethroned, don't fall down the list, manage to rise back up and take #1 again over and over and over. And it just hasn't stopped as we now approach a month after release. The question now is what happens from here, other than millions and millions more streams of these songs. The obvious answer is a sequel, but I fully believe Netflix now views this as a 'universe' already. A sequel, two, a prequel, a spin-off, a TV series, a live-action adaptation. Okay well, none of those have been announced, but I'll be damned if we don't get two or three of them. I'm not sure if I need to say this explicitly but yes, watch KPop Demon Hunters. You don't need to be a teenage girl. You don't need to like KPop. You need to like good movies and…well okay you need to like KPop a little bit. Or maybe this will serve as your gateway.

Kendrick Lamar Beats His Competition With More Top 10s Than Any Other Act
Kendrick Lamar places three songs inside the U.K.'s Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles top 10, ... More including 'All the Stars,' 'Not Like Us,' and 'Luther.' Kendrick Lamar at the BET Awards 2025 held at the Peacock Theater on June 09, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Billboard via Getty Images) Kendrick Lamar is having another massive week on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart in the U.K., which ranks the bestselling tunes that touch either of those genres. This time around, he stands alone, as he claims a trio of smashes inside the uppermost region — something no other artist currently manages. Kendrick Lamar's Trio of Top 10 Hits Lamar is the only musician with three hits present inside the top 10 on the current edition of the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. "All the Stars," one of his collaborations with SZA, is his highest-ranking win, as it sits at No. 7. That's an impressive placement, considering it's the oldest of the bunch. "Not Like Us" rises one spot to No. 8, while "Luther," another song with SZA, returns to the region as it ascends from No. 11 to No. 10. 'Not Like Us,' 'All the Stars' and 'Luther' Both "Not Like Us" and "All the Stars" have already spent well over a year on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. "Luther" hasn't yet had that chance, but the collaboration will likely become another year-long winner for both SZA and Lamar once enough time has passed. It's currently up to 32 frames on the tally as it finds its way back inside the top 10. SZA and Skye Newman's Pair of Top 10s Two artists trail Lamar with a pair of top 10s apiece. SZA does so thanks to her work with her longtime friend, while newcomer Skye Newman sits in the runner-up spot with "Family Matters" while "Hairdresser" makes a home at No. 4. The Weeknd and Chris Brown Join Kendrick Lamar Looking at the full 40 spaces on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart, four acts see a trio of tunes take up space. Lamar and SZA are joined by The Weeknd and Chris Brown, who also manage the feat at the moment. Neither The Weeknd nor Brown appear inside the top 10, though both sit just a few spaces beneath the uppermost tier.

'Give the award to me first': Marcus Chin says suspense in Star Awards' top 10 popularity awards is bad for his weak heart, Entertainment News
Local DJ-host Marcus Chin made a special request to the Star Awards team after bagging his fifth Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes Award last evening (July 6): Please take into consideration his weak heart. Speaking to local media including AsiaOne backstage after the ceremony, the 70-year-old shared: "I wasn't confident about winning this year, especially since our radio show didn't win [Best Radio Programme] also. "We had won for four consecutive years, but The Shuang, Kunz and Jia Trio won this year, so I was quite dejected already and thought this could perhaps be a sign that I wouldn't win Top 10." Marcus hosts Love 972's radio show The Breakfast Quartet with DJs Mark Lee, Dennis Chew and Chen Biyu on weekdays. The team won Best Radio Programme for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024. The Shuang, Kunz and Jia Trio is a radio show hosted by Yes 933 DJs Kenneth Chung, Hazelle Teo and Chen Qijia. Marcus expressed his appreciation for his family, friends and fans who voted for him. He added: "I still have five more times to win [before achieving the All-Time Favourite Artiste award]. I had a heart attack on Oct 7 last year. I hope if I still win next year, give the award to me first and not let me wait six, seven or eight in line, because I could really feel my heart rate increasing as I was waiting to be called." Marcus was the seventh artiste to be announced as a Top 10 recipient last evening. As he went onstage, he got a selfie with veteran Hong Kong actor Chow Yun Fat, 70, who presented the award. Romeo Tan receives final Top 10 trophy after 15 years in showbiz Besides Marcus, the other recipients for the category are Yes 933 DJ Jeff Goh, as well as actors Xu Bin, Benjamin Tan, Zong Zijie, Desmond Tan, Richie Koh, Guo Liang, Jeremy Chan and Romeo Tan, with the latter clinching his 10th award after 15 years in showbiz. This means he will receive the All-Time Favourite Artiste award in the next Star Awards ceremony. Romeo, 40, who had to cut his speech short during the show, said backstage: "I definitely want to thank my family, relatives and friends, thank you for voting for me every year. I also want to thank myself. I started as an audience member, became a small-time actor and later a full-time actor. "To be able to stand on stage now and receive my 10th Top 10 award to become an All-Time Favourite Artiste, it's quite an unbelievable journey for me. I am really happy that I still have a group of people who support me and thank you to the audience for liking my shows." View this post on Instagram A post shared by R O M E O T A N (@romeotan) Guo Liang felt 'rollercoaster' of emotions throughout the evening Veteran host Guo Liang, who received a hug from Yun Fat as he received his ninth Top 10 trophy, shared that his "emotions were like a rollercoaster" throughout the show. The 54-year-old, who debuted in local showbiz in 1994, said: "I was anxious at first, as many of my friends and family have supported me and I hoped to win. While hosting the show, I was awestruck by Yun Fat... "Then disappointment hit me when I saw those who had already received the All-Time Favourite Artiste award. Most artistes from my batch had already reached that status and I believed that [I haven't] because I didn't do well enough. "When I finally received the Top 10 award tonight, it was nothing but pure joy and elation. Such an experience is not great... For my last win, please help me out everyone." Star Awards 2025 is now available on Mewatch. [[nid:719895]] No part of this article can be reproduced without permission from AsiaOne.

Italian Cocciaretto stuns Pegula in big Wimbledon upset
LONDON :Fresh off a title in Bad Homburg and tipped for a deep run at Wimbledon, world number three Jessica Pegula crashed out in the first round on Tuesday, stunned 6-2 6-3 by unheralded Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto. It was a meek surrender from Pegula, who looked subdued from the start on Court Two. She landed only half her first serves, struck a mere five winners and sprayed 24 unforced errors in a display more tentative than tenacious. Cocciaretto, meanwhile, kept her composure and her smile. The world number 116 was rock-solid throughout, breaking the American four times and exacting revenge for her straight-sets defeat at Wimbledon two years ago. It marked only the second top-10 win of Cocciaretto's career, but was thoroughly deserved.
