Songs from the film have become highly streamed on Spotify, with "Golden" reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The soundtrack includes contributions from K-pop industry veterans. A sing-along version in cinemas helped it reach number one at the US box office and was later released worldwide on Netflix.
Since its release in June, the film has been watched more than 236 million times, overtaking the action comedy Red Notice to take the top spot. It is the latest in a series of chart-topping achievements by the film which has become a surprise global hit. Songs from the movie have also been some of the most streamed online on Spotify, while the track Golden hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month.
But the biggest attraction for many has been the movie's catchy K-pop songs. Some of the soundtrack's producers and songwriters are K-pop industry veterans who have worked with groups such as BTS and Twice. Maggie Kang, the Korean-Canadian co-director of the film, previously said that they had wanted the film's music to be "really incredible and really speak to the K-pop fans and be legitimately fit into the K-pop space".
