KPop Demon Hunters<\/a> has smashed yet another all-time record as awards season begins to heat up. The animated fantasy musical, which follows demon-hunting girl group Huntr\/x facing off against the demonic boy band Saja Boys, is officially Netflix’s most-watched movie of all time, having garnered more than 325 million views in its first 91 days on the streaming platform.<\/p>\n

The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack<\/a> has also broken numerous records, including the original song “Golden” becoming the first song by a KPop girl group (real or fictional) to hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Additionally, the movie’s soundtrack became the first to ever have four songs in the Top 10 simultaneously, namely Huntr\/x’s “Golden” and “How It’s Done” alongside Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol.”<\/p>\n

The nominations for the 2026 Grammys<\/a> have now been officially announced, contributing to the movie’s seemingly unstoppable run of broken records. The song “Golden” was nominated in four categories, specifically Best Pop Duo\/Group Performance, Best Remixed Recording, Best Song Written For Visual Media, and the coveted Song of the Year.<\/p>\n

The original song from KPop Demon Hunters<\/a> is competing in the latter category against popular tracks from real-life artists, including Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild,” Ros\u00e9 and Bruno Mars’ “APT.,” Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “luther,” and Billie Eilish’s “WILDFLOWER.”<\/p>\n

The song, which is also widely considered to be a frontrunner for the Best Original Song Oscar down the line, has broken the record for the most Grammy nominations that a KPop girl group has ever earned. In fact, this year marks the first time that any KPop girl group has ever been nominated for a Grammy.<\/p>\n

The only KPop group to ever be nominated for a Grammy before 2025 was the boy band BTS, which received five nominations between 2021 and 2023.<\/p>\n

This year, the KPop-inspired global group Katseye was also nominated for two awards (Best Pop Duo\/Group Performance for “Gabriela” and Best New Artist). While Katseye’s connection to the genre is debated, Huntr\/x still maintains their record by earning two times more nominations.<\/p>\n

Additionally, KPop Demon Hunters itself was nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media. This brings its complete number of nominations to five.<\/p>\n

This Grammys record could be just the opening salvo of a long streak of success for Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters<\/a> during the 2025-2026 awards season. The movie, which is eligible for both the Best Original Song and Best Animated Feature Oscars, still has a long road ahead of it, but this early record is a good sign for its momentum heading into the season.<\/p>\n
