AP-Yonhap <\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Korean American singer-songwriter EJAE, who performed songs for the Netflix animation sensation &#8220;KPop Demon Hunters,&#8221; was the most-streamed K-pop artist in the United States last year, according to data recently released by U.S. entertainment data company Luminate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">EJAE recorded about 2.1 billion on-demand streams, a figure combining audio and video plays, in 2025, topping all K-pop acts in the U.S. market, Luminate said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">On-demand streams count how many times listeners choose and play specific tracks or videos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Huntr\/x, the in-film girl group whose songs were partly performed by EJAE, ranked second with 1.8 billion streams. It was followed by boy band Stray Kids in third place with 1.2 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The film&#8217;s fictional boy group Saja Boys took fifth place with 921 million streams, while K-pop supergroup BTS, set to make a full-group comeback this month, placed tenth with 892 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Luminate said eight of the 10 most-streamed K-pop acts were artists or groups connected to the film&#8217;s original soundtrack, underscoring the film&#8217;s global reach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The company noted that the success of &#8220;KPop Demon Hunters&#8221; illustrated the K-pop industry&#8217;s evolution over the past decade, adding that despite the movie being produced in the United States and outside of the industry, both the film and its soundtrack achieved standout results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EJAE poses for a portrait during the 98th Academy Awards Oscar nominees luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":513468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216],"class_list":["post-513467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
