For the second month in a row, the top three of Billboard‘s Top Movie Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), consists of music from two of the biggest animated films of 2025: KPop Demon Hunters and Zootopia 2.

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 January 2026. The ranking generally includes newly released films from the preceding three months, with exceptions given to movies whose music is still experiencing a high volume of public interest.

Yet again, KPop Demon Hunters remains part of the Top Movie Songs chart via continued sizable streaming and sales metrics for its soundtrack, led as ever by HUNTR/X’s “Golden” at No. 1 for the seventh month in a row.

“Golden,” which topped the weekly Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks in mid-2025, returned to the chart’s top 10 after the 2025 holiday season at No. 2 and remained within the top four for the entirety of January. It earned 99.4 million official on-demand U.S. streams in January 2026, plus 23,000 song downloads, according to Luminate.

Seven songs from the movie’s soundtrack (a two-week No. 1 on the Billboard 200) appear on the latest Top Movie Songs list, with “Golden” followed by Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” at No. 2 (40.6 million streams, 5,000 downloads).

The non-KPop Demon Hunters song in the top three is Shakira’s “Zoo,” from Zootopia 2, for the second straight month. On the strength of 31.8 million streams and 6,000 downloads in January 2026, the song jumped onto the Hot 100 at No. 77 (Jan. 10), following in the footsteps of the original film’s “Try Everything,” also by Shakira, that peaked at No. 63 in 2016.

Miley Cyrus’ “Dream As One” is the lone Top Movie Songs debut of the month, bowing at No. 10 following the release of its parent film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, on Dec. 19. Cyrus’ song scored 15.9 million streams and sold 1,000 downloads.

Elvis Presley‘s Las Vegas residency was a historic moment for the showman. Held at the International Hotel, later the Las Vegas Hilton and now the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, Presley played a recordbreaking 636 consecutive sold-out shows there between 1969 and 1976. It is estimated that he performed for approximately 2.5 million people during his stint, generating roughly $43.7 million in ticket sales at the time.

“That show was hugely successful [and] introduced rock ‘n’ roll to the big Vegas stage,” said Richard Zoglin, author of Elvis in Vegas. The residency occurred at a later stage of Presley’s career, ending just a year before he died in 1977.

Like many, we assume our readers weren’t there to see Presley perform in Vegas. Hell, most people weren’t even alive to witness his greatness. If you weren’t able to see the “Burning Love” singer during his residency, lucky for you, director Baz Luhrmann has brought footage of the star’s shining achievement back to theaters this year with his new documentary titled EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert.

The documentary gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at Presley’s Vegas stint with never-before-seen footage. Tickets to the documentary are available now on Fandango. Pricing varies depending on your location and chosen theater. The film’s soundtrack features a combination of updated remixes of signature live recordings alongside new remixes and medleys of classic songs from Presley, including Jamieson Shaw remixes of “In the Ghetto” and “Love Me” and a PNAU remix of “Don’t Fly Away.”

Luhrmann is quite familiar with the life and work of Presley. Back in 2022, the director released a biopic titled Elvis, starring Austin Butler as Presley and Tom Hanks as his infamous manager and tour promoter, Colonel Tom Parker. The biopic dove into Presley’s early life, sharing the star’s rise to fame and the little-known inspiration he took from African American artists like Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup and Big Mama Thornton that directly inspired his work, a la “Hound Dog,” going forward.

According to a release, during the making of his 2022 biopic, Luhrmann and his team found a treasure trove of long-hidden film negatives and footage in the Warner Brothers vault from the Elvis docs Elvis: The Way It Is from 1970 and Elvis On Tour from 1972 in addition to never-before-seen 8mm footage and never-before-heard audio of Elvis musing about his life. All of this inspired Luhrmann to self-fund and create this documentary.

Neil Sedaka, the legendary singer known for hits such as the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s “Bad Blood,” “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do” and “Laughter in the Rain” died, his rep confirmed.

“Our family is devastated by the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Neil Sedaka,” a family statement shared with Variety said. “A true rock n’ roll legend, an inspiration to millions, but most importantly, at least to those of us who were lucky enough to know him, an incredible human being who will be deeply missed.”

The news comes after TMZ reported earlier in the day that the Grammy-nominated musician had been rushed to a Los Angeles hospital, with a family source telling the outlet that Sedaka was feeling unwell in the morning.

The singer-songwriter — who was born March 13, 1939, in Brooklyn, N.Y. — began his career while he was still a teen in the 1950s, becoming one of the world’s first teen pop stars. He would go on to form The Tokens, a doo-wop group, before meeting his neighbor Howard Greenfield, who would become his songwriting partner. According to Sedaka’s biography, their partnership would go on to sell 40 million records in just the four years between 1959 and 1964.

During his career as a recording artist, Sedaka landed the previously mentioned three No. 1s on the Hot 100. In all, he had 30 songs reach the chart, with nine of them becoming top 10 hits. Eleven of his albums made the all-genre Billboard 200, with 1975’s The Hungry Years reaching No. 16 — his peak on the chart — in December the year it was released. He debuted a total of 11 albums on the tally.

In April 2024, Sedaka partnered with Primary Wave to acquire a stake to the masters and publishing rights of his catalog. As Billboard exclusively reported at the time, the deal included his entire catalog — encompassing everything he wrote, performed and penned for others.

In addition to his five Grammy nods, Sedaka was also celebrated and recognized for his work throughout his career. He was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award and Special International Award from The Ivors, and more.

Sedaka also made many TV appearances. He was one of Saturday Night Live‘s first musical guests, and also appeared as a guest judge on American Idol when it was still on Fox.

The celebrated musician is survived by his wife, Leba — whom he married in 1962 — daughter Dara, son Marc, and three grandchildren.

Lil Jon’s son, Nathan Smith, died earlier in February at the age of 27. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office revealed in a statement to Billboard on Friday (Feb. 27) that Smith’s cause of death was the result of drowning.

The medical examiner listed Smith’s death as a “drowning in the setting of psilocybin use,” while the manner of his passing has been ruled an accident.

Psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, is a chemical in some types of mushrooms that “can cause people to experience distorted sights and sounds and lose their sense of time and space,” according to the National Institutes of Health. However, as the NIH notes, the National Institute of Drug Abuse is one of several of the federal agency’s partners that also supports research into whether or not psilocybin could potentially work to treat substance abuse as well as mental health issues.

Smith, who produced under the alias DJ Young Slade, was reported missing on Feb. 3, and was discovered by authorities on Feb. 6 in a Georgia pond near his residence.

“On Feb. 6, 2026, at approximately 11:53 a.m., divers with the Cherokee County Fire Department located and recovered a body from the pond,” a statement from the Milton Police Department’s Facebook account that day read. “The individual is believed to be Nathan Smith, pending official confirmation by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.”

Lil Jon expressed the devastation he felt at the loss of his son, an NYU graduate, in a statement to Billboard earlier in February.

“I am extremely heartbroken for the tragic loss of my son, Nathan Smith,” the Atlanta native shared at the time. “His mother and I are devastated. Nathan was the kindest human being you would ever meet. He was immensely caring, thoughtful, polite, passionate, and warmhearted — he loved his family and the friends in his life to the fullest.”

He continued: “We loved Nathan with all of our hearts and are incredibly proud of him. He was loved and appreciated, and in our last times together we’re comforted in knowing that we expressed that very sentiment to him.”

Lil Jon penned a heartfelt tribute to his late son with a post to Instagram on Feb. 19 featuring a slideshow of photos with Nathan, and revealed he had been laid to rest.

Nathan was the only son of Lil Jon and his estranged wife, Nicole Smith, who were married for 18 years before separating in 2022. The crunk pioneer also shares a 1-year-old daughter with his current girlfriend, Jamila Sozahdah.
