Music from KPop Demon Hunters rules Billboard‘s Top Movie Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), yet again, but songs not featured in the Netflix hit make the slightest of inroads on the November 2025 list.

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 September 2025. 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.

Said public interest has continued for KPop Demon Hunters, as breakout hit “Golden” by HUNTR/X spent the entirety of November at No. 2 on the weekly Billboard Hot 100, a stat that very much explains its standing at No. 1 on November 2025’s Top Movie Songs chart.

In November, the track earned 117.9 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 24,000 downloads, according to Luminate. The singing voices of HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI) even performed the song during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 27.

KPop Demon Hunters has been a force on Top Movie Songs since July, following its June 20 premiere. But while the film has more recently held the entire top seven of the 10-position chart, November sees a minute shift, as it instead occupies the top six, as well as seven of the top eight.

The interloper is Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s Wicked: For Good centerpiece “For Good,” which bows at No. 7 following the movie’s Nov. 21 premiere. Even via a partial month of tracking, “For Good” racked up 14.3 million streams and 8,000 downloads.

More activity for Wicked: For Good is possible on the December 2025 ranking following the movie’s first full month of release.

Kylie Minogue has received the most coveted gift of the year as her song “XMAS” takes the U.K.’s Official Chart’s Christmas No. 1 Single for 2025 on the list dated Dec. 19.

Awarded on the final Friday before Christmas Day, the prize is highly sought-after among artists; this is the first time that Minogue has achieved the feat as a soloist. (She appeared on 1989’s No. 1 “Do They Know its Christmas?” as a singer for Band Aid II.)

“XMAS” features as an Amazon Music exclusive on the newly reissued edition of Kylie Christmas, first released in 2015, alongside three other new songs. The LP took the top spot on the Official Albums Chart on Dec. 12. 

The No. 1 gives Kylie her first U.K. chart-topping single since 2003’s “Slow” and is her eighth No. 1 overall. She also becomes the first female artist to boast U.K. No. 1 singles across four different decades (’80s, ’90s, ’00s, ’20s), joining Elton John, Elvis and Queen with the total; Cliff Richard boasts chart-toppers across five decades.

She knocks off Wham!’s “Last Christmas” from the top spot (down one spot to No. 2 week-on-week), with the pop duo holding the Christmas No. 1 single title for the past two years. In the overall leader boards, Wham! is tied with Queen on two No. 1s, behind the Spice Girls with three, The Beatles with four and the current record-holders, LadBaby, with a whopping five. The latter, the moniker for YouTube influencer Mark Hoyle, holds the record for number of Christmas chart-toppers with five different songs hitting No. 1 between 2018 and 2022.

Speaking to the Official Charts Company, Minogue said, “It’s hard to put into words how special this feels. Being Christmas No. 1 really is the most wonderful gift! I’m so thankful to everyone who’s been listening and sharing the love and I’m wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!”    

Festive classics populate the remainder of the top five, with Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” at No. 3 and Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” at No. 4. Together for Palestine, a charity group raising funds for urgent humanitarian care in Gaza, sees its song “Lullaby” break into No. 5. 

Surprise, surprise: A new season of Stranger Things equals a strong showing on Billboard’s Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), with multiple songs dotting the November 2025 tally, led again by Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God).”

Rankings for the Top TV Songs chart are based on song and show 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 November 2025.

“Running Up That Hill” previously reigned on the Top TV Songs rankings in May and June 2022, buoyed by its synch in season four of Stranger Things. That needle drop led to the 1985 track returning to multiple weekly Billboard charts that spring and summer, driving it all the way to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated July 30, 2022.

With the premiere of the first four episode of Stranger Things’ fifth season, its final edition, on Nov. 26, “Running Up That Hill” makes a comeback after multiple appearances in the season so far. That drives it back to No. 1 on Top TV Songs thanks to 14.2 million official on-demand U.S. streams earned and 3,000 downloads sold in November 2025, according to Luminate.

Concurrently, “Running Up That Hill” returned to the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart dated Dec. 6 at No. 15 and rose to No. 8 the following week.

In all, Stranger Things accounts for seven of the Top TV Songs chart’s 10 positions for November. The others aren’t repeats like “Running Up That Hill,” led by Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now,” which bows at No. 2 (4.9 million streams, 1,000 downloads) 38 years after the song reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1987.

Music from Stranger Things should also figure heavily into the December 2025 tally; three more episodes air on Dec. 25, followed by the series finale on Dec. 31.

The other three songs that reach the latest Top TV Songs survey are from three different series (though two are from the same creator, Taylor Sheridan). Tulsa King is the highest non-Stranger Things entry thanks to Five Finger Death Punch’s cover of Bad Company’s “Bad Company” (4.5 million streams, 1,000 downloads), followed by Wet Leg’s “mangetout” from Heated Rivalry (No. 6; 1.5 million streams, 1,000 downloads) and Benjamin Tod’s “Wyoming” from Landman (No. 8; 364,000 streams, 1,000 downloads).

ENHYPEN are gearing up to take fans in a dark direction in 2026. The seven-man K-pop boy band dropped the album teaser for their upcoming seventh mini album on Friday morning (Dec. 19) giving their ENGENE fan base some spooky visuals to dissect over the holidays in advance of the Jan. 16 release of THE SIN : VANISH.

The 50-second trailer is filled with ominous images of members JUNGWON, HEESEUNG, JAY, JAKE, SUNGHOON, SUNOO and NI-KI running from an unseen terror, as well as shots of the septet enjoying fun meals and laughs. But hanging over all of that is the image of a sky full of bats, a message of doom amplified by the caption on the YouTube video: “Vampire is coming.”

According to a release, the project marks the group’s “most direct exploration yet of the vampire mythology that has defined their ongoing narrative universe.” The follow-up to June’s sixth mini album, DESIRE : UNLEASH, is described as centering on a forbidden escape story of lovers who “break an absolute taboo in a world where humans and vampires coexist. Designed as a ‘concept album,’ it adopts the format of a fictional investigative broadcast program, which revisits an unresolved case within vampire society from a third-party perspective. To heighten immersion, the album incorporates narration and skits alongside the music, creating the sensation of tuning into an actual investigative program — an unconventional and bold approach to album storytelling.”

The moodily shot clip opens with the singers dressed all in black laying on their backs in what looks like sparkly sand as a throbbing electronic beat bubbles up and we see them sprinting through alleyways, a dark cave and the city streets at night as they glance back at a shadowy menace. A brief moment of joy as they share some refreshments and hang out in their casual gear at a diner meal gives way to more apparent peril, including fleeting glimpses of the singer’s faces bearing scars and cuts.

And then come the bats. So many bats.

The flurry of night fliers gives way to a shadowy image of one of the men getting staked through the chest with long knife and a bulletin board with “missing” flyers of the group offering a reward for their return. The final shot finds the group slow walking towards a strobing void as the screen fades to back and reads: “The Story Begins,” along with a seeming tease of what the release said was the “next chapter of the story,” due out on Monday (Dec. 22).

Jerry Ragovoy, a prolific songwriter and producer whose gospel-infused soul compositions shaped some of the most enduring music of the 1960s, is the latest songwriter to be posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Ragovoy, who died in 2011 at age 80, was honored during an intimate ceremony held on Dec. 16 in New York City.

While the annual SHOF gala in June does not usually include posthumous inductions, the organization has hit upon the idea of hosting inductions for writers voted in posthumously at unique venues and events. This is the sixth posthumous induction in less than two years — and the third just this month — following Cindy Walker in May 2024, Prince in July 2024, Bert Berns in September 2025, Hugo & Luigi on Dec. 9 and Donna Summer on Dec. 15.

Ragovoy’s best-known song is probably “Piece of My Heart,” which he cowrote with Bert Berns, who, as noted, was inducted into the SHOF posthumously in September. The song has been a Billboard Hot 100 hit five times, for Erma Franklin, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Sammy Hagar, Shaggy, and Melissa Etheridge and Joss Stone. The song appeared on Big Brother’s album Cheap Thrills, which topped the Billboard 200 for two weeks in 1968. In 2005, when Janis Joplin received a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy, Etheridge and Stone performed a medley of it and “Cry Baby,” another Ragovoy-Berns song that Joplin had recorded, on the Grammy telecast. That live performance reached No. 32 on the Hot 100.

Ragovoy’s emotionally raw songwriting resonated with Joplin, whose recordings of his songs became some of the defining works of her career. Ragovoy cowrote “Try (Just a Little Bit Harder),” which appeared on Joplin’s first solo album, I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama! He cowrote three of the 10 songs on Joplin’s second solo album Pearl, which topped the Billboard 200 for nine weeks in 1971. He cowrote “Cry Baby” with Bert Berns and cowrote “My Baby” and “Get It While You Can” with Mort Shuman.

“Cry Baby” was originally recorded by Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters. Their version reached No. 4 on the Hot 100 in October 1963.

Ragovoy wrote “Time Is on My Side,” which Irma Thomas recorded in 1964 and which The Rolling Stones covered that year. Their version became their first top 10 hit on the Hot 100, reaching No. 6 in December 1964.

He cowrote the Afro-pop dance song “Pata Pata” with Miriam Makeba; the song reached No. 12 on the Hot 100 in November 1967 and was voted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2019.

Some of Ragovoy’s other best-known songs are “Ain’t Nobody Home,” “A Wonderful Dream,” “Stay with Me” and “I’m Gonna Rock My Way to Heaven.”

Ragovoy founded the New York recording studio The Hit Factory in 1969, producing and arranging artists such as Dionne Warwick and Bonnie Raitt before selling it in 1975.

In 2008, Ace Records released a compilation album, The Jerry Ragovoy Story: Time Is on My Side.

Ironically, Ragovoy’s only Grammy Award was as a producer, not a songwriter. In 1973, he won best score from an original cast show album as the producer of Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope, which was composed by Micki Grant.
