The Contenders is a midweek column that looks at artists aiming for the top of the Billboard charts, and the strategies behind their efforts. This week, for the upcoming Billboard Hot 100 dated Aug. 30, we look at the still-rising KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack and how many songs it might chart in the top 10 this week.

The soundtrack's standout track becomes the first single by an all-women collective in 24 years to top the chart, following Destiny's Child in 2001.

The singer-songwriter, who trained to be a K-pop idol before transitioning to songwriting, is finally getting her much-deserved moment in the spotlight thanks to the success of the Netflix animated film and its soundtrack.
