In recent weeks, Jack Black’s catchy track “Steve’s Lava Chicken” has been steadily gaining traction on a global scale. Featured prominently in his film A Minecraft Movie, which has emerged as one of the most successful cinematic releases of 2025, the song initially captured the hearts of dedicated fans. However, it has since transcended its origins, evolving into a viral sensation. Within a matter of weeks, the track has ascended the charts, making significant strides in various important rankings.
“Steve’s Lava Chicken” Reaches the Top 10
This week, “Steve’s Lava Chicken” has firmly established itself beyond the film’s fanbase, making notable gains across multiple music charts in the United Kingdom. The track has successfully climbed into the top 10 on all four song rankings where it appears, showcasing its popularity through a combination of sales and streaming metrics.
- It has reached No. 8 on the Official Singles Downloads chart, marking its highest position among the rankings.
- The song has also improved to No. 9 on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles charts, the latter of which reflects overall consumption through a blend of streams and sales.
Jack Black Enters Streaming Chart’s Top Tier
In a noteworthy achievement, “Steve’s Lava Chicken” has just cracked the top tier of the Official Streaming chart, now sitting at No. 10. Previously, the track hovered just outside the top 10 across all four rankings. Although the ascent may not have required a vast leap, its newfound status as a top 10 hit is significant for the film, the song, and undoubtedly for Black himself.
Jack Black Earns His First Top 10s in the U.K.
This lively track, which runs a brisk 30 seconds, marks a milestone for Black, as it represents his first entry into the top 10 across all four rankings. While he has previously appeared on these charts, including a recent entry from The Super Mario Bros. movie, he had never achieved a top 10 position in terms of bestsellers, streaming, or overall popularity.
Even during his tenure with the comedy rock duo Tenacious D, Black had yet to break into the upper echelon of the charts. He came close last year with a cover of Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” featured in the latest installment of the Kung Fu Panda series, but fell short of the top 10 by mere spots on several sales tallies.
