Record-Breaking Tune from the Blocky Universe
A whimsical melody titled Steve’s Lava Chicken, featured in the animated film A Minecraft Movie, has made waves in the music industry by securing its place as the shortest song to ever grace the UK singles charts. Performed by the multi-talented Jack Black, the track soared to number 21 on the Official Charts Company list this past Friday.
Clocking in at a mere 34 seconds, Steve’s Lava Chicken has officially dethroned the previous record holder, The Ladies’ Bras by Jonny Trunk & Wisbey, which had a running time of 36 seconds and peaked at number 27 back in 2007.
In a heartfelt video shared on social media, Black expressed his gratitude for the song’s unexpected success, stating, “I just heard that Steve’s Lava Chicken has cracked the UK top 40. I want to send big love to all the Minecraft fans for getting us up there.” His enthusiasm reflects not only his appreciation for the fans but also the unique intersection of gaming culture and music that this song represents.
This delightful achievement highlights the growing influence of video game franchises in mainstream entertainment, showcasing how even the most unconventional tracks can capture the public’s imagination and achieve commercial success.
