For the second month in a row, Jack Black‘s “Steve’s Lava Chicken” – featured in A Minecraft Movie – tops Billboard’s Top Movie Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), remaining at No. 1 on the May 2025 survey.
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 May 2025. The ranking includes newly released films from the preceding three months.
“Steve’s Lava Chicken,” which became the shortest song ever to reach the Billboard Hot 100 upon its debut on the May 3-dated list, rose to prominence as part of the soundtrack of the Minecraft film, which premiered in theaters on April 4.
In May 2025, the tune earned 29.6 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 4,000 downloads, according to Luminate. It appeared on the Hot 100 for three weeks, paced by its peak of No. 78 May 3, and ranks at No. 25 on the latest Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart (June 28).
“Steve’s Lava Chicken” holds off a new challenger on the ranking in Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising,” which bows at No. 2 after being heard in Final Destination Bloodlines. The latest movie in the Final Destination franchise premiered May 16.
“Bad Moon Rising” peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 in June 1969. It racked up 10.7 million streams and 1,000 downloads in May 2025 amid the release of the film, which also features synchs from acts like Johnny Cash, Kelly Clarkson and The Isley Brothers.
Thunderbolts* and Lilo & Stitch, both released in May as well, fill out the remainder of the top four, via Starship’s “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” and a redo of “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” by Iam Tongi and the Kamehameha Schools Children’s Chorus, respectively.
The 10-position chart includes 10 songs from 10 different movies, the first time that’s happened since the ranking’s inception last September.
