Jack Black’s Minecraft Chicken Song Sets New Billboard Charts Record

The Minecraft Movie, featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, was recently released to theaters, receiving mixed reviews from audiences. Despite the impressive visuals of the film, it was criticized for being a dull adventure, exacerbated by Jack Black’s over-the-top performance. One of the notable aspects of the movie was the inclusion of several songs, with many being forgettable except for one particular track about hot chicken, which surprisingly became a hit.

The song, titled “Steve’s Lava Chicken,” made headlines when it charted on the Billboard Hot 100 list, debuting at number 78. What made this achievement remarkable was the fact that the song is only 34 seconds long, setting a new record for the shortest track to ever appear on the prestigious chart. Previously, the record was held by Kid Cudi’s “Beautiful Trip,” a 37-second track released in 2020.

Not only did “Steve’s Lava Chicken” make it onto the Hot 100 list, but it also managed to break into the top 10 on the Hot Rock Songs chart. Jack Black, known for his musical endeavors in film adaptations of video games like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, had another successful song with “Peaches,” which reached number 56 on the Hot 100 list in April 2023. The success of “Peaches” raises the question of whether “Steve’s Lava Chicken” can surpass its predecessor, though it may be unlikely given the former’s popularity and impact.

While the Minecraft Movie may not have received the most favorable reviews, the song “Steve’s Lava Chicken” has garnered its own level of success, proving to be a standout track from the film. As audiences enjoy the catchy tunes and humorous lyrics, it remains to be seen how far this quirky song can climb on the music charts. With its unique charm and brevity, “Steve’s Lava Chicken” has certainly left a mark on the music industry and further solidified Jack Black’s reputation as a versatile and entertaining performer.
