Jack Black's A Minecraft Movie Song Just Set A Billboard Record
Earlier this week, A Minecraft Movie reached another milestone when it hit $800 million worldwide, which is almost twice as much as this year's second-highest grossing film, Captain America: Brave New World. Now, Jack Black's song from A Minecraft Movie is charting on Billboard's Hot 100, and it just set a record too.Steve's Lava Chicken song, as performed by Black in the film, entered the Billboard list at No. 78. By pulling off that feat, Black's 34-second jingle is now the shortest song to ever chart on Billboard. In the context of the movie, Steve (Black) spontaneously breaks out into the song as he demonstrates what happens when chickens are combined with hot lava to become a tasty treat. This isn't Black's first video game movie tune to make the list. Peaches--Black's breakout song from The Super Mario Bros. Movie--arrived on Billboard's Hot 100 at No. 83. That was the first time Black ever charted as a solo artist, as his prior appearance on the list was with his Tenacious D partner, Kyle Glass. Given Black's success with these video game tunes, perhaps Borderlands should have had his character, Claptrap, singing a song as well.Continue Reading at GameSpot
