Jack Black's 'Steve's Lava Chicken' Sets UK Chart Record as Shortest Hit

Jack Black's 'Steve’s Lava Chicken,' featured in A Minecraft Movie, has made UK chart history by becoming the shortest ever Top 40 single at just 34 seconds long, entering the charts at number 21. The track, performed by Black's character Steve, surpasses the previous record held by a 36-second song and marks Black's highest solo charting single in the UK, eclipsing his earlier hit 'Peaches' from The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The song's quirky lyrics and viral popularity have resonated with Minecraft fans, prompting Black to thank them in a celebratory video. The film itself, which stars Black alongside Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Coolidge, has been a global box office success and sparked discussions of a potential sequel. While the song and film have achieved commercial success and inspired social media trends, they have also drawn criticism for disruptive behavior in cinemas. Director Jared Hess has indicated enthusiasm for exploring more of the Minecraft universe in future installments.
