Jack Black's 'Steve's Lava Chicken' Hits UK Top 40, Breaks Chart Records

Jack Black's song 'Steve’s Lava Chicken,' from A Minecraft Movie, has made UK chart history by becoming the shortest song ever to enter the Top 40, peaking at number 21 and running just 34 seconds. The novelty track surpasses Black's previous chart successes, including 'Peaches' from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and breaks the record previously held by 'The Ladies’ Bras.' Black, who voices the character Steve in the film, expressed gratitude to Minecraft fans for the achievement through social media. The film itself has also been a box office hit, earning over $570 million globally and drawing large crowds of young fans to theaters. Despite mixed critical reception, both the movie and its soundtrack have found major commercial success. The popularity of 'Steve’s Lava Chicken' further cements Black’s influence in video game film soundtracks.
