Taylor Swift holds the #13 spot on the latest Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Elizabeth Taylor,’ the second track on The Life of a Showgirl. The first four songs on the album remain in the top 20, suggesting enough people are interrupted in their listening to show diminishing returns for later tracks.
At #14 is a repeat of the fake band featured yesterday, KPop Demon Hunters‘ Saja Boys. While yesterday’s ‘Soda Pop’ was a straightforward song about young love, ‘Your Idol’ hints at the disguised demons’ true intent.
Unsuspecting fans hear the lines “watch me set your world on fire,” “I’m the only one who’ll love your sins,’ and “you gave me your heart, now I’m herе for your soul” without realizing they’re being seduced by evil beings. Ozzy Osbourne and Marilyn Manson have nothing on these guys.
While Saja Boys never reached #1 like HUNTR/X, they do have the distinction of landing two songs in the top five. This one peaked at #4.

내 황홀의 취해, you can’t look away (Hey)
No one is coming to save you
Now we runnin’ wild
You’re down on your knees, I’ma be your idol
I always find the smooth mingling of Korean and English in K-pop lyrics fascinating. If they weren’t printed, I really wouldn’t know that some of the words were Korean – I would just assume they were unintelligible English. I guess we’ve gone from Spanglish to Kanglish.
