Jack Black Has A New Biggest Hit Single

Jack Black is on one of the best winning streaks of any entertainer in Hollywood at the moment. This year, his A Minecraft Movie is already one of the biggest successes at the box office, and it is far from done bringing in money. In addition to the film itself, the soundtrack is performing well, especially its standout tune, which has become not just a breakout from the project, but an actual hit. The track continues to rise week after week on rankings around the world and has now become a career high point for the sometimes-actor, sometimes-musician.

“Steve’s Lava Chicken” Pushes North on Four U.K. Charts

“Steve’s Lava Chicken,” which is featured prominently throughout A Minecraft Movie, appears on four charts in the U.K. this week. It climbs on each and every one of them — in some instances, by just a few spots and in other cases, by leaps and bounds. In fact, on one tally, it surges by more than 50 spaces, pushing past half of all the titles on that list as it becomes a true bestseller.

Jack Black Scores Another Smash

Black’s comedic “Steve’s Lava Chicken” is now a top 20 hit on all four of the rankings on which it appears. It rises highest on the Official Singles chart, which is the most important and competitive songs tally in the country. On that list, it jumps from No. 21 to No. 11, and next week, it may very well become one of the 10 most popular tunes in the nation. It also sits close to the upper region on the Official Singles Downloads chart (No. 13), as well as both the Official Singles Sales and Official Streaming rankings (No. 14 on each).

“Steve’s Lava Chicken” Becomes Jack Black’s Biggest Hit

Black has only scored two solo hits on all four of these charts. He first reached the rankings in mid-2023 with “Peaches.” That tune followed a similar path as “Steve’s Lava Chicken,” as both were featured in largely animated Hollywood blockbusters that star the actor. As recently as a few days ago, “Peaches” was still ahead of “Steve’s Lava Chicken” in terms of peak position on at least one roster — but now the newer cut has become Black’s highest-rising win on each and every tally.

A Minecraft Movie Continues to Dominate the Box Office

A Minecraft Movie has already brought in more than $800 million at the global box office. It’s the second highest-grossing film of 2025, though it trails the leader, Ne Zha 2, by a full billion dollars. Still, it’s far ahead of the third-biggest success, Captain America: A Brave New World, which earned a little more than $400 million during its run.
