LOS ANGELES — From magical realism to a neat magic trick: All eight songs Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote for "Encanto" made the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time.
"We can pause to acknowledge how insane that is," said Miranda in a Los Angeles Times interview.
In an era when box-office numbers can't be relied on to measure a film's success, "Encanto" is dominating the charts — the music charts. The soundtrack just logged its seventh week at No. 1 on the album chart, making it one of only six soundtracks to do so in the last 30 years, according to Billboard. Five songs have reached the Top 40. Oh, and one — "Dos Oruguitas" — has topped the Latin Streaming Songs chart for five weeks and was nominated for an Oscar.
