The drought is officially over. By entering the Billboard 200 at No. 8, KPop Demon Hunters becomes the highest-charting soundtrack since Wicked ranked No. 8 on the chart dated Jan. 25, on its way down from its No. 2 peak.

The t-shirts and other items are currently on a cargo ship to Tangiers, Morocco, where they’ll be upcycled at Hallotex, a globally known textile manufacturer focused on sustainability…
