SEOUL, October 14 (AJP) - The soundtrack of Netflix's hit South Korean anime "KPop Demon Hunters" slipped one spot from the top on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart this week.

According to the U.S. music chart on Monday, the soundtrack was overtaken by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's new album, ending its streak at the top for the 10th consecutive week after spending several weeks in the top five.

Billboard said Swift topped the chart "in record-breaking fashion with the debut of 'The Life of a Showgirl,'" her 15th No. 1 album, becoming the "sole act with the second-most No. 1s" after English rock band The Beatles' 19 No. 1s, since the chart began compiling weekly rankings in 1956.

The chart ranks the "most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units."
