Jack Black's ‘Minecraft' Single 'Steve's Lava Chicken' Debuts Inside The Top 10

Jack Black is rising higher and higher on the charts all around the world week after week with a brand new smash — one few could have seen coming. The singer and actor is lifting steadily across a handful of Billboard rankings this frame thanks to a tune pulled from one of 2025's biggest box office hits. A Minecraft Movie has quickly become one of the highest-grossing films of the year globally, and now its standout song, 'Steve's Lava Chicken,' helps Black notch another win.
'Steve's Lava Chicken' makes an immediate mark on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart this frame. The track, performed by Black himself, debuts at No. 6 on Billboard's list of the bestselling rock-only tracks in the U.S. The strong start shows just how much fans are loving not only the film, but its playful musical moments as well.
Despite its impressive entrance, 'Steve's Lava Chicken' isn't the highest-ranking new arrival on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart. This frame, Ghost's 'Lachryma' and Lana Del Rey's 'Henry, Come On' both manage even loftier starts, entering at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively. Still, Black comes in close behind, landing just ahead of Hardy's 'Buck on the Wall' at No. 7 and Fontaines D.C.'s 'Starburster,' which bows at No. 8.
The arrival of 'Steve's Lava Chicken' represents an important milestone for Black, as it's his first solo appearance on the Rock Digital Song Sales ranking. As one-half of the Grammy-winning duo Tenacious D, he's previously hit this tally, but only once. In March 2024, the band's cheeky cover of Britney Spears's "...Baby One More Time" debuted at No. 1. Now, just a little over a year later, he's back, and this time, he's flying solo.
While its big debut on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart is impressive, 'Steve's Lava Chicken' is also present on other Billboard tallies as well. The A Minecraft Movie smash jumps from No. 21 to No. 14 on the Hot Rock Songs list, and it also ascends from No. 27 to No. 19 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs tally. Those are new peaks for the title, which is reaches in just its second stint on the rosters.

27 Torrid Items To Reinvent Your Style This Summer

A denim trucker jacket because every season deserves a tried and true staple that goes with literally everything. But, don't get it twisted. Every denim jacket isn't just a replica of another. This one features a trucker jacket silhouette and a distressed hem to set it apart from the others. Promising review: "I received this jacket in the mail yesterday and I like it. I feel like to could be styled with dresses, jeans and trousers depending on the look you are trying to achieve. IMO, the fit is true to size. Also, in my opinion, there is not a lot of stretch. I ordered a 2 and that's what i normally order in shirts, jackets and blazers. The sleeves hit right at the wrist. My favorite part of the jacket is the raw hem at the bottom. I will probably also purchase the darker denim. I would recommend." —Lovin All Things DenimPrice: $41.94 (originally $69.90; available in sizes M–6X and two colors) A sleeveless mini dress featuring pockets that reviewers can't stop raving about. They love the knit fabric and the smoothing effect the dress gives. They say it's great for every occasion because it can be dressed up or down. Bonus: It comes in many colors. Promising reviews: "Love the new colors! I can't help but buy these dresses! These dresses always fit and look good. Can't go wrong." —CJS8082"Comfortable Fit! Love how the flare lays around my belly area. I bought several more colors in this because I'm in love with these! Used this Black one with my Western Torrid Boots for a Mexican Festival 🥳 and got so many compliments 🥰🙌🏻❤️ All I had to do was accessorize it. The stretch and length were a blessing all night long 😍. Love Love Love This Style! Thank you, My Fabulous Torrid!!!!! ❤️🙌🏻" —LaPalomaDelValle95601Price: $20+ (originally $55.90; available in sizes M–6X and six colors) A corset tank with a knit fabric that holds you close for a somewhat bodycon effect. Did I mention the tie straps? If you've got an occasion on the books and are rummaging for something to wear, this corset tank combo will always stop the show. And that matching skirt you're eyeing, you can get it right here. Promising review: "Bought this in a two and I'm so happy I did! It's snug on the fit as you'd expect for a corset tank. It's stupid cute! I paired it with a skirt bought from Torrid years ago, and it looks amazing with it. This shirt looks amazing with everything I've tried it with so far, may end up buying it in more colors, I love it that much, the color I did buy was black." —I_love_milk_dudsPrice: $21.54 (originally $35.90; available in sizes M–6X and three colors) A triangle swim top, that's wire-free for your comfort, with matching high-waisted cheeky bottom, ready to ensure you stay photo-ready at the next pool party, even if you never take a dip.

The color and the shape of the product work really well, and I'm so happy that I found the design pattern I absolutely love. I would totally recommend this product." —Anonymous"Big girl, big fun! Great fit for the summer sun. The waist and cup sizes are just the right fit. Gives support. Looks good wet or dry." —AnonymousPrice: $35.94 for the top (originally $59.90; available in sizes L–6X and three styles) and 20+ for the bottoms (originally $44.90; available in sizes M–6X and nine styles) A leopard sarong ideal for weekend getaways when multipurpose clothing reigns supreme. You can wear it as a skirt or a dress for a barely-there garment on the hottest of days. Promising review: "So, I purchased this in leopard print. And thought it was cute. I have never found a sarong that fits well. I got this and omg! It fits so well in both styles, the dress style and the sarong style. this will be my go-to this summer, I am so glad I bought it!" —theedarkcrystalPrice: $14.95 (originally $29.90; also available in two other colors) A button front overall set on upgrading your usual farmhouse chic attire. These overalls aren't rough like other denim; they're softer for added comfort. And, the haltered top adds a little sauciness that you don't get from traditional overalls. Promising reviews: "These are so dang cute and comfortable! I've never had a pair of overalls that weren't too short in the rise. These are terrific!" —QueenKarin"Total score. I love a good pair of bibs. The ties are awesome and the back is not like farmer bibs. I did get an 18 for more room. I get so many compliments every time I wear them.
