Gurenge is Demon Slayers opening and was released in April 22 last year. Since then it has been streamed over 100 million times worldwide and surpassed 750k downloads. Physical cd sold 100k copies. Despite being released over year ago, the song is still clinging on HOT animation charts.

Msg from LiSA: "
"One year has passed since the broadcast of the TV anime 'Kimetsu no Yaiba' and the digital release of 'Gurenge.' I am very happy that the song has been loved by many people for a long time along with the anime. May Gurenge continue to bloom and flourish in the hearts of Tanjiro and other characters who have shown us that they can live strong despite being hurt and those who wish to be strong. Thank you very much."

I had no idea some of these were so popular. But if we look at another digimon here, Uchiage Hanabi is still clinging on despite being released 2017!

I'm surprised at the Smile Down the Runway song, although I haven't heard it yet lmao. It just didn't seem like the anime was that talked about except by the people that watch like 8 series per season.

It’s what queen Gurenge deserves

Into the Unknown lmao, still in the rankings
