If you’ve recently watched A Minecraft Movie in theaters, you likely recall Jack Black’s catchy, brief tune about the lava chicken scene midway through the film.

Black, portraying Steve, performs the 34-second Lava Chicken song as Jason Momoa and others witness a chicken sizzling in falling lava. Despite its brevity, the track has exploded across social media platforms.

Now, Steve’s Lava Chicken has landed at No. 21 on the UK’s official singles chart, marking it as the shortest song ever to chart. “Streaming and viral trends are redefining what makes a hit,” said ERA, the UK’s digital entertainment and retail association.

Black is no stranger to chart-topping video game songs. His 95-second ballad to Princess Peach, titled “Peaches” (sung and co-written by Black) from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, reached the Billboard Hot 100, marking his first solo chart entry. He previously hit No. 78 in 2006 with “The Pick of Destiny” as part of Tenacious D.

Other brief tracks to chart include the 2007 Simpsons Movie song Spider Pig (64 seconds) and Liam Lynch’s 2002 punk anthem United States of Whatever (86 seconds).

Lava Chicken isn’t the only viral sensation from A Minecraft Movie. Clips of exuberant moviegoers have spread rapidly on platforms like TikTok, with some fans even bringing live chickens to screenings.
