By Jack Dunn, Variety | Jack Black’s “Minecraft Movie” meme jam “Steve’s Lava Chicken” has become the shortest song to ever enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Steve’s Lava Chicken,’ which clocks in at a mere 34 seconds, debuted at No. 78 on the Hot 100. The song also reached No. 10 on the Hot Rock Songs chart. According to online data tracker Luminate [formerly known as Sound Exchange] (per Billboard), the tune has achieved 7 million total streams in the United States between April 18 and April 24.
