The chart-topping sensation "Golden" from Netflix's animated film "K-pop Demon Hunters" has dropped from the number one position on the British Official Singles Chart Top 100 after maintaining the top spot for seven consecutive weeks. The song was displaced by Olivia Dean's "Man I Need," which had been steadily climbing the charts from its previous second-place position held for five straight weeks.
"Golden" is performed by Korean American artists Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, who voice the fictional girl group Huntr/x in the Netflix animated feature. The song initially entered the British charts at a modest 93rd position but quickly gained momentum to become a streaming phenomenon. Over its chart run, "Golden" has spent a total of eight weeks at number one, including the recent seven-week consecutive streak, and has maintained its presence in the top 10 for an impressive 12 consecutive weeks.
The success of "Golden" extends beyond the UK market, as the track has also dominated the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 main singles chart for seven weeks. This cross-Atlantic success demonstrates the global appeal of the "K-pop Demon Hunters" soundtrack and its ability to resonate with international audiences across different music markets.
Other tracks from the "K-pop Demon Hunters" soundtrack have also performed exceptionally well on the British charts, showcasing the overall strength of the film's musical content. "Soda Pop" secured the fifth position, while "Your Idol" claimed the eighth spot, and "Takedown" reached 76th place, indicating that multiple songs from the soundtrack have found favor with UK listeners.
The Netflix animated film "K-pop Demon Hunters," which was released on June 20, has achieved unprecedented success on the streaming platform. The animated sensation has officially become the most-watched title in Netflix's history, surpassing all previous records for both films and television series on the platform. This remarkable achievement underscores the global impact of the film and its soundtrack in bridging Korean pop culture with international audiences.
