Golden Tops Billboard Hot 100 for Four Straight Weeks

Golden tops Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth straight week as its momentum grows into a major global phenomenon. The hit soundtrack also leads the Billboard 200, marking a rare dual-chart achievement. Fans worldwide celebrate its powerful and emotional lyrics while predicting continued chart dominance.

K-Pop Demon Hunters Expands Its Global Impact

Netflix’s animated feature K-Pop Demon Hunters is no longer just a cult favorite — it has become a true cultural phenomenon. Viewers praise its creative storytelling, its faithful depiction of Korean traditions, and its world-class animation. The film’s soundtrack has now pushed its popularity to a whole new level, making headlines worldwide.

Golden Claims Billboard Hot 100 Throne Again

Billboard reported on the 15th (local time) that “Golden,” performed by HUNTR/X, the film’s fictional girl group, remained at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated the 20th. This achievement marks four consecutive weeks at the summit and five weeks overall, including earlier non-consecutive runs. The track’s steady momentum shows no sign of slowing down as it continues to connect with fans across the globe.

Golden Secures Billboard Hot 100 History for K-Pop

Only two K-pop tracks have ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks or longer: BTS’s Butter with ten weeks and HUNTR/X’s “Golden.” Industry observers see this as a turning point for K-pop, proving that a song tied to an animated film can compete on the world’s biggest pop chart and sustain that success for weeks.

Golden Strengthens Billboard Hot 100 and Album Chart Presence

Earlier this week, the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, achieving a rare double victory. “Golden” holding the Billboard Hot 100 top spot and the soundtrack leading the Billboard 200 simultaneously highlights the project’s powerful crossover appeal. The last soundtrack to achieve this feat was Disney’s Encanto in March 2022, when both its album and “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” led the charts.

First K-Pop Album in Five Years to Rule Both Charts

The combination of an album and a lead single topping both Billboard charts has not occurred for a K-pop act in nearly five years. BTS accomplished it in December 2020 when BE led the Billboard 200 and “Life Goes On” topped the Billboard Hot 100. “Golden” now revives that rare moment, underscoring K-pop’s continuing global influence.

Fans Celebrate Golden’s Run While Debating Chart Competition

On Korean community forum MLBPARK, fans celebrated Golden’s triumph but voiced disappointment that “Your Idol” could not grab No. 1. Many users predicted Golden would remain unbeatable for now, citing its moving lyrics and the euphoric feeling of singing along. Listeners described the track as an anthem that leaves them feeling inspired and emotionally uplifted each time it plays.
