HUNTR/X’s “Golden” Reclaims UK No. 1, Shattering a 56-Year Chart Record
HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” the breakout anthem from the animated film KPop Demon Hunters, has climbed back to No. 1 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart—widely regarded as the country’s equivalent to the Billboard Hot 100. With this return, “Golden” secures its ninth non-consecutive week at the summit and sets a new all-time mark for animated artists on the chart, surpassing the 56-year record previously held by The Archies’ 1969 hit “Sugar, Sugar.”
The single edges past Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” to reclaim the top spot, underscoring the global pull of K-culture and the growing crossover power of soundtrack hits. As the flagship track of KPop Demon Hunters, “Golden” continues to fuel the film’s momentum while expanding HUNTR/X’s reach far beyond the screen.
The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack remains a force on the UK charts this week, with multiple tracks holding strong:
- HUNTR/X – “How It’s Done” at No. 10 (sixth week on chart)
- HUNTR/X – “What It Sounds Like” at No. 13 (second week)
- TWICE’s Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung – “Takedown” at No. 92 (14th overall week)
Another milestone for K-pop’s expanding footprint—and a major win for the team behind KPop Demon Hunters.
