Netflix\u2019s animated feature KPop Demon Hunters continues to fuel a chart storm, as its soundtrack hit Golden claimed the top spot once again on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n
According to Billboard\u2019s preview chart released on Monday, Golden will remain at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for the week of Oct. 4. The track has now led the chart for six consecutive weeks and seven weeks overall. Among K-pop songs, only BTS\u2019 Butter has enjoyed a longer run at No. 1, for 10 weeks.<\/p>\n
During the latest tracking week, Golden racked up 33.8 million streams, up 5% from the previous week, and reached 33.9 million radio airplay impressions, an 11% jump. Digital sales came to 8,000 units, a 2% increase. The song has topped the Streaming Songs chart for 10 straight weeks, climbed from No. 16 to No. 9 on Radio Songs, and ranked No. 2 on Digital Song Sales.<\/p>\n
Golden\u2019s achievement is particularly significant for female groups. With seven consecutive weeks at No. 1, the track has tied TLC\u2019s Waterfalls as the second-longest Hot 100 reign by a song from a female group with three or more members. The record belongs to Destiny\u2019s Child\u2019s Independent Women Part 1, which reigned for 11 weeks.<\/p>\n
The broader soundtrack is also making waves. Fellow KPop Demon Hunters tracks by Saja Boys \u2014 Soda Pop and Your Idol \u2014 held steady at No. 3 and No. 5 on this week\u2019s Hot 100, joining Golden to secure three Top 5 spots. This marks the fourth consecutive week that the OST has placed three tracks simultaneously in the Hot 100\u2019s Top 5, underscoring K-pop\u2019s growing clout in the global soundtrack market.<\/p>\n
