After making Netflix history as the most-watched movie on the streaming platform of all time, KPop Demon Hunters <\/a>has refused to let go of its stronghold on the Billboard charts.<\/p>\n

Per a press conference hosted by CBR with EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami attending, HUNTR\/X\u2019s “Golden,” from Netflix\u2019s smash-hit film KPop Demon Hunters, has topped the Billboard for a seventh week, becoming one of the 10 longest-leading No. 1s from a movie over the chart\u2019s 67-year history. The track remains neck-and-neck with TLC’s 1995 hit single “Waterfalls.” Notably, the current Billboard standings are topped by all-women groups, and both follow a trend set by Destiny’s Child with an 11-week run. “Golden” first shot to the top of the charts around the time of KPop Demon Hunters’ late summer release in August. Billboard also reports that HUNTR\/X is the first K-pop-related girl group to dominate the Hot 100 chart.<\/p>\n

It’s additionally been reported that “Golden” earned 33.8 million streams from release to the time of writing, and that the song had been played on the radio 33.9 million times. Republic Records reported that the song’s airtime and stream count have continually increased following the movie’s release, and “Golden” has become the first song to reach Radio Top 10 status by an animated group after surpassing Gorillaz’ total airtime. Other KPop Demon Hunters tracks such as “Your Idol” by the Saja Boys have retained their relevancy on the Billboard Global 200 Charts. In the same vein of music from animation making waves on a cultural level, Kenshi Yonezu\u2019s “Iris Out” for Chainsaw Man \u2013 The Movie: Reze Arc <\/a>has held its place in the Global Top 10 ranks.<\/p>\n

In addition, KPop Demon Hunters itself has broken another major viewership record; per Variety<\/a>, it is now the longest-running title in history on the English-language films chart, breaking a record previously held by Red Notice after 15 weeks straight in the Netflix Top 10 charts during the viewing window for Sept. 22-28, 2025.<\/p>\n

No official confirmation of the sequel’s potential plot or returning voice cast has been confirmed yet, though it’s unsurprising that Sony and Netflix would make want to spin their successful one-off sensation into a larger franchise. Similarly, rumors of a KPop Demon Hunters live-action remake<\/a> have been swirling across the internet, and understandably, have left fans of the animated movie divided if the live-action were to ever come into fruition. It’s also been suggested that KPop Demon Hunters may launch an Oscars campaign,<\/a> though whether Sony and Netflix pursue a bid for Academy Award wins is yet to be seen.<\/p>\n
