\n\tHUNTR\/X<\/a>\u2019s \u201cGolden,\u201d from Netflix\u2019s animated smash<\/a> movie KPop Demon Hunters, dominates the Billboard Global 200<\/a> and Billboard Global Excl. U.S.<\/a> charts for a 10th week each. In July, the song became the first No. 1 on each list for the act, whose music is voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGolden\u201d is just the eighth of 72 No. 1s since the Global 200 began in September 2020 to rule for double-digit weeks. On Global Excl. U.S., it\u2019s only the sixth of 63 leaders to reach the milestone.<\/p>\n

\n\tHits from KPop Demon Hunters account for half the Global 200\u2019s top 10 for a fifth week. Below \u201cGolden,\u201d Saja Boys<\/a> hold at No. 3 with \u201cSoda Pop\u201d and No. 4 with \u201cYour Idol,\u201d with both having reached No. 3; both are sung by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo and samUIL Lee. Plus, HUNTR\/X\u2019s \u201cHow It\u2019s Done\u201d drops a spot from its No. 5 high and \u201cWhat It Sounds Like\u201d keeps at No. 8, after hitting No. 7.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, Olivia Dean<\/a>\u2019s breakthrough hit \u201cMan I Need\u201d surges to the top 10 on both the Global 200 (16-9) and Global Excl. U.S. (17-10).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.<\/p>\n

\n\tChart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts\u2019 calculations.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGolden\u201d crowns the Global 200 with 111.8 million streams and 16,000 sold worldwide (down 5% week-over-week in each metric) in the week ending Sept. 18.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo songs not from KPop Demon Hunters rank in the Global 200\u2019s top five: Alex Warren\u2019s \u201cOrdinary\u201d holds at No. 2 after 10 weeks on top beginning in May and sombr\u2019s \u201cBack to Friends\u201d rises 7-5, surpassing its prior No. 6 peak to become his first top five hit on the chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Dean\u2019s \u201cMan I Need\u201d becomes her first top 10 on both the Global 200 (16-9) and Global Excl. U.S. (17-10). The song, which has hit the top 10 on nine rankings in Billboard\u2019s Hits of the World<\/a> charts menu, boasts gains of 13% to 34 million streams and 32% to 4,000 sold worldwide in the tracking week. The Art of Loving, the English singer-songwriter\u2019s debut LP, featuring the single, is due Friday (Sept. 26).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGolden\u201d leads Global Excl. U.S. with 81 million streams (down 4%) and 8,000 sold (down 3%) outside the U.S.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rest of the Global Excl. U.S. top five holds in place: \u201cOrdinary\u201d at No. 2, after eight weeks at No. 1 starting in May; \u201cSoda Pop\u201d at its No. 3 high; \u201cBack to Friends\u201d at its No. 4 best; and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars\u2019 \u201cDie With a Smile\u201d at No. 5, after 17 weeks at No. 1 beginning last September.<\/p>\n
