Netflix’s animated blockbuster KPop Demon Hunters continues to shine on the UK’s Official Singles Chart — even as Taylor Swift dominates the rankings with her latest album.
According to the Official Charts released on Friday, Golden, performed by the in-film girl group HUNTR/X from the KPop Demon Hunters original soundtrack, climbed two spots to No. 3 on the Official Singles Top 100 (covering Oct. 17–23). The track has now spent 13 consecutive weeks in the Top 5, including seven straight weeks at No. 1 and eight nonconsecutive weeks atop the chart overall.
Your Idol, performed by HUNTR/X’s rival group Saja Boys in the film, slipped one notch to No. 10 but remains on the chart for an impressive 16th consecutive week. HUNTR/X’s other hit How It’s Done re-entered the chart at No. 12, marking its fourth cumulative week on the list.
Another standout from the soundtrack, Take Down — sung by TWICE members Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung — ranked at No. 93, extending its streak to 12 consecutive weeks on the chart. Altogether, four songs from the KPop Demon Hunters OST have remained in the UK Top 100 for 11 straight weeks, underscoring the film’s remarkable global staying power.
Meanwhile, Blackpink member and solo artist JISOO entered the chart at No. 37 with her new single Eyes Closed (Feat. ZAYN), a collaboration with former One Direction member ZAYN. The song marks Jisoo’s highest-ever peak on the UK chart.
At the top, pop superstar Taylor Swift continues her reign as both her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl and its lead singles hold steady at No. 1 on the Official Albums and Singles charts for a second consecutive week.
