Golden from KPop Demon Hunters slips to No. 2 on UK Singles Chart

Nov 16, 2025

As the year-end chart race intensifies, Golden from Netflix’s animated film KPop Demon Hunters continued to resonate with UK listeners, landing at No. 2 on the latest UK Official Singles Chart Top 100.

According to the chart released on Friday, Golden—which topped the rankings last week—slid one spot to No. 2 as Taylor Swift’s The Fate of Ophelia reclaimed the No. 1 position.

The track has now spent 21 consecutive weeks on the UK Singles Chart and has achieved a total of 10 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, marking one of the strongest performances for a soundtrack single this year.

The film’s OST placed three tracks within the Top 20 this week: How It’s Done at No. 10, What It Sounds Like at No. 14, and Golden at No. 2.

Meanwhile, APT., the hit collaboration between BLACKPINK’s Rosé and pop star Bruno Mars, continued its long-running chart presence, ranking No. 86 and extending its streak to 56 consecutive weeks.

LE SSERAFIM’s SPAGHETTI also secured a spot on the chart, coming in at No. 95.
