After weeks of fierce competition, Golden — the breakout hit from Netflix’s animated film KPop Demon Hunters — has once again risen to the top of the UK Official Singles Chart, knocking Taylor Swift’s The Fate of Ophelia from the No. 1 spot.
According to the Official Charts released Saturday, Golden — performed by the in-film K-pop girl group Huntrix — climbed two spots to reclaim the summit, marking its ninth nonconsecutive week at No. 1.
Swift’s The Fate of Ophelia, which had dominated the chart for three straight weeks, slipped to No. 2.
Other KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack tracks also performed strongly. How It’s Done ranked No. 10, What It Sounds Like placed at No. 13, and Takedown — performed by TWICE — came in at No. 92.
The film KPop Demon Hunters tells the story of global K-pop sensation Huntrix, who double as demon hunters when they are offstage. Since its release, the movie has entered Netflix’s Top 10 chart in more than 90 countries and claimed the No. 1 spot in over 40, underscoring its worldwide popularity.
Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM’s new single Spaghetti debuted at No. 46, while BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ maintained her chart streak with APT., holding steady at No. 66 for the 54th consecutive week.
