‘KPop Demon Hunters' Tops the Billboard 100 With Huntr/x's ‘Golden'
KPop Demon Hunters has swiftly become one of the most delightful and empowering surprises of the year in animation. Now that the Netflix and Sony Animation-certified banger is taking over the world, it only makes sense for its catchy music to reach greater heights. Billboard just announced that 'Golden' from KPop Demon Hunters' hit soundtrack has reached #1 on the charts. The Huntr/x track for a while there was only slightly behind the Saja Boys' 'Your Idol' from the same soundtrack—but just like in the film, the kick-ass trio overcame the bad guys and surpassed them to hit the top of the charts. So yeah, that Honmoon? Sealed. As per Billboard, 'Golden' is the ninth song from the Korean pop genre to dominate the Hot 100. Additionally, it's also the most recent No. 1 performed by a fictional ensemble from a film, the last being Encanto's viral 'We Don't Talk About Bruno,' which enjoyed a five-week stint at the coveted spot in February and March 2022. And what's even cooler: this is the first all-women group to lead the charts since Destiny's Child in 2001. Huntr/x are those girls. Recently Stephen Kirk and Jenna Andrews, a songwriting duo that contributed to KPop Demon Hunters, talked to the Hollywood Reporter about the film's success: 'I certainly had no expectation. I was just like, I love K-pop, this sounds like a fire idea, let's just see where it goes. And then for it to come out, go number one on Netflix, and then [have] the soundtrack explode, it's just such a blessing,' shared Kirk. Andrews added, 'I mean, the truth is, most labels would [not be interested in] soundtracks. Because soundtracks just don't really stream, they don't really go; it's about the movie, and they go away, right?' she said. 'I think with this particular one, because it was K-pop, I think we both thought it probably will do something, but to this extent, no. Definitely not.' KPop Demon Hunters is now streaming on Netflix. Want more io9 news?

Why a '70s Singer Missed Out on Recording What Became the Beatles' Final Hit Song
Why a '70s Singer Missed Out on Recording What Became the Beatles' Final Hit Song originally appeared on Parade. Can you imagine anyone but Paul McCartney singing 'The Long and Winding Road'? Released in May 1970, a month after The Beatles broke up, the song stood as a makeshift eulogy for the band. Fans found solace and sympathy in McCartney's voice as he sang, 'The wild and windy night that the rain washed away / Has left a pool of tears, crying for the day / Why leave me standing here? / Let me know the way.' Released as a single in the U.S. (and oddly, not in the U.K.), 'The Long and Winding Road' went to the top of the charts. As of today, it's the band's last No. 1 song on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100—but, as Beatles lore goes, it was meant for someone else: . Recently, Tim David Kelly, aka Tim From Kicking Harold, highlighted how McCartney and Tom Jones 'were having a great time' while out on the town. After a few drinks, Jones asked McCartney to write him a song. 'Paul, who very much enjoyed doing this type of thing, told his friend he'd be happy to write a song for him.' McCartney soon had the song ready and sent it over to Jones. But McCartney included a catch. 'The condition was that I could do it, but it had to be my next single,' Jones told Wales Onlinein 2013. 'Paul wanted it out straight away. At that time, I had a song called 'Without Love' that I was going to be releasing.' Jones asked his record label, which was 'gearing up' towards the release of 'Without Love,' if he could 'stop everything' so he could record this new song. 'They said it would take a lot of time, and it was impractical, so I ended up not doing it,' said Jones. 'I was kicking myself,' he said. 'I knew it was a strong song and of course it subsequently appeared on[Let It Be].' 'The Long and Winding Road' was a source of contention within the Beatles. McCartney—who already resented the band's manager, Allen Klein—was furious that Klein, apparently without consulting anyone in the band, had producer Phil Spector record the orchestral and choral overdubs to the song. McCartney wrote a letter to Klein and Spector, demanding that 'in the future, no one will be allowed to add to or subtract from a recording of one of my songs without my permission.' He also demanded changes to the version, ending his note with 'Don't ever do it again.'Why a '70s Singer Missed Out on Recording What Became the Beatles' Final Hit Song first appeared on Parade on Aug 11, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Stock Movers: TKO, Cannabis Stocks, Hershey
On this edition of Stock Movers: - TKO Group (TKO) shares advanced today after Paramount Skydance acquired the exclusive rights to show all events from the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the US over the next seven years, the companies announced Monday, a $7.7 billion deal designed to boost the Paramount+ streaming service. Paramount will offer the UFC's 13 marquee events and 30 additional fight nights on its streaming service, while also showing select events on the CBS broadcast network, starting next year. UFC's marquee events are typically numbered and feature title matches with top fighters, while fight nights usually involve up-and-comers or less prominent matchups. Paramount said it's paying an average of $1.1 billion a year and will explore buying international rights in the future as they become available. - Tilray Brands (TLRY) and other shares of cannabis-linked companies rallied on Monday after President Donald Trump said he was considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug-giving the sector a much needed boost. - Shares of chocolate makers Hershey (HSY) and Mondelez (MDLZ) are trading lower Monday as cocoa futures climbed the most since December amid dropping inventories and renewed concern about weaker West African crop forecasts in the coming season. Futures in New York surged as much as 11% on Monday before paring gains. US exchange cocoa stockpiles have been falling, while dry weather conditions in parts of the world's top growing region are threatening the next cocoa season after the current mid-crop harvest has already been poorer than expected.
