'Golden' from 'KPop Demon Hunters' tops music charts in US, UK
Song from Netflix film reaches No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100, becoming 9th associated with Korean pop to reach highest spot The hype around Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters" shows no sign of abating, with a song from its soundtrack emerging as the summer's biggest pop hit since its release in June. "Golden" has climbed to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart, beating out Alex Warren's "Ordinary" for the top spot, according to Billboard on Monday. This marks the ninth song associated with Korean pop to reach the highest spot on the chart, joining "Seven" by Jungkook and "Like Crazy" by Jimin, both of BTS, in 2023, among them. Sung by the fictional girl group Huntrix — voiced by Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — it is also the first such song by female vocalists, according to Billboard. The Billboard Hot 100 ranks the most popular songs in the US based on streaming, radio airplay and sales data. After debuting at No. 81 early last month, the hit song has steadily risen through the ranks, climbing to No. 23, then No. 6, No. 4 and No. 2, before finally reaching the highest spot. The track is also the first No. 1 on the Billboard Indonesia Hot 100 chart by any fictional act since the ensemble No. 1 "We Don't Talk About Bruno," which reigned for five weeks in February-March 2022, Billboard added. Earlier this month, "Golden" climbed to No. 1 on the British Official Singles Chart Top 100, which ranks the UK's biggest songs of the week, based on audio and video streams, downloads, CDs and vinyl, compiled by Official Charts Co. It marked the first K-pop act to reach the top position since Psy topped the chart with "Gangnam Style" in 2012. "It represents another landmark moment for the globally dominating South Korean genre," Martin Talbot, chief executive officer of Official Charts, commented in an article published on the company's website on Aug. 1.

'Golden' from 'KPop Demon Hunters' tops Billboard Hot 100
"Golden," a track from the animated US film "KPop Demon Hunters," has reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 main singles chart. Billboard said Monday (US time) in a preview of its upcoming main singles chart that "Golden" climbed one spot to No. 1, beating Alex Warren's "Ordinary," this week. "Golden" set a record by topping both the Billboard chart and the British Official Singles Top 100 as it landed atop the latter chart Aug. 1. "'Golden' is the ninth song associated with Korean pop to conquer the Hot 100 -- and the first by female vocalists," Billboard said. The Hot 100 ranks the most popular songs in the United States across all genres, based on streaming, radio airplay and sales data. "Golden" earned 31.7 million streams during the latest chart tracking period, up 9 percent from the previous week, along with 8.4 million radio airplay audience impressions (a 71 percent increase) and 7,000 copies sold (up 35 percent) in the US from Aug. 1–7. Ejae, a composer who trained at SM Entertainment, along with Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, performed "Golden" as the fictional girl group Huntr/x featured in the film. All three are Korean American; Ejae and Rei Ami were born in South Korea. Teddy and 24, known for their work with major K-pop agency The Black Label, are among the song's co-producers. Following its debut at No. 81 early last month, "Golden" has steadily climbed the chart, rising to No. 23, No. 6, No. 4, No. 2 before ultimately reaching No. 1. Among K-pop acts, only boy group BTS (with six songs including "Dynamite" and "Butter") and its members Jimin (with "Like Crazy") and Jungkook (with "Seven") have topped the chart. "Golden" also became the first song from an animation soundtrack to top the chart since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from "Encanto" in 2022. Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, a US film studio, the Netflix original film tells the story of Huntr/x, who protects the human world from evil spirits. The track has emerged as the biggest smash hit in this summer's K-pop market, a season otherwise short on standout songs, drawing attention early on for its addictive melody and refreshing, soaring high notes. It also sparked a "Golden Challenge" boom in the K-pop world, with numerous female stars taking part. The song's high-note section has become a benchmark for vocal skill, attracting participants such as Bada from the now-disbanded group S.E.S., Lee Haeri of Davichi, Solar of Mamamoo, Lily of Nmixx, Ahn Yu-jin of Ive, Sohyang, Ailee and Kwon Jin-ah. As the film and its soundtrack became global sensations, Seoul's iconic landmarks featured in the movie, such as Mount Nam, the Bukchon village and the Han River, also drew heightened interest from international fans. The National Museum of Korea in Seoul, where visitors can explore traditional Korean heritage, and its souvenir shop saw a surge in visitors. The film's Korean tiger and magpie characters also gained immense popularity. (Yonhap)
