‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Hit ‘Golden’ Notches a Fourth Week at No. 1 on U.K Singles Chart

Netflix global smash KPop Demon Hunters goes “Golden” once again on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, clinching the top spot for its fourth non-consecutive week on the chart dated Aug. 29.

The track, which is credited to the film’s animated girl group HUNTR/X and performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, holds court as the longest-running K-pop No. 1 in U.K. chart history. It’s also only the second K-pop single ever to hit the summit on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, following PSY’s viral number “Gangnam Style,” which graced the top spot for one week in 2012.

Congratulations are in order for breakthrough star Olivia Dean, who this week becomes the first British female artist since Adele to score three U.K. top 10 singles simultaneously. Landing at No. 2, “Man I Need” becomes the 26-year-old’s highest charting song to date, while “Nice to Each Other” and Sam Fender collab “Rein Me In” follow at No. 7 and No. 10 respectively.

Earlier Friday, Dean shared the news via Instagram that she has sold out four nights at London’s O2 Arena, which are scheduled to take place next spring (April 29-30, May 1-2). The gigs form part of a wider U.K. and European headline tour, which takes in dates across Manchester, Glasgow, Stockholm and more.

Disco Lines and Tinashe’s “No Broke Boys” is a non-mover at No. 3, while Saja Boys, another fictional group from KPop Demon Hunters, follow at No. 4. Following a spectacular Reading & Leeds headline slot, Chappell Roan’s former chart-topper “The Subway” completes the top five.

K-pop continues to boom further down the chart, with a further five tracks from the genre securing spots throughout the top 40. Another Saja Boys song, “Your Idol,” finishes at No. 6, while “Takedown” and “Strategy,” TWICE’s contributions to the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, lift to No. 27 and No. 39. 

BLACKPINK’s Diplo-produced banger “JUMP” falls seven spots to No. 29, while boy band Stray Kids – who sold out two shows at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in July – come in at No. 37 with “Ceremony.”
