HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden’ Tops Billboard Global Charts, Stray Kids’ ‘Ceremony’ Debuts in Top 10

HUNTR/X continues slaying all competitors (demon or otherwise) as “Golden” leads the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for a seventh week each. In July, the song became the first No. 1 on each list for the act, whose music is voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI.

Songs from Netflix’s animated smash KPop Demon Hunters account for half the Global 200’s top 10 for a second week. Below “Golden,” Saja Boys remain at No. 3 with “Soda Pop” and No. 4 with “Your Idol,” with both having reached No. 3; both are sung by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo and samUIL Lee. Plus, HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done” holds at its No. 5 high and “What It Sounds Like,” likewise from the movie and soundtrack, jumps 10-7 for a new best.

Elsewhere, Stray Kids’ “Ceremony” bounds in at No. 8 on Global Excl. U.S. and No. 10 on the Global 200.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

“Golden” tops the Global 200 with 120 million streams and 17,000 sold (up 6% week-over-week in each metric) worldwide in the week ending Aug. 28. Gains for the song were helped by KPop Demon Hunters’ sing-along wide release in movie theaters Aug. 23-24 and that version’s premiere on Netflix Aug. 25.

The only song not from KPop Demon Hunters in the Global 200’s top five, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” is steady at No. 2 after 10 weeks on top beginning in May.

Stray Kids’ “Ceremony” launches at No. 10 on the Global 200 with 44 million streams and 10,000 sold worldwide. It starts at No. 8 on Global Excl. U.S. with 35.9 million streams and 5,000 sold outside the U.S. The song — from Stray Kids’ Karma: The 4th Album, which arrives as their seventh No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — is their third top 10 on each global chart, after “Chk Chk Boom” and “LALALALA.” The two tracks also reached No. 10 on the Global 200, in August 2024 and November 2023, respectively. On Global Excl. U.S, they hit respective Nos. 4 and 6 peaks.

“Golden” leads Global Excl. U.S. with 86 million streams (up 6%) and 8,000 sold (up 2%) outside the U.S.

“Ordinary” holds at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S., following eight weeks at No. 1 starting in May; “Soda Pop” repeats at its No. 3 high; BLACKPINK’s “Jump” stays at No. 4, after it led in its debut week in July; and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rises 7-5 following 17 weeks at No. 1 beginning a year ago this week.
