HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden,’ From ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ Conquers Billboard Global Charts for Third Week

HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” from the soundtrack to the hit animated film KPop Demon Hunters, adds a third nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. Three weeks earlier, the song became the first leader on each list for the act, whose music is voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI.

Notably, the track surpasses 100 million weekly streams worldwide for the first time.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020 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” crowns the Global 200 with 113.4 million streams (up 15% week-over-week) and 10,000 sold (up 24%) worldwide in the week ending July 31. The song surpasses 100 million global weekly streams for the first time, boosted by a remix by David Guetta, released July 25.

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200 after 10 weeks on top beginning in May; Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” — also from KPop Demon Hunters — pushes 5-3 for a new high; Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” keeps at No. 4, after reaching No. 3; and BLACKPINK’s “Jump” falls 3-5, two weeks after it launched at the summit.

“Golden” rules Global Excl. U.S. with 85.2 million streams (up 16%) and 5,000 sold (up 29%) outside the U.S.

“Jump” holds at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S., two weeks after it opened at No. 1; “Ordinary” is steady at No. 3, following eight weeks at No. 1 starting in May; Faheem Abdullah’s “Saiyaara” repeats at its No. 4 high; and “Soda Pop” bubbles up 6-5 for a new best.
