‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Hit ‘Golden’ Reigns for Seventh Week on U.K. Singles Chart

Tracks from KPop Demon Hunters continue to dominate the U.K’s Singles Charts as three songs land in the top five on the Sept. 19 list.

“Golden,” credited to HUNTR/X, and sung by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, lands at No. 1 for a sixth consecutive week and its seventh overall. Two other songs from the Netflix movie, Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol,” land at No. 3 and No. 5, respectively. This marks the first time that three K-pop songs have concurrently occupied spots in the top five.

On the Hot 100, “Golden” leads for a fifth week, and is now the longest leading hit by an animated act in the chart’s 67-year history. Two cartoon groups reigned for four weeks each: The Archies with “Sugar, Sugar” in 1969, and the Chipmunks with David Seville with “The Chipmunk Song” in 1958.

In the run-up to the release of her sophomore album, The Art of Loving (released Sept. 26), Olivia Dean continues to see success on the Official Singles Chart with three songs landing in the top 10: “Man I Need” spends a fourth consecutive week at No. 2, “Nice to Each Other” lifts two spots to No. 6 and her Sam Fender collaboration “Rein Me In” closes at No. 10.

Sabrina Carpenter has three songs in the top 10 with “Tears” (No. 4), “Manchild” (No. 8) and “When Did You Get Hot?” (No. 9) all performing well. Disco Lines and Tinashe’s “No Broke Boys” round out the top 10 at No. 7.

Ed Sheeran scores the week’s highest new entry with “Camera” making the top 20 (No. 16), and more songs from new LP Play also featuring: “Sapphire” at No. 28 and “A Little More” at No. 26. Play lands at No. 1 on the Official Albums Chart this week, giving the Suffolk-based singer his ninth overall.
