“HUNTR/X’s “Golden” from ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Soundtrack Tops Billboard Hot 100 Chart”

HUNTR/X’s track “Golden” has climbed to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking a significant achievement for the artist. Featuring vocals by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI, this track is part of the soundtrack for the popular animated Netflix film, KPop Demon Hunters. The film itself is making waves, currently sitting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, further solidifying the success of “Golden.”

This milestone holds extra significance as “Golden” is the eighth K-pop song to claim the top position on the Hot 100 chart. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that this is the first time female vocalists have achieved this feat. The combination of EJAE and REI AMI, who hail from Seoul, alongside Nuna from New Jersey, brings a fresh perspective to the K-pop genre and highlights the diversity within the industry.

Another standout on this week’s Hot 100 chart is the debut of Chappell Roan’s “The Subway,” which enters at an impressive No. 3. This debut not only marks Roan’s highest entry on the chart but also represents her fourth Top 10 hit in her career, showcasing her talent and appeal to a wide audience.

In other chart movements, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” has slipped to No. 2 after enjoying a nine-week reign at the top dating back to June. The rest of the Top 10 sees artists like Morgan Wallen with “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, sliding down to No. 4. Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” also falls to No. 5, while Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not” maintains its position at No. 6.

Wallen’s other track, “Just in Case,” descends to No. 7, while Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack climbs to a new peak at No. 8. Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” round out the Top 10, falling to No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.

Overall, the current Hot 100 chart reflects a dynamic mix of artists and genres, showcasing the diversity and talent present in the music industry today. As HUNTR/X’s “Golden” takes its place at the top, it symbolizes the continued evolution and success of K-pop on a global scale.
