"KPop Demon Hunters" Sets New UK Record For Most Weekly Streams Of Any Soundtrack + "Golden" Returns To No. 1
The “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack set more than one new record in the United Kingdom this week! For the week of August 14 to 20, “Golden”—the smash hit by the fictional girl group HUNTR/X from the film “KPop Demon Hunters” (sung by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami)—returned to No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart (widely regarded as the U.K. equivalent to Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in the United States). “Golden,” which first hit No. 1 on the chart two weeks ago, has now become the first K-pop song to top the Official Singles Chart for more than one week. “KPop Demon Hunters” also overtook the 2023 film “Barbie” to break the record for the most U.K. album streams achieved in a single week by any soundtrack in history. The soundtrack spent its eighth week at No. 1 on the Official Compilations Chart, racking up 18,631 streaming-equivalent sales over the past week (and besting the previous record of 17,681 achieved by “Barbie” two years ago). Including “Golden,” “KPop Demon Hunters” once again charted three songs in the top 10 of the Official Singles Chart this week. Fictional boy band Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol” (both sung by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, U-KISS’s Kevin Woo, and samUIL Lee) ranked No. 6 and No. 7 respectively on this week’s chart. TWICE’s Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung’s version of “Takedown” rose to a new peak of No. 35 in its third week on the chart, while TWICE’s 2024 hit “Strategy” (which is included on the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack) jumped to No. 45. Congratulations to the cast and crew of “KPop Demon Hunters”!
