On the Chart for 17 Consecutive Weeks
The original soundtrack (OST) "Golden" from the Netflix animated film "K-Pop Demon Hunters" has climbed to third place on the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100.
According to the Official Charts on the 17th (local time), "Golden" rose two spots from the previous week to reach third place, marking its 17th consecutive week on the chart. "Golden" first entered the chart at number 93 in late June, spent a total of eight weeks at number one until last month, then dropped in rank before climbing back up again.
"Your Idol" at Number 10
Despite global pop star Taylor Swift's new album dominating various charts, "Golden" has maintained its position at the top. Another OST from "K-Pop Demon Hunters," "Your Idol," dropped one spot to number 10, while "How It's Done" re-entered the chart at number 12. "Takedown," performed by Twice, fell six places to number 93.
"K-Pop Demon Hunters" is an animated film that tells the story of the popular girl group Huntrix, who act as hidden heroes protecting the world behind their glamorous stage performances. The film has surpassed 300 million cumulative views, making it the most successful Netflix release of all time. The featured song "Golden" is notable for its universe that blends traditional and modern Korean culture. It topped both of the world's two major pop charts-the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100-for eight weeks each. As the song's popularity continues to endure, it is being mentioned as a potential contender for the Grammy Awards, the most prestigious music award in the United States.
Meanwhile, "Eyes Closed," a new song by Blackpink's Jisoo in collaboration with former One Direction pop star Zayn, debuted at number 37 on the chart. The hit song "APT." by Ros? and Bruno Mars, which marked its first anniversary since release, dropped three places to number 67.
