The soundtrack sensation from the animated film “KPop Demon Hunters” continues its historic reign in the United Kingdom.
The fictional girl group HUNTR/X has achieved a monumental milestone, with their hit single “Golden” securing its 10th consecutive week at No. 1 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart, a ranking equivalent to the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
The news, reported on November 8, 2025, solidifies the track’s status as an undeniable cultural phenomenon, driven by the film’s “KPop Demon Hunters” fever.
Breaking Records and Setting New Standards
The single’s longevity at the top of the chart is particularly remarkable because it has shattered a long-standing record within a niche category.
Just the week prior, “Golden” was noted for setting a new record for the longest No. 1 run of any song by an animated artist.
It surpassed the 56-year-old record previously held by The Archies and their iconic 1969 hit “Sugar, Sugar.”

By achieving a 10th week at the summit, HUNTR/X has not only broken this decades-old record but has continued to extend it, marking a definitive shift in how animated and soundtrack-based music is received in major global markets.
The enduring success of “Golden” reflects its immense popularity, transcending the typical commercial limits often associated with film tie-in singles.
Chart Domination and Industry Recognition
“Golden’s” success isn’t an isolated incident for the fictional group. HUNTR/X has effectively demonstrated deep penetration into the UK chart, placing multiple tracks from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack within the Top 15 of the Official Singles Chart in the same week:
- “Golden”: No. 1 (10th week)
- “How It’s Done”: No. 11
- “What It Sounds Like”: No. 13
This triple threat on the chart indicates that the entire soundtrack, and not just the lead single, has amazed the UK audience.
Also, the immense popularity and quality of the music have been recognized by top-tier award bodies, as the “KPop Demon Hunters” Soundtrack has earned a Grammy nomination for 2026.
The soundtrack shares the nomination spotlight with other major releases, including Rosé and Bruno Mars’s “APT.” and KATSEYE‘s latest work.

This sustained commercial performance—both in the UK and globally—highlights the unprecedented success of this animated property.
The overwhelming reception of the music has turned the fictional group HUNTR/X into a legitimate music-charting force, garnering congratulations for the entire cast and crew of KPop Demon Hunters.
