The soundtrack to Netflix’s ″K-Pop Demon Hunters,″ ″Golden,″ has set a new milestone in K-pop history. ″Golden,″ performed by girl group Huntrix in ″K-Pop Demon Hunters,″ topped the US Apple Music Daily Top Songs chart on the 6th (local time). This marks the first time a K-pop song has reached the top spot on the Apple Music chart, a significant achievement that demonstrates K-pop’s global popularity.

″Golden″ also reached number two on Billboard’s main chart, the ″Hot 100.″ This chart comprehensively reflects domestic album sales, radio airplay, and other factors in determining rankings. However, the Apple Music chart, based on streaming data from US users, has been considered a relatively challenging area for K-pop artists. Therefore, ″Golden’s″ number one ranking further solidifies K-pop’s widespread popularity.

″K-Pop Demon Hunters″ also featured several other songs on the charts. ″Your Idol″ dominated the charts, reaching #8, ″Soda Pop″ #9, ″How It’s Done″ #12, ″What It Sounds Like″ #21, ″Takedown″ #24, and ″Free″ #32. Twice’s version of ″Takedown″ notably peaked at #98, demonstrating the widespread popularity of K-pop.

The popularity of ″Golden″ resonates not only with K-pop fans but also with the general public. This achievement demonstrates the growing influence of K-pop artists in the global music market. With K-pop’s growing popularity, attention is focused on the possibility of ″Golden″ reaching #1 on Billboard’s ″Hot 100.″

The continued popularity of ″Golden″ opens up new possibilities for K-pop and raises expectations for its future chart performance. K-pop artists are expected to further strengthen their presence in the global market.
