The hit single \"Golden\" by HUNTR/X, prominently featured in Netflix's animated series 'KPop Demon Hunters,' has secured its position at the pinnacle of the Billboard Hot 100 for an extraordinary sixth consecutive week. This achievement not only highlights the song's widespread popularity but also establishes several new benchmarks in music history.
HUNTR/X's \"Golden\" Dominates Charts, Setting New Milestones
In a significant musical milestone, HUNTR/X, an animated musical trio, has cemented its place in history with their song \"Golden\" from the Netflix series 'KPop Demon Hunters.' As of September 23, 2025, \"Golden\" has held the coveted No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive six weeks in a row. This streak surpasses the five-week reign of Disney's \"We Don't Talk About Bruno\" from 'Encanto' in 2022, making \"Golden\" the longest-charting soundtrack hit of the decade. Before this, only Wiz Khalifa's \"See You Again\" featuring Charlie Puth, from the 'Fast & Furious 7' soundtrack, enjoyed a longer run at No. 1 since 2015, holding the top position for 12 weeks. Moreover, HUNTR/X is recognized as the first K-pop-associated female group and the first animated group in the 67-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 to maintain the leading position for such an extended period. The success extends beyond \"Golden\" as other tracks from the 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack continue to perform exceptionally well. For the fifth consecutive week, three additional songs, including Saja Boys' \"Soda Pop\" (No. 5), \"Your Idol\" (No. 6), and HUNTR/X's \"How It's Done\" (No. 8), have simultaneously charted within the Hot 100's top 10, underscoring the soundtrack's overall critical and commercial triumph.
The sustained success of \"Golden\" underscores the evolving landscape of popular music, where animated productions and K-pop influences are increasingly breaking through traditional barriers. This achievement not only celebrates the talent behind HUNTR/X but also paves the way for diverse artists and creative projects to gain global recognition on prestigious charts like the Billboard Hot 100.
