HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden’ Leads Hot 100 for Fourth Week, Sabrina Carpenter Claims Two in Top Five

As the KPop Demon Hunters smash reigns, Carpenter’s “Tears” debuts at No. 3 and former leader “Manchild” bounds 7-4.

Couch, couch, couch will have to wait, as HUNTR/X works its way to a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Golden,” from the soundtrack to the smash animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters.

Upon the original ascent to No. 1 for “Golden,” HUNTR/X — the singing trio of EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI (in the roles of the film’s characters Rumi, Mira and Zoey) — became the first female group associated with Korean pop to crown the Hot 100.

KPop Demon Hunters has also become the first soundtrack to generate four simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s over the chart’s 67-year history. The songs place in the bracket for a third week, with Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop” each down a spot from their respective Nos. 4 and 5 bests and HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done” holding at its No. 9 high.

Also in the Hot 100’s top 10, Sabrina Carpenter charts two songs: “Tears” launches at No. 3 and former leader “Manchild” climbs 7-4. Both tracks are from her new album, Man’s Best Friend, which blasts in as her second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden’ Tops Hot 100 for Third Week

The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack boasts three top five hits and four top 10s for a second week.

HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” from the soundtrack to the smash animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters, glows atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a third week.

Upon the original coronation of “Golden,” HUNTR/X — the singing trio of EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI (in the roles of the film’s characters Rumi, Mira and Zoey) — became the first female group associated with Korean pop to crown the Hot 100. The act also became the first all-woman collective of three or more members to lead in 24 years, since Destiny’s Child with “Bootylicious” for two weeks in August 2001.

A week ago, KPop Demon Hunters became the first soundtrack to generate four simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s over the chart’s 67-year history. The songs continue in the tier, with Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop” holding at their respective Nos. 4 and 5 highs and HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done” pushing 10-9.

Meanwhile, as KPop Demon Hunters has now logged three songs in the Hot 100’s top five simultaneously for two weeks, it joins just one other soundtrack that has achieved such a triple-double: On the charts dated April 8 and 15, 1978, three Saturday Night Fever songs ranked in the region: Bee Gees’ “Night Fever” (No. 1) and “Stayin’ Alive” (No. 2) and Yvonne Eliiman’s “If I Can’t Have You” (also written by the trio; No. 5).

Stray Kids Earn Seventh No. 1 on Billboard 200 With ‘KARMA’

Plus: Laufey, Deftones, Tyler, The Creator and BigXthaPlug shake up the top 10.

Stray Kids earn their seventh No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart as KARMA debuts atop the list dated Sept. 6. The set earned 313,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Aug. 28, according to Luminate. Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise 296,000. Both figures mark career highs for the act.

KARMA also lands the third-biggest week, by units, of 2025 among all albums, as well as the year’s second-largest sales week.

All seven of the group’s Billboard 200 chart entries have debuted at No. 1, beginning with ODDINARY in 2022. Last year, when HOP debuted atop the list, Stray Kids became the first act to debut at No. 1 with their first six entries in the 69-year history of the chart. With KARMA’s arrival, they extend that record. The Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March 1956.

In addition, with a seventh No. 1, Stray Kids surpass BTS, Linkin Park and Dave Matthews Band for the most No. 1s among groups on the Billboard 200 this century (since 2000).

Also in the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 chart, Laufey scores her first top 10 with the No. 4 arrival of A Matter of Time; Deftones land their seventh top 10 with the No. 5 bow of private music; Tyler, The Creator’s Cherry Bomb re-enters the chart at No. 6 following a 10th anniversary reissue; and BigXthaPlug notches his highest-charting effort yet with the No. 7 debut of I Hope You’re Happy.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Sept. 6, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Sept. 3, one day later than usual, owed to the Labor Day holiday on Sept. 1 in the U.S. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of KARMA’s 313,000 first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 296,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart), SEA units comprise 16,000 (equaling 23.12 million on-demand official streams of the sets songs; it debuts at No. 34 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 1,000.

In 2025, the three largest weeks for albums, by units, are the opening frames of Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (493,000), The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow (490,000)and KARMA (313,000). In traditional album sales, the two biggest weeks of 2025 belong to Hurry Up Tomorrow (359,000) and KARMA (296,000).

KARMA’s album sales were aided by its availability across 11 CD variants and three vinyl variants (all containing collectible items such as photocards, with some items randomized), including signed editions.

As KARMA is mostly in the Korean language, it is the 29th mostly non-English-language album to hit No. 1, and the second of 2025 (following Bad Bunny’s Spanish-language DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS). Four mostly non-English titles topped the list in 2024, and all were mostly Korean-language efforts. Of the 29 mostly non-English-language albums to reach No. 1, 19 are mostly Korean, six mostly (or all) Spanish, one mostly Italian, one entirely French and two mostly a blend of Spanish, Italian and French.

The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is a non-mover at No. 2, its peak, on the Billboard 200 with its best week yet: 125,000 equivalent album units earned (up 16%). The gain was boosted by the film’s sing-along release in movie theaters and on Netflix and the set’s arrival on CD. The CD was sold mostly via online retailers after only being available to purchase as a digital download previously. Album sales (across all configurations) totaled 18,000 for the week (up 236%). A wider release for the CD is due on Sept. 5.

Further, KPop Demon Hunters has spent six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 2. It’s the first soundtrack in the modern era (since May 1991, when the chart began utilizing Luminate’s electronically monitored tracking information) to spend at least six weeks at No. 2 without reaching No. 1.

Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem falls 1-3 after a dozen nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, earning 116,000 equivalent album units in the latest tracking frame (down 4%).

Laufey achieves her first top 10 album on the Billboard 200 as A Matter of Time debuts at No. 4 with 99,000 equivalent album units earned — her biggest week ever. Of that sum, album sales comprise 71,000 (her best sales week; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 28,000 (equaling 38.57 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 11 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across eight vinyl and three CD variants (each with one signed edition) and a cassette.

A Matter of Time is Laufey’s third studio album. The singer-songwriter’s second effort, 2023’s Bewitched, reached No. 18 in 2024, won a Grammy for best traditional pop vocal album and has earned over 950,000 equivalent album units in the U.S.

A Matter of Time marks the highest-debuting jazz album on the Billboard 200 since the Dec. 1, 2018-dated chart, with Michael Bublé’s Love debuted and peaked at No. 2. (Jazz albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Jazz Albums chart.)

Deftones score their seventh top 10 effort on the Billboard 200 as private music premieres at No. 5 with 87,000 equivalent album units earned — the band’s best week by units. Of that starting sum, album sales comprise 66,000 (the group’s largest sales week since 2016’s Gore bowed with 69,000; private music starts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 20,500 (equaling 26.72 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs, it debuts at No. 20 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise the remaining sum. (First-week sales were helped by the set’s availability across seven vinyl variants, three CDs, a cassette and a boxed set with a branded piece of clothing and a vinyl LP inside.)

The new album — the band’s 10th full-length studio effort — was preceded by its track “My Mind Is a Mountain,” which became the band’s first No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart (dated Sept. 6).

Tyler, The Creator’s Cherry Bomb, first released in 2015, returns to the Billboard 200 following a 10th anniversary reissue. The set reenters the chart at No. 6 with 52,000 equivalent album units earned (up from a negligible sum in the previous week). For its 10th anniversary, the set was reissued on three vinyl variants, CD and in three deluxe boxed sets (each containing a piece of branded clothing and a copy of the CD). Album sales largely drive the set’s reentry, comprising nearly 51,000 of the set’s units for the week. Cherry Bomb debuted and peaked at No. 4 on the May 2, 2015-dated chart.

BigXthaPlug lands his highest-charting album, and second top 10, on the Billboard 200 with the No. 7 bow of I Hope You’re Happy. The set earned 47,000 equivalent album units in its first week, with SEA units comprising 41,000 (equaling 54.59 million on-demand official streams of its tracks; it debuts at No. 3 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 5,000 (it debuts at No. 22 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000.

I Hope You’re Happy was preceded by a trio of charted songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “All the Way” (featuring Bailey Zimmerman; No. 4 peak in April), “Home” (featuring Shaboozey; No. 77 in July) and “Hell at Night” (with Ella Langley; No. 49 in August).

Rounding out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200: Alex Warren’s You’ll Be Alright, Kid drops 5-8 (just over 38,000 equivalent album units earned, down 4%), Gunna’s The Last Wun falls 4-9 (38,000, down 20%) and Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time dips 7-10 (nearly 38,000, up less than 1%).

Led by HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden’ at No. 1, ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Becomes First Soundtrack With Four Simultaneous Hot 100 Top 10s

KPop Demon Hunters is also the first soundtrack with four Hot 100 top 10s at all in nearly 30 years.

HUNTR/X’s “Golden” shines again atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart — and contributes to history for its parent album, the soundtrack to the smash animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters.

“Golden” rebounds a spot for a second week at No. 1, two weeks after it first led the Hot 100, as KPop Demon Hunters becomes the first soundtrack to generate four simultaneous top 10s over the chart’s 67-year archives. Also from the album, Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” holds at its No. 4 high and their “Soda Pop” surges 10-5 — while HUNTR/X slays with its second top 10, as “How It’s Done” bursts 14-10.

KPop Demon Hunters becomes just the fifth soundtrack with four Hot 100 top 10s at all, and the first since Waiting To Exhale spun off a record five in 1995-96.

Upon the original coronation of “Golden,” HUNTR/X — the singing trio of EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI (in the roles of the film’s characters Rumi, Mira and Zoey) — became the first female group associated with Korean pop to top the Hot 100. The act also became the first all-woman collective of three or more members to reign in 24 years, since Destiny’s Child with “Bootylicious” for two weeks in August 2001.

Browse the full rundown of this week’s top 10 below.

Morgan Wallen’s ‘I’m the Problem’ Makes It a Dozen Weeks at No. 1 on Billboard 200

Plus: Conan Gray scores his highest-charting album, while Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift surge back into top 10.

Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem notches its 12th nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Aug. 30). The set earned 121,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Aug. 21 (down 4%), according to Luminate. I’m the Problem debuted at No. 1 on the May 31-dated chart, spent it first eight weeks in the pole position, stepped away from the top for two weeks and then returned to No. 1 for four weeks running.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Conan Gray scores his highest-charting album yet as Wishbone bows at No. 3, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft jumps back into the top 10 after a new one-year anniversary vinyl variant was released, and Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department returns to the top 10 following the buzz surrounding the announcement of her upcoming The Life of a Showgirl album.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Aug. 30, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Aug. 26. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of I’m the Problem’s 121,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Aug. 21, SEA units comprise 116,000 (down 4%, equaling 154.02 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for a 13th nonconsecutive week), album sales comprise 4,000 (up 1%; it moves 21-17 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 1%).

Cumulatively, Wallen’s three No. 1 albums (I’m the Problem, One Thing at a Time and Dangerous: The Double Album) have spent a total of 41 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. That puts him in second place for the most weeks at No. 1 this century, surpassing Adele’s 40 weeks on top. Only Taylor Swift, with 86 weeks at No. 1 since 2000, has more. Before I’m the Problem’s 12 weeks at No. 1, One Thing at a Time ruled for 19 nonconsecutive weeks in 2023-34 and Dangerous: The Double Album was tops for 10 straight weeks in 2021.

The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack holds at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 108,000 equivalent album units earned (up 3%). The album debuted at No. 8 nine weeks ago and has never left the top 10. The last soundtrack to spend its first nine weeks in the top 10 was Fifty Shades of Grey in 2015, which spent its first 14 weeks in the top 10.

Further, KPop Demon Hunters has spent five nonconsecutive weeks at No. 2 — its peak to date. The last soundtrack to spend at least five weeks at No. 2, without reaching No. 1, was Forrest Gump in 1994, which notched five straight frames in the runner-up spot (behind another soundtrack, The Lion King). KPop Demon Hunters is likely to sport further gains on next week’s charts, with the Netflix film getting a wide release in movie theaters for a sing-a-long event this weekend.

Conan Gray scores his highest-charting album ever on the Billboard 200 as Wishbone bows at No. 3. It launches with 71,000 equivalent album units earned — his best week by units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 53,000 (his best sales week yet — it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 18,000 (equaling 23.71 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 27 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across seven CD variants (including signed editions) and seven vinyl editions (some signed) and a standard digital download edition.

Gray previously hit the top 10 of the Billboard 200 twice, with Superache (No. 9 in 2022) and Kid Krow (No. 5 in 2020).

Wishbone was preceded by its single “Vodka Cranberry,” which peaked at No. 38 on the Pop Airplay chart.

Gunna’s The Last Wun falls one spot to No. 4 on its second week on the Billboard 200 (48,000 equivalent album units, down 40%), while Alex Warren’s You’ll Be Alright, Kid is steady at its No. 5 high for a second week (nearly 40,000 units, down 6%).

Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft rallies 24-6 after the release of a one-year anniversary vinyl edition of the album. The set, counting all versions of the album, including the new vinyl variant, earned 38,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week (up 64%). Of that sum, vinyl sales accounted for nearly 18,000. The anniversary edition of the vinyl was pressed on bio-vinyl dark blue and orange splatter with its cover printed on silver mirror foil board and contains a poster.

Hit Me Hard and Soft, which peaked at No. 2 in its debut week (chart dated June 1, 2024), was last in the top 10 on the June 7, 2025-dated list (at No. 9) and last ranked as high on the Feb. 22, 2025, chart (when it was also at No. 6).

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time rises a spot to No. 7 on the latest Billboard 200 (nearly 38,000 equivalent album units, down 1%), SZA’s former leader SOS is up two spots to No. 8 (35,000, down 1%) and Justin Bieber’s SWAG falls 7-9 (nearly 33,000, down 15%).

Closing out the top 10 is Taylor Swift’s former No. 1 The Tortured Poets Department, which jumps 18-10 with 30,500 equivalent album units earned (up 18%). Swift’s most recent studio album, which led the chart for 17 nonconsecutive weeks beginning in May 2024, returns to the top 10 for the first time since the Feb. 15-dated list (No. 9).

Poets’ vault back into the top 10 comes after Swift’s Aug. 12 announcement of her forthcoming new studio album, The Life of a Showgirl (due Oct. 3). On Aug. 13, Swift provided further details about the album, including its tracklist and producers, and appeared on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast, New Heights, to chat about the project. YouTube announced that the pod peaked at 1.3 million concurrent livestream viewers — more than any other podcast has garnered since the platform launched a “dedicated podcast experience in 2023,” per the company.

Alex Warren’s ‘Ordinary’ No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 for Milestone 10th Week

Plus, KPop Demon Hunters generates a third top 10, and the second by Saja Boys, with “Soda Pop.”

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” rebounds a rank to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking its milestone 10th week in the chart’s top spot.

Over the Hot 100’s 67-year history, a mere 4% of all Hot 100 No. 1s (47 of 1,183) have dominated for double-digit weeks. “Ordinary” is the first to reach the mark since Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther,” which led for 13 weeks beginning in March. Before that, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” reigned for a record-tying 19 weeks beginning in July of last year.

Meanwhile, the soundtrack to the smash Netflix animated film KPop Demon Hunters adds its third Hot 100 top 10, as Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” bounds 14-10. It’s the second top 10 for the act — whose music is voiced by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo and samUIL Lee — joining “Your Idol,” which surges to the top five (8-4). The set’s “Golden” by HUNTR/X — the singing trio of EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI — ranks at No. 2, a week after rising to No. 1.

HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden’ from ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Hits No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

Plus, Chappell Roan’s “The Subway” rumbles in at a career-best No. 3.

HUNTR/X’s “Golden” goes up, up, up a spot for its first week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The aspirational song is from the soundtrack to the smash animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters and glows as the first Hot 100 leader for the act, whose music is voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI. The set rules Billboard’s Soundtracks chart for a seventh week.

Notably, “Golden” is the ninth song associated with Korean pop to conquer the Hot 100 — and the first by female lead vocalists. It joins “Seven” by Jung Kook (featuring Latto) and “Like Crazy” by Jimin, both of BTS, in 2023, and BTS’ six No. 1s in 2020-21: “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat),” with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo; “Dynamite”; “Life Goes On”; “Butter”; “Permission To Dance”; and “My Universe,” with Coldplay. (HUNTR/X singers EJAE and REI AMI were born in Seoul, South Korea; Nuna is from New Jersey.)

“Golden” is also the first IRL Hot 100 No. 1 by any act with a fictional background since the ensemble No. 1 “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” which reigned for five weeks in February-March 2022. It, too, was released from a hit animated film, Disney’s Encanto, and sung by multiple vocalists as their characters in the movie.

As for all-women collectives of three or more members, HUNTR/X is the first to top the Hot 100 in 24 years — since Destiny’s Child dominated with “Bootylicious” for two weeks in August 2001.

Plus, Chappell Roan’s “The Subway” pulls into the Hot 100 at No. 3, marking her highest debut and rank. The song starts as her fourth top 10.
