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).
Browse the full rundown of this week’s top 10 below.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Sept. 6, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Sept. 2 (one day later than usual due to the Labor Day holiday Sept. 1).
