The U.K.’s Singles Chart witnessed another “Golden” week, as the KPop Demon Hunters’ immensely popular track secured its sixth non-consecutive week at the coveted No. 1 position on Friday, September 12. This hit song, originating from a Netflix animated film, has officially become the most successful K-pop song in the history of the U.K. charts, a remarkable achievement that sees it join PSY’s iconic “Gangnam Style” as only the second K-pop single to reach the summit. “Golden” is credited to HUNTR/X and features the vocal talents of EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami. Its success isn't limited to the U.K., as the track also marked its fourth consecutive week at No. 1 on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100, demonstrating its widespread international appeal.

The animated film continued its strong presence on the charts, with two more of its songs making significant moves within the top 10. Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” ascended two spots to claim the No. 4 position, while “Your Idol” also bumped up two places, landing at No. 7, underscoring the soundtrack's pervasive influence on popular music.

Beyond the film's offerings, other artists maintained strong chart performances. Olivia Dean’s heartfelt single “Man I Need” held firmly at No. 2, marking her highest-ever position on the U.K. Singles Chart. This track also showed a promising upward trend on the global stage, climbing 27 places week-on-week to reach No. 55 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sabrina Carpenter’s “Tears” remained a non-mover at No. 3, while the collaboration between Disco Lines and Tinashe, “No Broke Boys,” rounded out the top five for the week.

The Top 40 also welcomed several notable new entries. Sabrina Carpenter made another appearance with her new track “When Did You Get Hot?” debuting at an impressive No. 9. Lady Gaga also entered the charts with “The Dead Dance,” a song featured in Netflix’s highly anticipated second season of Wednesday, securing the No. 13 spot.

Adding a nostalgic touch to the chart landscape, several vintage hits experienced a resurgence, capitalizing on viral moments. Coldplay’s 2000 classic “Sparks” achieved a new peak, rising to No. 18. Gorillaz’ fan-favorite “Feel Good Inc” moved up three spots to No. 27, and Rihanna’s 2008 track “Breakin’ Dishes” lifted one spot to No. 30, proving that timeless music can find new audiences through digital trends.
