Huntr/x's 'Golden' achieves historic four-week reign at Hot 100

In the United States, on September 7, 2025, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack saw significant success with the song 'Golden' by the fictional girl group Huntr/x. This track reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking its fourth non-consecutive week at this position. The song has made history, tying with classic hits from notable girl groups like TLC and The Supremes, which also enjoyed similar success during their eras. The triumph of 'Golden' is particularly noteworthy as it highlights the growing presence of K-pop in the American music landscape, a genre that has been gradually entering mainstream consciousness over the years. The track also managed to break into the top ten of Billboard's Pop Airplay chart, becoming just the sixth K-pop song ever to achieve this milestone, further signifying its popularity and cultural significance. The success story of 'Golden' reflects broader trends in the music industry, where artists from various genres are beginning to enjoy substantial airplay success on American radio stations, an area where many previous K-pop artists have struggled. As it gains traction, 'Golden' is also noted for its performance on various other Billboard charts, including moving up on the Adult Pop Airplay and Radio Songs rankings. The song's ascent to the top has been fueled not only by radio airplay but also strong streaming and digital sales, which contribute to overall chart positions. This recent achievement speaks to the potential longevity of the track within the charts and sets the stage for future successes not only for Huntr/x but also for K-pop as a whole in the American market.
