KPop Demon Hunters fever heats up again as Golden by HUNTR/X returns to Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.

The fictional girl group's empowering electropop banger first reached the top two weeks ago, before being dethroned last Friday by Chappell Roan's The Subway.

This week, The Subway slips to Number 2, while Disco Lines and Tinashe's summer earworm No Broke Boys reaches a new peak inside the Top 3 (3), representing a career-best for both artists.
For the second week in succession, Golden is joined in the Top 10 by two other tracks from Netflix phenomenon KPop Demon Hunter: Soda Pop (6) and Your Idol (7), both by animated boyband Saja Boys.
Further down, we find another KPop Demon Hunters track inside the Top 40, as TWICE’s Takedown vaults 12 to become the girl group’s highest-charting single in the UK yet (35).
And the phenomenon doesn’t end there. KPop Demon Hunters breaks Official Chart records as it secures the most UK album streams in a week for a soundtrack ever. Now in its eighth week atop the Official Compilations Chart, the soundtrack surpasses the previous record held by Barbie The Album, with its 18,631 streaming-equivalent sales over the past seven days beating Barbie’s biggest week of 17,681 in 2023.

Ahead of BLACKPINK’s landmark gigs at London's Wembley Stadium this weekend – the first headline shows at the legendary venue by a K-pop girl group – the quartet’s comeback single JUMP rebounds seven (28).
And, as the Oasis reunion tour continues to captivate the nation, the band’s classic 1994 single Cigarettes & Alcohol returns to the Top 40 for the first time since 1996. It’s joined in the Top 40 by Don't Look Back in Anger (21).
