HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden,’ From ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ Spends 15th Week Atop Global Charts

HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” from Netflix’s record-breaking animated movie KPop Demon Hunters, tops the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for a 15th week each. In July, the song became the first No. 1 on each survey for the act, whose music is voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

“Golden” glows atop the Global 200 with 117.4 million streams (down 3% week-over-week) and 14,000 sold (up 7%) worldwide in the week ending Nov. 6.

The song ties for the third-longest command since the Global 200 began in September 2020. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has ruled for 19 weeks since that December and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” dominated for 18 weeks starting in September 2024. “Golden” matches Harry Styles’ “As It Was,” which led for 15 weeks in 2022.

(It’s ti-ime: “All I Want for Christmas Is You” reenters the latest Global 200 at No. 43, with 22.7 million streams, up 172%, and 2,000 sold, up 217%, worldwide.)

Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, after two weeks at No. 1 in October; Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” rises 4-3, following 10 weeks on top beginning in May; Swift’s “Opalite” slips 3-4, after hitting No. 2; and Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” keeps at No. 5, after reaching No. 4.

“Golden” leads Global Excl. U.S. with 89.4 million streams (down 4%) and 7,000 sold (up 1%) beyond the U.S.

As on the Global 200, “Golden” claims the third-longest No. 1 run on Global Excl. U.S., trailing only ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” and “Die With a Smile,” which reigned for 19 and 17 weeks respectively in 2024 into this year.

“The Fate of Ophelia” repeats at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. after two weeks at the summit in October; Kenshi Yonezu’s “Iris Out” climbs 6-3, after reaching No. 2; LE SSERAFIM and j-hope’s “Spaghetti” drops 3-4 in its second week; and “Ordinary” falls 4-5 after eight weeks at No. 1 starting in May.
