HUNTR/X's 'Golden' Maintains 18-Week Run at No. 1 on Global Charts with Netflix Anime 'K-Pop Demon Hunters'

HUNTR/X, the group behind the soundtrack track "Golden" for Netflix’s record-breaking animated film "K-Pop Demon Hunters," has held the top spot on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Global Exclusives US chart for 18 consecutive weeks. Featuring vocals from EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI, "Golden" first reached number one on both charts in July last year. It now shares the second-longest reign at the top of the Global 200 since its inception in September 2020 with Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ "Die With a Smile." Maria Carey’s "All I Want for Christmas Is You" previously held the record for the longest consecutive No. 1 position at 19 weeks. On the Global Exclusives US chart, "Golden" surpassed "Die With a Smile" to claim the second-longest reign at the summit, falling just one week short of the record held by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ "APT." In the weekly update as of December 4, "Golden" topped the Global 200, recording 94.5 million streams worldwide (a 2% decrease from the previous week) and 10,000 downloads (a 5% increase). On the Global Exclusives US chart, it achieved 74.2 million streams (with little change from the prior week) and 6,000 downloads (an 8% increase). The Billboard Global 200 and Global Exclusives US charts rank songs based on streaming and sales data collected from over 200 regions around the world. The chart rankings are calculated using a weighted formula that combines official stream counts and download sales from subscription-based and ad-supported audio and video music services.
