K-pop just dropped the mic on the U.S. charts — and it’s animated.
The theme song “Golden” from Netflix’s explosive new anime-inspired film K-Pop Demon Hunters just snatched the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first-ever K-pop female vocal track to top the chart — and the first K-pop No. 1 since BTS.
Performed by the fictional girl group HUNTRIX, “Golden” is the real deal:
- 31.7 MILLION streams
- 8.4 MILLION radio plays
- 7,000 pure sales
And the powerhouse voices behind it? EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI — all proud Korean Americans — proving once again that K-pop knows no borders.
Oh, and that’s not all — the OST’s boy group track “Your Idol” by Saja Boys is sitting pretty at No. 8.
The movie’s fandom is exploding, TikTok challenges are everywhere, and K-pop stans are treating K-Pop Demon Hunters like the animated Blackpink: The Movie they’ve been waiting for.
Bottom line? K-pop didn’t just conquer Netflix… it’s owning the U.S. airwaves, one demon at a time.
