Netflix's movie 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' (hereinafter 'KDH') has set another new record.

On the 15th (KST), the UK Official Chart released the rankings for the singles chart 'Top 100'. The original soundtrack (OST) of 'KDH', titled 'Golden', has reached number one.

It reclaimed the top spot after about two weeks, surpassing American singer-songwriter Chapel Rowne’s 'The Subway' to secure the highest position on the 'Top 100'.

Once again, it has completed the reverse run myth. 'Golden' first entered the chart at number 93 (as of June 29), later moving to 31, 20, 9, and 4 before reaching the top position.

It also set a record as the first K-pop song ever to stay on the official chart for two consecutive weeks. PSY previously held the record with 'Gangnam Style' for one week at the top.

The album's success is also notable. It has been recorded as the most streamed OST in the UK, with 18,631 plays, surpassing the 'Barbie' OST, which had 17,681 plays.

In addition to 'Golden', several other songs have made it onto the chart. 'Soda Pop' secured the 6th spot, 'YOUR IDOL' came in 7th, and 'Take Down' placed at 35th.

'Golden' is performed by the fictional girl group 'Huntress'. The song was produced by Teddy and 24 from 'The Black Label'. It features vocals from Korean-American artists Lee Jae, Audrey Nuna, and Rae Ami.
