After losing the top spot for a week, KPop Demon Hunters is back at No. 1 with hit single “Golden” (Aug. 15).
The song from the Netflix musical first hit the top spot a fortnight ago, becoming the first K-pop No. 1 single in the U.K. for over 13 years. PSY’s “Gangnam Style” was the last song to achieve the feat prior to that in 2012.

Chappell Roan debuted at No. 1 with her comeback single “The Subway” and claimed the crown from the animated group HUNTR/X, which is sung by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami.
But after a week away from the top, “Golden” has returned to the top spot with a massive weak on streaming. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack has now secured the most U.K. album streams in a week for a soundtrack ever (18,631 streaming-equivalent sales), toppling a record held by the Barbie soundtrack in 2023 (17,681). Two additional songs from the soundtrack “Soda Pop” (No. 6) and “Your Idol” (No. 7), both by animated boyband Saja Boys, land in the top 10.
Roan’s “The Subway” falls just one spot to No. 2 as the U.S. star tours a number of European festivals throughout August. She’ll head to the U.K.’s Reading & Leeds Festival next weekend (Aug. 22) for her debut headline performance at the iconic festival.
Disco Lines and Tinashe’s “No Broke Boys” climbs two spots to reach a new peak (No. 3). The song first featured on Tinashe’s 2024 LP Quantum Baby before its remix by the rising EDM producer.
MK and Chrystal’s “Dior,” which spent two weeks at the summit earlier this summer, finishes the week at No. 4, while Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” holds steady at No. 5.
