KedeHun's 'Golden' reaches No. 42 on the UK Official Singles Chart, sustaining 27 weeks on the chart

According to a media report, the main original soundtrack of the Netflix animation 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', 'Golden', has reached No. 42 on the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100, marking its 27th week on the chart. The track is known as the vocal trio version performed by the virtual girl group Huntrix, featuring EJAE, Rae Ami, and Audrey Nuna. Even after 27 weeks since its release, its record of topping the chart for 10 non-consecutive weeks remains strong, suggesting that KedeHun's popularity on global platforms won't easily wane.

Another OST, 'How It’s Done', remained at No. 81 this week. The simultaneous entry of both tracks into the UK Top 100 attests that music from Netflix's animation continues to reach audiences. With year-end seasonal songs occupying the chart’s upper ranks, 'Golden' continues the steady popularity it earned last year into this year.

'Golden' is the flagship track of Huntrix, the virtual girl group inside KedeHun, in the version sung by EJAE (a Korean-American singer), Rae Ami, and Audrey Nuna. The OST featuring these artists drew a strong early reaction, and the 27-week chart run underscores sustained global interest. The long presence of KedeHun's OST on the UK charts is interpreted as evidence that the overseas reach of Korean music content has spread beyond a mere trend into a cultural phenomenon.

Meanwhile, this chart week, reflecting the year-end mood, features several holiday songs in the top ranks. No. 1 is Wham!’s 'Last Christmas', No. 2 is Mariah Carey’s 'All I Want for Christmas Is You', No. 3 is Brenda Lee’s 'Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree'. However, the fact that 'Golden' remains charted for its 27th week demonstrates that the KedeHun OST retains its appeal even amid the flashy competition of new-year-end releases.

KedeHun is cited as an example of Netflix’s animation spreading music together with global content consumption. This week’s chart performance once again confirms the ripple effect of platform-linked music content, and provides clues on how Korean-origin artists’ global activities expand across various media. Looking ahead, attention will also focus on whether additional tracks from the entire KedeHun OST will enter the charts, beyond 'Golden' and 'How It’s Done'.
