“Speechless” — Golden by KDH Tops Billboard, Making New History After BTS 





The original soundtrack Golden from the Netflix animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters has claimed the No. 1 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, the main singles chart.



On the 11th (local time), Billboard announced in its chart preview article that Golden had risen one spot from the previous week to reach the top of the chart, overtaking Alex Warren’s Ordinary. The Hot 100 ranks songs based on a combination of U.S. streaming data, radio airplay points, and sales figures. During this charting period, Golden recorded 31.7 million streams in the U.S., up 9% from the previous week. Radio airplay points surged by 71% to 8.4 million, while sales rose 35% to 7,000 copies.



The song entered the Hot 100 last month at No. 81, then climbed to No. 23, No. 6, No. 4, and No. 2 before finally taking the top spot in its seventh week on the chart.
