Overview
- On the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart for Oct. 30–Nov. 5, “Golden” returned to No. 1 for a ninth nonconsecutive week, dethroning Taylor Swift and breaking a 56-year animated-artist record previously held by The Archies’ “Sugar, Sugar.”
- “Golden” now totals 13 weeks at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts after reclaiming the top spots when Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” slipped to No. 2.
- The 13-week global tally ties the fourth-longest reigns on those lists, matching Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers” on the Global 200 and Harry Styles’s “As It Was” on Global Excl. U.S., with Mariah Carey (19), Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (18), and Styles (15) still ahead.
- In the United States, the single has climbed back to No. 2 on the Hot 100 and Streaming Songs, held No. 2 on Digital Song Sales, and posted new peaks on two of Billboard’s pop radio charts.
- The song is tied to Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters and is credited to the fictional group Huntr/x with singers Audrey Nuna, Ejae, and Rei Ami, and Forbes analysis suggests it could challenge for the Hot 100’s top spot next.
