The soundtrack to Netflix’s animated film KPop Demon Hunters continues to prove that its momentum is anything but fictional.
The project’s standout single Golden remains firmly planted in the upper tier of the Billboard Hot 100, landing at No. 9 this week. Although it slipped four spots from the previous ranking, the song’s 34-week run on the chart signals remarkable staying power in one of the world’s most competitive music markets. Longevity at this level is no small feat, and Golden has managed to maintain broad appeal across streaming platforms and radio formats alike.
On the albums side, ATEEZ delivered another major milestone. The group’s 13th mini-album, GOLDEN HOUR: Part. 4, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, marking their eighth Top 10 entry on the chart. The achievement reinforces the group’s steady growth in the United States and their reputation for consistent commercial impact with each new release.
The success did not stop there. The KPop Demon Hunters original soundtrack album claimed the No. 10 spot on the Billboard 200, adding another high-profile placement for the animated project. Meanwhile, HYBE Global’s girl group Catseye secured a Top 50 finish, with Beautiful Chaos arriving at No. 48.
Further down the chart, Enhypen’s The Sin: Vanish landed at No. 61, and Stray Kids’ Do It entered at No. 181, rounding out a week that showcased the breadth of K-pop’s presence across multiple tiers of the Billboard rankings.
Together, these placements reflect a continued surge of Korean pop acts in the U.S. market. From soundtrack singles with multi-month staying power to established groups stacking Top 10 albums, the genre’s global reach remains firmly intact and increasingly diversified.
