Golden-Billboard chart

'Golden' rebounds to No. 2 on Billboard Hot 100

SEOUL, Jan. 6 (Yonhap) -- "Golden" from the original soundtrack of Netflix's hit animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" jumped to No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, buoyed by a post-holiday rebound in streaming and sales, Billboard said Monday (U.S. time).

The track climbed 23 spots from the previous week, recovering from a slump caused by Christmas songs dominating the chart during the year-end period.

Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" retained the top position, rising 27 places week-on-week. The track has now logged a non-consecutive total of nine weeks at No. 1, marking the longest reign for any of the pop star's singles, Billboard said.
