'Golden' from 'Kpop Demon Hunters' OST tops British Official chart for 2nd week

SEOUL, Aug. 23 (Yonhap) -- "Golden," the smash hit single from the original soundtrack of the Netflix animation film "Kpop Demon Hunters," has topped the British Official Singles Chart Top 100 for the second consecutive week.

According to the chart unveiled Friday (local time), "Golden" claimed the top spot, beating "No Broke Boys" by Disco Lines & Tinashe.

The song by the film's fictional girl group Huntr/x was sung by Ejae, a composer who trained at SM Entertainment; Korean American singer Audrey Nuna; and South Korean-born U.S. artist Rei Ami.

The track is the first K-pop song to reach No. 1 in 13 years since Psy topped the chart with "Gangnam Style" in 2012. "Golden" also topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart of the United States earlier this week.

Other songs from the soundtrack also performed high on the British chart, with "Soda Pop" and "Your Idol" ranking third and sixth, respectively. "Takedown" also came in at 31st.
