The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack has also spent six weeks at the top of the albums chart after being released in April, with the Netflix film going viral worldwide
The track Golden from the Netflix smash film KPop Demon Hunters has soared to number one in the singles chart, marking the first K-pop number one in 13 years. The single, by animated band HUNTR/X, has climbed four spots from last week’s fourth place.
On the albums chart, Merseyside group The K’s have bagged their first number one album with Pretty On The Internet. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack also enjoys a sixth consecutive week at the pinnacle of the Official Compilations Chart, according to the Official Charts Company.
This is the first time a K-pop artist has reached number one in the Official Singles Chart since 2012, when PSY’s Gangnam Style became the UK’s inaugural K-pop number one.
Two additional tracks from KPop Demon Hunters also make the top 20, with Saja Boys, Andrew Choi and Neckwav’s Your Idol climbing four places to hit number 10, while Soda Pop jumps six to 11.
This week’s highest new entry is courtesy of Drake and Central Cee, whose single Which One has shot straight to number four in the charts.
US crooner Justin Bieber has slipped from number one to two with Daisies, while Dior by producer MK, known as Marc Kinchen, featuring singer-songwriter Chrystal, sits at number three and US vocalist Sabrina Carpenter is in fifth place with her chart-topper Manchild.
It’s a second top 10 for US singer Tinashe, as Disco Lines’ remix of No Broke Boys reaches number eight. The passing of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne last month has seen a resurgence in the popularity of his band Black Sabbath’s discography, with their tracks climbing the charts this week.
Black Sabbath’s Paranoid has reached number 20 and Iron Man sits at number 48 in the singles chart. Osbourne’s Crazy Train has also climbed to number 25. Indie rock outfit The K’s, hailing from Earlestown, previously saw top five success with their 2024 debut I Wonder If The World Knows?
Their album is also the best-selling vinyl of the week, the most downloaded album of the week and the top seller in UK independent record shops. As Oasis gear up for their fourth and fifth performances at London’s Wembley Stadium this weekend, the Gallagher brothers claim the UK’s most-streamed album of the week with Time Flies… 1994-2009 at number two, while (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? is at number three and Definitely Maybe is in sixth place.
Paul Weller secures his 24th top 10 album as a solo artist with Find El Dorado at number five, just trailing US singer Alex Warren at number four with You’ll Be Alright Kid (Chapter 1).
Osbourne’s influence can also be seen in the albums chart, with his Memoirs Of A Madman re-entering the top 40 at 32 for the first time since its 2014 release.
Black Sabbath’s 2016 compilation album The Ultimate Collection ascends to its highest ever position at 14, while their chart-topping 1970 album Paranoid re-enters the top 40 for the first time in 45 years at 38.
