We’re not just talking about the jaw-dropping soprano section of the song when we say “ Golden ” is going up, up, up. The track by the fictional K-pop girl group Huntr/x has hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, bumping “Ordinary” singer Alex Warren to second place in the latest extraordinary achievement to come out of Netflix’s hit animated musical KPop Demon Hunters. In the film, the song’s power allows Rumi, Zoey, and Mira to keep demons from entering the human world; in real life, the trio’s tune kept Warren from enjoying another week at No. 1 after nine nonconsecutive ones atop the chart this summer.
“Golden” — performed by real-life artists Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — debuted at No. 81 on the July 5 chart, two weeks after the movie dropped on Netflix. Per Billboard
