The hit song from the Netflix animated film is the most successful K-pop song ever on the U.K. charts, and only the second No. 1 single following PSY’s “Gangnam Style.” “Golden” is credited to HUNTR/X, and is sung by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami. The song is now in its fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Two further songs from the film also appear in the top 10, with Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol” both bumping two spots at No. 4 and No. 7, respectively.

Sabrina Carpenter’s “Tears” is a non-mover at No. 3, and Disco Lines and Tinashe’s “No Broke Boys” closes the week at No. 5.

There’s new entries in the top 40 for Carpenter’s “When Did You Get Hot?” at No. 9, and Lady Gaga’s “The Dead Dance” from Netflix’s Wednesday season two at No. 13.
