Continuing to seal off the No. 1 spot from invaders like an IRL honmoon, HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” from Netflix’s animated smash movie KPop Demon Hunters, rules the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for an 11th week each. In July, the song became the first No. 1 on each list for the act, whose music is voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI.

Hits from KPop Demon Hunters make up half the Global 200’s top 10 for a sixth week. Below “Golden,” Saja Boys keep at No. 3 with “Soda Pop” and No. 4 with “Your Idol,” with both having reached No. 3; both are sung by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo and samUIL Lee. Plus, HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done” drops 6-7 after hitting No. 5 and “What It Sounds Like” slides 8-10, after rising to No. 7.
Elsewhere, Kenshi Yonezu’s “Iris Out” blasts to the top 10 on both the Global 200 (32-5) and Global Excl. U.S. (12-2).
The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.
Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.
“Golden” crowns the Global 200 with 132 million streams, a new weekly best (up 18% week-over-week), and 16,000 sold (essentially even) worldwide in the week ending Sept. 25.
Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” holds at No. 2 after 10 weeks atop the Global 200 beginning in May.
Kenshi Yonezu’s “Iris Out” becomes his first top 10 on the Global 200, bounding 32-5 with 45.1 million streams (up 105%) and 19,000 sold (up 12%) worldwide in the tracking week. The song by the Japanese artist is from Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc (released Sept. 19), with its fully animated official video depicting highlights of the film. The Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart-topper concurrently vaults 12-2 on Global Excl. U.S., with 97% of its streams and 99% of its sales for the week logged outside the U.S. Yonezu adds his second top 10 — and highest-charting hit — on the ranking, after “Kick Back” reached No. 4 in 2022.
“Golden” leads Global Excl. U.S. with 99.8 million streams (up 23%) and 8,000 sold (down 2%) beyond the U.S.
Elsewhere in the Global Excl. U.S. top five, “Ordinary” descends 2-3, after eight weeks at No. 1 starting in May; “Soda Pop” slips to No. 4 from its No. 3 high; and sombr’s “Back to Friends” backtracks to No. 5 from its No. 4 peak.
