According to Billboard's Top 10 preview of 'Hot100' on the 25th (local time), 'Golden' succeeded in retaking the top spot.
'Hot100' is the Billboard main single chart, which is ranked by combining streaming data, radio broadcast scores, and sales data.
'Golden' recorded 33.8 million streams during this chart aggregation period, up 3% from the previous week. Radio broadcasting scores increased 39% to 16.2 million and sales increased 11% to 8000.
As a result, 'Golden' pushed out Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' to win first place. After reaching the top of the chart for the first time on the 11th, it ranked No. 1 for two weeks 'Hot100' in a row. K-pop, which has been ranked No. 1 for more than two weeks in 'Hot100', is third in 'Golden' after the BTS 'Butter'(No. 1 for 10 weeks) and 'Dynamite'(No. 1 for 3 weeks). "'Golden' is the first K-pop song sung by a female singer to hit the top of 'Hot100' and then marks another milestone in the history of K-pop.
In addition, `Kedeheon' by Lion Boys ranked 'Your Idol', 'Soda Pop', and Huntrix 'How It's Dawn' in the singles chart 'Top 10', #4, #5 and #10.
Billboard explained "This is the first time in Billboard history that four OST songs have entered the top 10" in one work at the same time."
The popularity of 'Kedeheon' and 'Golden' is expected to continue in the future.
'Kedeheon' rose to the top of the North American box office on the 23rd and 24th, selling out more than 1,000 theaters with a special screening event for Singalong held in the United States. Thanks to the popularity of these works, OST is also showing strength in streaming, so the possibility of long-term power is also high.
Billboard says the movie will become even more popular with the Singalong event. The streaming and sales-related indicators increased by the event will be reflected in next week's chart," it said.
