Fictional female pop ensemble dominates the summer season of the year 2025
In the realm of pop culture, the unexpected phenomenon of the year is undoubtedly the animated musical fantasy film, "KPop Demon Hunters." This high-octane production, now the big surprise hit of the summer 2025 on Netflix, has taken the world by storm, particularly Germany.
The film's soundtrack has made a significant impact, with the catchy, bilingual (English and Korean) song "Golden" leading the charge. Streamed nearly 30 million times in Germany alone, this driving electropop number has been at the top of the German singles charts for two weeks and has been named the official summer hit of 2025.
The success of "Golden" in Germany is historically significant, marking the end of a three-year streak of German-language summer hits dominating the market. This achievement is a notable international accomplishment in the German music scene, signifying a shift in the summer hit landscape.
Beyond Germany, "Golden" has conquered the top of the charts in 14 other countries, including South Korea, the UK, and the US. It also made history by becoming the first female-led K-pop song to reach number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The fictional girl group Huntrix, consisting of Mira, Rumi, and Zoey, are the minds behind "Golden." The trio lead a double life as demon hunters in "KPop Demon Hunters," adding an extra layer of intrigue to the song's popularity.
Six other songs from "KPop Demon Hunters" are also placed in the German Top 100, further demonstrating the film's impact on the music industry. The singers behind the vocals of "Golden" are Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami.
The success of "KPop Demon Hunters" extends beyond the music charts. Netflix has registered more than 200 million views for the film within two months, making it the most popular animated film in the platform's history. With its engaging storyline, fantastic elements, and catchy soundtrack, "KPop Demon Hunters" is on its way to becoming the most successful Netflix film of all time.
In essence, "Golden" is not just a summer hit; it's a global phenomenon that has broken records and defied expectations. As we dance to its infectious rhythm and sing along to its easy-to-remember lyrics, we can't help but feel a sense of excitement for the future of pop culture.
