What Is "Golden" and Who Performs It?

The song’s momentum appears to have significantly grown in the week of July 21 to 27, as reported by Oricon. “Golden” climbed to the No.1 position on the Rapid Streaming Growth chart, reflecting a 67.9% increase in streaming activity. This ranking was officially published by Oricon on July 31.

Streaming Surge and Chart Performance

Oricon’s Rapid Streaming Growth chart is based on the rate of increase in streaming numbers week-over-week. For the period from July 21 to July 27, “Golden” recorded a notable 67.9% increase in streams, the highest among all listed tracks. This earned it the No.1 spot on the chart published in the August 4, 2025 edition.

This rapid growth signals rising attention to the song following its feature in the Netflix film. Oricon’s data does not include raw stream counts, but the growth percentage was the leading metric. The streaming performance of “Golden” was likely influenced by several promotional moments earlier in the month.

Influencer Highlights from Jungkook and Yujin

On July 14, BTS member Jungkook mentioned KPOP Girls! Demon Hunters on the fan communication platform Weverse, drawing attention to the film. Just days later, on July 19, IVE member Yujin uploaded a video on the YouTube IVE Official Channel performing a cover of “Golden.” Both instances may have contributed to the song’s surge in visibility and streaming figures during the latter half of July.

The timing of these posts coincides with the measurement period for Oricon’s July 21–27 chart. While Oricon’s report does not cite specific causal factors, both moments preceded the song’s rise to No.1 in the rapid growth ranking.
