HUNTR/X is facing backlash over “Golden” hitting No.1 on UK charts
The controversy began as HUNTR/X’s song “Golden” from the Netflix animation K-Pop Demon Hunters topped the UK Official Chart this week. The track reached No. 1, which is a huge deal — but some fans and critics are now questioning the legitimacy and marketing behind the success.
Soon after the chart news, social media erupted with mixed reactions. Some praised the achievement. Others accused the project of unfair advantages linked to the Netflix tie-in and questioned how a new artist broke into such a major market so quickly.
As the situation escalated, no official statements were made by HUNTR/X or their agency. Industry insiders are watching closely to see if this will blow up into a bigger problem or settle down.
