KATSEYE's 'PINKY UP' hits 9 weeks on UK chart; Huntrix 'GOLDEN' reaches 51

Two K-pop-adjacent singles are holding firm on the UK Official Singles Top 100 for the week of June 12–18, 2026.

KATSEYE's PINKY UP sits at No. 56, down three places from the prior week but now nine consecutive weeks on the chart. The group is a joint project between HYBE and Geffen Records (a Universal Music Group label), with members selected through the global audition series The Debut: Dream Academy.

The longer run belongs to GOLDEN by Huntrix—the virtual girl group from the Netflix animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters—which landed at No. 47, down two positions week-on-week. Fifty-one weeks straight on the Top 100 for a song tied to an animated property. The track has been charting since its release last year.

BTS's fifth studio album ARIRANG is also active, sitting at No. 37 on the UK Official Albums Top 100 for a 12th consecutive week inside the Top 40. The album previously reached No. 1 on that chart. The group's third time topping it.

Huntrix and fellow fictional group Lion Boys drove 1.8 billion and 921 million US streams respectively last year, according to music data analytics firm Luminate. Those numbers put them alongside real acts like Stray Kids (1.2 billion) and BTS (892 million) in the US K-pop streaming rankings.

(The UK Official Chart is considered one of the two major music charts globally alongside the US Billboard.)
