When KPop Demon Hunters fever came to the Top Gabb Music Songs chart in July, listeners seemed more inclined to stream Saja Boys, the Netflix film’s demon boy band, than HUNTR/X, the girl group trio hunting them down.
But now the tides have turned, as HUNTR/X’s “Golden” not only reigns for a second month on the October 2025 chart; the group’s “How It’s Done” also rises to No. 2.

Billboard has partnered with Gabb Wireless, a phone company for kids and teens, to present a monthly chart tracking on-demand streams via its Gabb Music platform. Gabb Music offers a vast catalog of songs, all of which are selected by the Gabb team to include only kid- and teen-appropriate content. Gabb Music streams are not currently factored into any other Billboard charts.
The October 2025 chart marks the third published ranking since Gabb Music was made available via app stores, meaning users can now download the streaming app to devices other than Gabb Wireless’ phones and tablets.
In July, Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” crowned the ranking, followed by a pair of HUNTR/X songs in “Golden” and “Takedown” at Nos. 2 and 3. Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” ruled the August survey, followed by the aforementioned “How It’s Done” and “Your Idol,” and “Golden” ascended to the throne in September, with the two Saja Boys tunes in hot pursuit.
But this time, HUNTR/X becomes the first of the warring groups to occupy the entire top two thanks to “How It’s Done” rising to No. 2, while “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol” must be content with Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.
With a second month at No. 1, “Golden” is the first song to reign for multiple months since Forrest Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” ruled between April and June.
“Golden” topped the multimetric, weekly Billboard Hot 100 for two frames in October, reigning on the Oct. 4 and 11 lists. It appears at No. 2 on the latest (Nov. 22-dated) tally.
While music from KPop Demon Hunters remains ubiquitous on the latest Top Gabb Music Songs ranking, occupying seven of the top eight positions for the second month in a row, October marks the first time since the songs’ July debut that something else seeps into the top five: Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” which lifts one position to No. 5.
One song debuts on the October chart, though it’s not a newly released song. Billie Eilish and Khalid’s 2018 collaboration “Lovely” bows at No. 24, over six years after the song peaked at No. 64 on the Hot 100 in January 2019. It’s Khalid’s first appearance on Top Gabb Music Songs since the ranking’s October 2024 inception, while Eilish has previously made the 25-positon survey with “Wildflower.”
