I’d been coveting one for years, so I went in guns blazing, offering 50 per cent of the asking price. I was adamant that 50 per cent — OK, 55 per cent tops — was the most I would pay. But I’ll never get back the hours I’ve spent deciding which Chinese-made blob of painted clay best represents the true nature of Cleethorpes.

Film-world originWho is behind the soundWhat keeps it on top'Golden,' the standout track tied to the Netflix-released animated film 'KPop Demon Hunters,' has extended its No. 1 run on the UK Singles Chart to a fourth consecutive week. The single sung by HUNTR/X, a fictional K-pop girl group, became the first number 1 K-Pop song to top the UK singles chart since PSY's 'Gangnam Style' in 2012.The movie centers on HUNTR/X, whose members live double lives as demon hunters, a hook that has translated into fervent fandom engagement and soundtrack replay value since release. That hybridised approach, aligning choreography-first pop aesthetics with narrative cues, has helped 'Golden' find staying power beyond core K-pop circles.Sustained streaming, sync-driven discovery from key film scenes, and community amplification have formed the backbone of the single's continued dominance. With the film's cultural footprint still expanding, chart watchers expect the track's ceiling to be set by ongoing playlisting and incremental radio support-factors that historically extend multi-week runs.
