Before ‘Golden,’ Here Are 25 Other Songs That Set Oscar Records

The recent win of “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters at the 98th Oscars sends shockwaves through the music industry, marking a historic milestone for K-pop. Not only does it claim the title of the first K-pop song to snag an Academy Award for Best Original Song, but it also breaks records by being the first to do so with more than four credited writers—seven in total!

This win shatters the previous limitations where only songs with four or fewer writers had received the honor. Notably, this means that despite the song's impressive collaboration, not all writers will take home individual trophies due to the Academy's four-statuette cap for this category. “Golden” isn’t just making headlines for its incredible milestone; it joins the ranks of legendary songs like “Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)” and “Shallow,” proving that collaboration in songwriting can lead to extraordinary achievements.

With K-pop continually pushing boundaries, it’ll be exciting to see what this genre accomplishes next!
