The film was released on\u00a0Netflix\u00a0on June 20.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGolden\u201d will vault from No. 81 to No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> that will be posted tomorrow, which makes it the highest ranking of seven songs from the soundtrack.

\n\t\u201cGolden\u201d is vying to become the first song from an animated film to receive an Oscar nomination since \u201cDos Oruguitas\u201d from Encanto<\/em>, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda<\/a>, which was nominated four years ago.<\/p>\n
