🎤 Weekly Chart Commentary – July 19, 2025
Alex Warren rules again. Drake opens strongly. Morgan Wallen keeps chart streak going.
There’s a lot happening on this week’s chart, but one thing remains consistent: Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” is once again the No. 1 song in the country. For the 22nd consecutive week, Warren’s emotional pop smash holds steady at the top.
It’s a rare feat in the modern chart era, especially for a song that had such a slow burn. After quietly climbing into the top 10 earlier this year, “Ordinary” became anything but.
The Platinum-certified single continues to resonate with listeners thanks to its raw lyrics, minimalistic production by A.Yaron, and Warren’s heartfelt delivery. The fans clearly aren’t done with this one.
Drake bursts in at No. 2 with “What Did I Miss?”, a surprise drop that fulfilled the buzz. The Toronto titan collaborates with a star-studded list of producers—London Cyr, Tay Keith, OZ, and others—for a dark, reflective song that sees him ruminating on lost opportunities, fame’s price tag, and his tortured relationships.
It’s vintage Drake in format, but with just enough production development to render it new. It’s his highest-debuting song of the year thus far and suggests a more inward direction for whatever project he releases soon.
Sliding in at No. 3 is “What I Want” by Morgan Wallen with Tate McRae, which falls a spot after reaching No. 1 two weeks ago. The country-pop collaboration was a slow-growing summer hit that meshed Wallen’s Southern edge with McRae’s silky tones. Wallen seems almost ubiquitous on the chart these days, with eight tracks in the Top 50 this week alone.
Wallen also holds the No. 4 position with “Just In Case”, a fan favorite that’s proven remarkably sticky, holding in the Top 5 for over a month. Both this and “What I Want” benefit from Charlie Handsome’s polished production and Wallen’s ability to navigate pop-country crossover territory without sounding forced.
Coming in at No. 5 is one of the year’s most enduring singles, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” now in its 65th week. No typo—this monster of a track has lingered for well more than a year now and still finds a spot in the Top 5.
It’s Platinum x5 and growing. Life for the track has taken root through streaming, TikTok, and country playlists, which makes Shaboozey a latter-day chart phenomenon.
A major mover this week is “Golden” by HUNTR/X, which rockets from No. 23 to No. 6. Featuring EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI, the genre-bending collective blends pop, R&B, and alt-electronic in a way that sounds completely fresh.
This song might’ve felt left-field a few years ago, but in today’s streaming environment, niche doesn’t stay niche for long. “Golden” is their highest-charting hit to date and a true breakthrough moment.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” drops to No. 7, but don’t count it out. It was a steady performer for 33 weeks since April, when it was released.
As a Marvin Gaye-sampling song, with a flow of jazz-rap beats and rhymes that are poetic, “Luther” is more a critical darling than a radio anthem. Still, it’s breached the highest echelon of the Hot 100—no small feat, given the genre-specific nature of a field of rapid-fire hooks.
Morgan Wallen shows up yet again at No. 8 with “I’m The Problem”. At this point, you could fill an entire chart commentary just analyzing his hold on this week’s rankings. This track, with production by Joey Moi and Charlie Handsome, continues his theme of self-reflection wrapped in catchy hooks.
Teddy Swims remains solid at No. 9 with “Lose Control,” which now anchors the chart for a staggering 99 weeks. It’s Platinum x6 and doesn’t appear to be going anywhere from the Top 10 anytime soon.
In a day when most tunes disappear from the chart after 12 weeks, the endurance here is remarkable. Swims’ rough, rich bar voice coupled with profoundly emotional lyrics clearly hit a long-term nerve.
Rounding off our Top 10 is Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile”.
It is one of those duets that could’ve gone wrong on weaker vocals—but not theirs. It mixes Gaga’s stage theatricality with Mars’ old-soul sophistication that has stolen the hearts of the two artists’ respective fans. It was on the chart for 47 weeks, becoming one of the longest duets of the decade.
Sabrina Carpenter has two singles simmering just outside the Top 10: “Manchild” at No. 11 and “Espresso” at No. 19. Carpenter, clearly having long since graduated from former Disney-star fame, is now a reliable hitmaker in her own right.
Post Malone, Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help” remains at No. 14, still climbing. Do not be surprised to see that collaboration break back up the chart again now that that rumored remix is on the way.
Billie Eilish, “Birds Of A Feather”, remains steady at No. 18. It’s 60 weeks now, and Billie’s airy sadness is still having an impact.
Newcomers Saja Boys and sombr are rising rapidly, each with multiple entries. Keep an eye on these genre-blenders who are thriving thanks to grassroots TikTok traction.
This week’s Top 10 is a picture of what the current pop scene is: a country-hip-hop-alternative R&B genre-bending mixed bag. Top of the chart for Alex Warren is a testament to a digital-first era where emotional truth can still triumph. Drake is still unpredictable but effective. Morgan Wallen is having a marathon while newer faces such as HUNTR/X and Teddy Swims are giving a new voice to long-tail market success and niche sounds being more effective than before. Whether Drake dislodges Alex Warren or “Ordinary” gets to week 23 at No. 1 remains to be seen, but either way, the rivalries are fierce, the styles are varied, and the charts never seemed more vibrant.
