🎤 Weekly Chart Commentary – OCTOBER 4, 2025
“Golden” maintains its vice-like hold on No One, now seemingly the center of mass for the entire list. At fourteen weeks in, HUNTR X featuring EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI isn’t just holding on; they’re dictating the tone of the season.
Aggressive hooks on the record paired with shiny productions by 24, TEDDY, IDO, and Ian Eisendrath create that elusive club punch fused with cast-iron pop savvy that still doesn’t get old much after its peak date for the August sixteen-highest first land here first landed. Momentum intact.
Just attendant was Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” sticking in the runner up range. Thirty three weeks in and tripe Platinum, the song is slow burn pop incarnate longer legs than short sprint propulsion.
It relinquished Number One in early June but the longevity is the story. Radio can’t get enough, the fans sing every word, and now it rests securely in that playlist standard range where streaming maintains ground as newer hit forages.
Cleanest week rise to the marquee belongs to Saja Boys, up a new heights to Number Three with “Soda Pop” from Number Five. Visva and Republic pipeline running like a hot hit factory.
Same network drives several HUNTR X charters this week, and the unifying tissue, authors as Vince and KUSH and producers 24 and Eisendrath make the chart a kind of shared universe.
Country maintains its foot on the petal at Number Four with Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae on “What I Want.” It came in at Number One on May thirty one and still doesn’t feel anywhere; a cross-format handshake that hasn’t gotten old.
Wallen’s bench earns him deeper cred than anyone else this week. “I Got Better” returns to a Seasonal spot ad Number Eleven, “Just In Case” rides easy at Number Eighteen, “I Am The Problem” stays entrenched at Number Twenty Four, and “Twenty Cigarettes” clings tight at Number Ninety One. When one record crashes out, another takes its place. That’s what a legitimate album cycle looks like.
Another big pop engine is Sabrina Carpenter. “Manchild” stays at Number Six after a No One debut on June twenty one, the newer “Tears” stays at Number Seventeen.
Album cut gravity is a real thing. “When Did You Get Hot” stays at Number Thirty Two, “House Tour” stays at Number Seventy One. Even as further down tracks like “Go Go Juice” at Number Eighty Eight, “Sugar Talking” at Number Ninety Four, “My Man On Willpower” at Number Ninety Five, and “Goodbye” at Number Ninety Seven fade off towards the bottom quarter, they make the run sound lived in. Fans are not cherry picking some one single, they live in the project.
The old marthoners continue to appear. Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” at Seven in week one hundred ten maintains its iron man run. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars re-enter the Top Ten with “Die With A Smile” at Ten in week fifty eight as a gentle word that torch duets can patiently outlive trends. Gaga’s doubledipping “The Dead Dance” at Sixty holds more theatrics, more leftfield, still catchy.
Justin Bieber takes up two spots, “Daisies” at Eight and “Yukon” at Thirty Five, a dual personality chart run with a single track usable for top level pop playlist material and after dark Reply All headphones listening sessions.
Benson Boone reflects that dual song imprint with “Beautiful Things” at Fourteen and “Sorry I Am Here For Someone Else” at Thirty Nine, both also still causing real harm on stream.
The week’s stealth narrative is sombr. “Undressed” captures a new high at Number Sixteen, “Back To Friends” holds back at Number Twenty Three, and “Twelve To Twelve” holds back at Number Forty Eight. Not any of these sound much like a typical blockbuster, but as a whole they equate to a signature sound that fans can’t stop coming back to, a gradual total audience buildup over a series of outings instead of a massive one-hit wonder. That’s a wonderful omen for fourth quarter tour action as well as next summer’s fest season.
Hip hop and R and B receive a boost by some nicely timed features. Scotty McCreery and Hootie and The Blowfish top their highest week with “Bottle Rockets” at Thirty Three.
It’s a savvy nostalgia stroke that’s never tricksome. In the pop rap corner, BigXthaPlug stays put with “All The Way” at Thirty Six after twenty five weeks and a Platinum certification, and collaborates with Ella Langley on “Hell At Night” at Forty Nine.
In the meanwhile, Max McNown’s “Better Me For You Brown Eyes” demonstrates its streaming center at Seventy Two after a Forty Five peak, a healthy run for a song that gained most of its ground off the mainlines of the pop lanes.
And then there is Cardi B. Call it an album surge, a chart flurry, or just a note of her scale but this is the week Atlantic unleashes the floodgates. “Safe” enters as the top debut on Number Twenty Six with Kehlani.
“Magnet” enters on Number Thirty Seven. “Pretty and Petty” settles on Forty Three. “Pick It Up” featuring Selena Gomez enters on Forty Five. “Hello” enters on Forty Sixth spot and “Dead” featuring Summer Walker enters Forty Seventh spot.
The stream just keeps on flowing with “Bodega Baddie” on Fifty Threerd spot “What’s Goin On” featuring Lizzo on Sixty Third spot “ErrTime” on Sixty Fifth spot a reentry on “Imaginary Playerz” on Sixty Sixth spot “Man Of Your Word” featuring Dougie F on Seventieth spot “Shower Tears” featuring Summer Walker on Eightyh first spot “Principal” featuring Janet Jackson on Ninetieth spot That is a takeover in every sense.
Tack on “Outside” shooting up Ninetieth Three spot on Forty Second spot with a streaming gain on this week’s largest tally and the story writes itself. Cardi just flipped the switch on a complete era release with features set for every lane across every range set for a range that runs the full scope of R and B across Pop across Legacy cross over that runs across ages Expect the winners across this set to thicken up on a couple two or three frames on two or a trio more frames At this moment this a story on just sheer surface area on attention.
K pop energy remains red hot. TWUCE spin off momentum maintains “Takedown” by Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung at Position Sixty Eight following a Position Fifty hot spot, as “Strategy” stays at Position Sixty Nine.
Over on the Visva side, the HUNTR X vortex brings on “What It Sounds Like” at Position Twenty One and the alternate “Takedown” at Position Twenty Nine, completing a label mini domination that complements the Number One flagship nicely. Some catalog weirds provide much needed texture.
d4vd’s “Romantic Homicide” returns on the Number Thirty Eight nearly thirty two months after its initial two thousand twenty two run, evidence that short form vidéo smash hits are not one and done. They’re embers that burn when the moment becomes correct.
Billie Eilish’s “Wildflower” ascends to Number Sixty One in week sixty seven, the type of tail end only an A list center provides. Coldplay’s “Sparks” on Number Eighty Six maintains its slow glide courtesy tour afterglow as well as algorithmic comfort music.
Should you wish next week’s probable raisers, put a circle around Kehlani’s “Folded” at Twenty Two, a new peak, and Chris Brown featuring Bryson Tiller on “It Depends” at Thirty One, a top airplay gainer. Watch for a rise on Jelly Roll’s “Heart Of Stone” on Sixty Four and the Marshmello featuring Jelly Roll collaborative “Holy Water” on Ninety. With country crossing still being favorable, both can still rise.
Bottom line, “Golden” is still the title, “Ordinary” the pulse, and the album volley by Cardi the twist that will frame these next few issues.
The leaves changing means the board expands as the board wides out on pop, country, R and B, K pop, and alt leaning singer songwriter sharing space on top. It is a busy board not a cluttered board. Hits are acting like hits as the others wait for the correct week to punch.
