🎤 Weekly Chart Commentary – September 6, 2025
“Golden” is still golden. HUNTR/X’s all star lineup of EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI scores back-to-back weeks at No. 1 with 10 weeks on the list in total, and it does so with extra shine thanks to Biggest Gain in Digital Sales.
The song has reached that sweet place where the sales, the streams, the pop radio familiarity all converge, and there isn’t an obvious usurper lurking in the wings to dislodge it, at least not this week.
The remaining Top 6 is a lesson in consistency. Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” holds steady at No. 2, Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae’s “What I Want” also holds steady at No. 3, still showing the longevity of the No. 1 debut on May 31.
Saja Boys hold their summer stride with a double appearance, “Your Idol” at No. 4 holding steady and “Soda Pop” comfortably at No. 5, so the collective is the rightful owners as power brokers for 2025. Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not” holds its slow burn climb at No. 6, and then finally the ladder breaks.
Sabrina Carpenter jumps 14-7 with “Manchild,” back in the Top 10 for the song that already showed its No. 1 potential earlier this season. Teddy Swims endurance epic “Lose Control” at No. 8 continues to rewrite longevity guidelines at 106 weeks. HUNTR/X scores its second Top 10 with “How It’s Done” at No. 9, and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars “Die With A Smile” at No. 10 completes the Top 10 for the week that is simultaneously brand new and totally locked.
If there is a weekly headline just beneath the marquee, it’s the footprint of Morgan Wallen. He is everywhere else besides “What I Want” all the way at No. 3. “Just In Case” at No. 12, “I Got Better” at No. 18, “Love Somebody” at No. 46, “Miami” with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross at No. 65, “Superman” at No. 80, “TN” at No. 95, and “I’m The Problem” at No. 16.
That’s eight active entries, an album era behaving like a playlist universe. Pop has generated the noisiest headlines all summer, but country’s brightest star is quietly calling the undercard shots.
Week’s Biggest stories in momentum are marked with plaques. “Hell At Night” by BigXthaPlug Featuring Ella Langley blows 61 to 35 and takes Biggest Gain in Streams.
It’s the kind of jump from triple zeros to the middle teens that says the algorithm deities have smiled upon the record, and country rap’s crossover appeal might belong to this record for the next few frames.
Bailey Zimmerman and Luke Combs grab Biggest Gain in Airplay as “Backup Plan” moves 34 to 30. That looks unimposing on the page, but radio-driven gains often turn to multi week Top 20 runs when recurrent turn over goes online. In other news, Mariah the Scientist’s team has real momentum.
“Is It A Crime” blows up 95 to 59 with Kali Uchis also along for the ride, while the new song “Sacrifice” comes in later in the pack at No. 88 to begin the two front campaign.
There’s power in the 20s this week. Benson Boone’s “Mystical Magical” propels 30 to 27, Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” at No. 26 holds months after its No. 1 run, and Billie Eilish’s “Birds Of A Feather” at No. 25 is the perennial that refuses to leave, 67 weeks in the book and still a playlist staple on the weekends.
Shaboozey’s dual stack says all you need to know about format flexibility. His previous No. 1 “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at No. 13 holds steady, and “Good News” at No. 14 keeps his footprint big across streaming and country radio.
Top new entry goes to Doja Cat, who slips in at No. 28 with “Jealous Type.” It’s a clean, streamlined introduction, high enough to register with all programmers, low enough to give room to gain a rise to the teens.
Based on her record, that next gain often follows shortly after when TikTok and Rhythmic radio overlap. K pop also finds its weekly stake. Stray Kids make a formidable splash at No. 52 with “Ceremony,” while TWICE’s world remains active.
JEONGYEON, JIHYO, and CHAEYOUNG’s trio track “Takedown” jumps up to the No. 50 high point for the song, and “Strategy” by the full group rests just one number back at No. 51.
Add in BLACKPINK’s “Jump” at No. 78 and the revitalized KATSEYE movement, “Gabriela” reaches No. 63 and “Gnarly” breaks back in at No. 98, and you have the busy lane where several acts jostle each other up.
Reentries and slow climbs often unveil the next sleeper hit’s location. Sombr’s “12 To 12” reenters at No. 60 and could bank the afterglow of “Back To Friends” at No. 31 and “Undressed” to its current high of No. 24, which collectively suggest a sticky word of mouth arc rather than one-week spike.
Russell Dickerson’s “Happen To Me” rebounds to a new high to No. 38 in week 19, the very type of strong country pop grinder that creeps to the Top 20 when the high profile records burn off.
Myles Smith at No. 76 and Coldplay at No. 77 also hit new heights, evidence that adult leaning streams and AC radio are still moving needles in September.
On the pop heritage front, “Die With A Smile” at 54 weeks, “APT.” by ROSE & Bruno Mars at 45 weeks, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” at 83 weeks keep flying the idea that a hit would remain for a year or even longer. And then there’s Teddy Swims.
One hundred six weeks for “Lose Control” at No. 8 is absurd statistics in any decade. Two years on, it behaves like a catalog hit that never left modern rotation.
It is uncommon to witness so old a song yet still remaining in the Top 10, but each week it lets you know the public holds on to the things it wants.
Hip hop, after quiet summer near the apex, registers pulsates deeper on the list. Drake’s “What Did I Miss?” reaches No. 48, the Drake-Central Cee collaboration “Which One” bobs at No. 84, and the Offset-Gunna “Different Species” debuts at No. 73.
That debut goes either way but appears healthy given release timing. Tyler, the Creator stumbles two songs in the mid-to-low area, at Nos. 53 and 96, an indication the album cut environment is still robust when the fan base is active.
Country is a broad-shouldered presence across the 30s through the 90s. Riley Green contributes two, “Worst Way” at No. 40 and the collaborative “Don’t Mind If I Do” at No. 69.
Thomas Rhett holds steady at No. 42, Parker McCollum brings up the rear at No. 100, and Scotty McCreery teams with Hootie and the Blowfish at No. 47 for an album that reads as though the tailgate algorithm has descended on music. Lainey Wilson’s “Somewhere Over Laredo” at No. 54 is a slow burn but after eight weeks keeps inching. Some charts to circle going into next week’s jumps.
Doja Cat’s “Jealous Type” at No. 28 has the strongest runway into the teens. “Hell At Night” at No. 35 is the week’s momentum monster. There is potential for Stray Kids’ “Ceremony” at No. 52 to swoop in on a not so filled corridor between 41-50 if fan frenzy holds up.
Circle Mariah the Scientist’s double play for sure. When one record leap frogs 36 spots and the other debuts the same week, that generally indicates the algorithm tide is rising through the entire catalog. Neutral for now. Sticky No. 1 for the foreseeable future.
Top 6 locked in tight. Multiple lanes throughout country, K pop, alt pop, hip hop birthing legit climbers rather than week long bubbles. September brings with it the chart appearing set on top, smooth elsewhere, just how fall introductions manage to permeate the market, slowly at the outset, all at once thereafter.
