NEW YORK (AP) – The Billboard Hot 100 chart dated Aug. 23, 2025, features a dramatic blend of chart veterans and soundtrack sensations. Alex Warren’s Ordinary holds firm at No. 1 for a milestone 10th week, reaffirming its status as the summer’s defining hit. Meanwhile, multiple tracks from the wildly popular Netflix animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters continue to make their own mark.
No. 10 — Saja Boys, “Soda Pop (From K-Pop Demon Hunters)”
A colorful, effervescent entry just squeaks into the Top 10, driven primarily by streaming through the massive popularity of K-Pop Demon Hunters. The soundtrack continues to resonate long after the movie’s release.
No. 9 — Shaboozey, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”
Shaboozey’s country-rap mashup remains a fixture, its catchy refrain keeping it afloat near the Top 10 as it continues to appeal across genre lines.
No. 8 — Morgan Wallen, “Just In Case”
Climbing into the Top 10 yet again, Wallen’s introspective country ballad continues its steady climb, showing that storytelling remains his strength.
No. 7 — Teddy Swims, “Lose Control”
Teddy Swims’s soulful vocals and emotional delivery continue to attract streaming and radio attention, anchoring it firmly at No. 7.
No. 6 — Justin Bieber, “Daisies”
“Daisies” continues its slow burn into the Top 10, reflecting Bieber’s enduring pop appeal and consistent airplay across multiple formats.
No. 5 — Ravyn Lenae, “Love Me Not”
Lenae achieves her first-ever Top 5 placement, with her moody, R&B-tinged track gaining momentum through strong streaming performance.
No. 4 — Saja Boys, “Your Idol (From K-Pop Demon Hunters)”
Another standout from the animated hit, “Your Idol” climbs to No. 4, cementing the soundtrack’s multi-track dominance within the Top 10.
No. 3 — Morgan Wallen & Tate McRae, “What I Want”
This unexpected yet seamless country-pop collaboration debuts at No. 3. Wallen and McRae’s chemistry and cross-genre appeal have clearly landed with audiences.
No. 2 — HUNTR/X with “Golden (From K-Pop Demon Hunters)”
“Golden” slips to No. 2 but counters it by being declared the season’s true “Song of the Summer.” The fictional animated group HUNTR/X—voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI—has captivated listeners worldwide, marking the first time a girl group has reached No. 1 since Destiny’s Child in 2001.
No. 1 — Alex Warren, “Ordinary”
“Ordinary” remains undefeated, now securing its 10th week atop the Hot 100. The song, a heartfelt ballad dedicated to Warren’s wife, has become a ubiquitous presence from radio to TikTok. Despite its commercial dominance, critics remain divided—some praise the emotional resonance, while others dismiss it as overly generic.
Billboard attributes the song’s remarkable longevity to a powerful combination of streaming, strong airplay (especially through iHeartMedia), and Warren’s savvy use of social media platforms.
