Billboard Hot 100: The Top 10 Songs of the Week (October 4, 2025)

For the week of October 4, 2025, the Billboard Hot 100 chart showcases a mix of enduring hits and fresh contenders that reflect the current state of pop music. A notable trend is the longevity of popular tracks, with Teddy Swims' "Lose Control" continuing its record-breaking chart run and several 2024 hits still holding strong in the top 10. However, the most dominant story of the week comes from the animated film KPop Demon Hunters, whose soundtrack has landed multiple songs in the top five, including the No. 1 single "Golden" and the villainous anthem "Your Idol." Alongside these cinematic smashes, artists like Alex Warren, Sabrina Carpenter, and Justin Bieber round out the chart with personal ballads, witty synth-pop, and vulnerable alternative-pop tracks, proving that variety and staying power are key ingredients for success on the Hot 100.

#1

"Golden" by HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna & REI AMI): The seventh track on the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack spends its seventh week at No. 1. The K-pop inspired song is an upbeat and inspirational tune with a subtle, deeper meaning, serving as the film's "I want" song. It reached the top spot after a steady climb and has remained dominant, setting a record for the longest-leading hit by an animated act on the chart.

#2

"Ordinary" by Alex Warren: This emotional, worship music-inspired ballad was written for his wife, Kouvr Annon, and transforms the everyday aspects of their life into something extraordinary. "Ordinary" has been a fixture on the charts for months, having previously spent ten weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 earlier in 2025. It also led the Songs of the Summer chart for 2025 and broke the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Pop Airplay chart. On the Hot 100 dated October 4, it remains in the No. 2 spot.

#3

"Soda Pop" by Saja Boys: The second major hit from the fictional boy band in KPop Demon Hunters, this "super bubblegum-y" track has a sinister double meaning hinting at the Saja Boys' true demonic nature. After debuting on the Hot 100 at No. 10 in August, it has climbed its way to a new peak of No. 3 for the week dated October 4.

#4

"What I Want" by Morgan Wallen featuring Tate McRae: This pop-country ballad explores a temporary, no-strings-attached relationship between two people who are emotionally guarded. The song debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in May 2025 and spent time leading both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts. It has since settled into the top 5, holding steady at the No. 4 spot for the week dated October 4.

#5

"Your Idol" by Saja Boys: Also from KPop Demon Hunters, this is a darker, more menacing villain's anthem compared to the band's other hit, "Soda Pop". It first reached the top 5 during its run and, for the week dated October 4, holds the No. 5 spot after moving up one position.

#6

"Manchild" by Sabrina Carpenter: A country-influenced synth-pop track, "Manchild" is a witty takedown of an immature ex-boyfriend. The song, which was released in June 2025, debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and marks Carpenter's second chart-topper. For the week of October 4, it has moved down to the No. 6 spot.

#7

"Lose Control" by Teddy Swims: This soulful R&B ballad about addiction and codependency is the longest-charting song in the history of the Billboard Hot 100. It debuted in August 2023, spent a week at No. 1 in March 2024, and has spent over 100 weeks on the chart. Its longevity is remarkable, and it is ranked at No. 7 for the week of October 4.

#8

"Daisies" by Justin Bieber: An alternative-pop track reflecting on his marriage, "Daisies" debuted at No. 2 on the Hot 100 in July 2025 and helped him land 16 songs from his album Swag on the chart. As of October 4, the track remains in the No. 8 position.

#9

"Love Me Not" by Ravyn Lenae: This soulful, indie-rock-influenced song explores romantic ambivalence and became a breakout hit for Lenae after going viral on TikTok. It first charted in April 2025 and has since spent time in the top 10. For the week dated October 4, it falls to the No. 9 spot.

#10

"Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars: This vintage, melancholic ballad expresses the feeling of being with a soulmate but knowing that life is fleeting. The song debuted at No. 2 in the first week of 2025 and spent time at No. 1 in January and February. Its extensive run in the top 10 is record-breaking for a lead female artist. For the week of October 4, it re-enters the top 10 at No. 10.

Looking at the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of October 4, 2025, reveals a music landscape defined by a blend of persistent chart-dominators, film soundtrack success, and emotional pop ballads. While animated movie soundtracks, most notably KPop Demon Hunters, continue to heavily influence the top tier with multiple chart hits, proven artists like Alex Warren and Sabrina Carpenter maintain a strong presence with popular singles that have enjoyed long chart runs.
