New finds this week

In the many genres of music, they all tie together in a list based on streams and digital downloads known as the Billboard Hot 100.  People are brought together by music whether it’s rap, pop, rock, country, indie, etc. The following songs were taken from the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100 as of 9/20/25.

1. “Golden” by HUNTR/X

For this song being number one, I personally have never heard of it before. After taking a listen, I don’t recall ever hearing it. This song is most likely popular in other countries and regions. It has a good beat to it which makes sense because it has so many streams.

2. “Ordinary” by Alex Warren

The second this song comes on, most people know what it is. This song blew up first on TikTok because Alex Warren used to be a part of the Hype House back in 2020. He speaks about how he wrote this song for his now-wife and how she is beyond “ordinary” and, for that reason, why he carries so much love for her. While this song is played constantly on TikTok and the radio, it stays lingering in all of our heads with the catchy lyrics.

3. “Tears” by Sabrina Carpenter

This song is a big hit on Sabrina’s most recent album Man’s Best Friend. It’s about the emotional aftermath of a breakup. The lyrics describe the singer’s struggle to move on from a past relationship, highlighting the lingering pain and difficulty of letting go. The song captures the bittersweet feeling of nostalgia and vulnerability of dealing with heartbreak.

4. “Manchild” by Sabrina Carpenter

The single Manchild was also featured on Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend. It talks about her partner in a relationship being immature. Sabrina uses witty and direct lyrics to call out her exes on their behavior. Sabrina writes her songs about her experiences, but also so that her listeners can relate and resonate if they have similar situations.

5. “Your Idol” by Saja Boys

“Your Idol” blends hyperpop with aggressive electronic elements. This song was featured in the new Netflix movie K-Pop Demon Hunters. Its chaotic energy and fast tempo made it a memorable part of the film’s soundtrack. Because of its catchy and chaotic energy, it’s popular with many different age groups.

6. “Soda Pop” by Saja Boys

This is another bright, upbeat K-pop track from K-pop Demon Hunters. On the surface, it sounds like a fun love song full of fizzy, sweet soda imagery. In the story, though, it has a darker twist – the fictional boy band uses it to lure fans in so that they can steal their souls. Musically, it has a catchy dance-pop style with playful hooks, making it both a highlight in the soundtrack and a tool of deception in the film.

7. “What I Want” by Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae

This song dives into the complicated feelings of wanting someone who might not be good for you. Wallen and McRae blend their signature country and pop vibes, respectively, showing the emotional struggle of wanting something real even when it’s complicated.

8. “Love Me Not” by Ravyn Lenae

Ravyn Lenae’s song explores the complexities of a relationship where one experiences either unconditional love or unattainable love. Her lyrics convey a sense of longing, questioning the nature of affection. Lenae’s ethereal vocals and the song’s production enhance the emotional depth tied to the song.

9. “How It‘s Done” by HUNTR/X

This is a high energy intro song from K-pop Demon Hunters. Performed by the film’s heroine idol group, it mixes bold rap and vocals with EDM/trap beats. In the story, the track plays during an early demon battle, showing how the girls balance being glamourous pop stars and fierce fighters. The lyrics are confident and empowering, declaring that HUNTR/X will show everyone “how it’s done” while facing both supernatural threats and pressures of fame.

10. “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims

This song was released back in 2023 and there’s no shock for why it remains in the top 10. First becoming popular on TikTok, this song blew up all over the world.  The lyrics talk about one’s challenges that they face with themselves and how he faces them. Additionally, the lyrics may imply that the singer is talking about a girl and their breakup.
