Top of the Pops, 28th August 2025

The K-Pop Demon Hunters chart onslaught continues: they remain at number 1, and other songs such as Your Idol continue to be magnetically drawn towards the chart's upper placings. Not only that, girl group Twice, who've previously been heard under the Demon Hunters umbrella, are now here performing in their own right.

In non-K-pop news, the highest new entry is another strong showing by the new golden girl Olivia Dean, Gunna and Burna Boy charge into the top 40, and there's a double bill from the quietly-very-successful-just-now Sombr.
