Top of the Pops, 18th September 2025

Top of the Pops, 11th September 2025

It's one of those weeks where the chart tides are ebbing, meaning that several hits from outside the top 40 get featured. We've got Kehlani, Denon Reed and Cru2, and in keeping with the current K-Pop trend, KATSEYE - not all Korean, but very much in the K tradition.

The spotlight for the week, though, has to be on the big new entry for last year's queen Sabrina Carpenter. Plus for those who like their music critically acclaimed, a rare appearance from Tyler The Creator.

Debuts: Denon Reed, Cru2

KATSEYE - Gabriela

Up 7 to number 46

Sabrina Carpenter - Tears

Highest New Entry - In at number 3

Kehlani - Folded

Up 12 to number 47

Denon Reed and Cru2 - Let Him Go

Up 4 to number 44

Tyler The Creator - Sugar On My Tongue

Up 12 to number 35

From The Vault: Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc

Twice - Strategy

Top of the Pops, 4th September 2025

If anything might overshadow the K-Pop Demon Hunters megastory it's surely got to be the return of Rihanna - only at number 40, but still. Charting higher and maybe arguably even a bigger star these days is Doja Cat, and Olivia Dean, with older hit Dive this time, makes it sort of three generations of pop queens.

Drake isn't here this week but his collaborator Central Cee delivers an exclusive solo version of Which One, there's the first sighting of Stray Kids in a couple of years, and King Ed Sheeran pops up too.

Debuts: None

Ed Sheeran - A Little More

Up 3 to number 23

Rihanna - Breakin' Dishes

In at number 40

Doja Cat - Jealous Type

Highest New Entry - In at number 13

Stray Kids - Ceremony

In at number 37

Olivia Dean - Dive

Back in at number 31

From The Vault: Coldplay - Viva La Vida

Back in at number 20

Central Cee - Which One

Up 2 to number 14

K-Pop Demon Hunters - Golden

Fourth week at number 1
