Top of the Pops, 23rd October 2025

It's fair to say that the charts are female-dominated at the moment, but it's rare for every song on Top of the Pops to be female-led. It's no bad thing, though - especially this week when there are exciting new hits for Jisoo and especially Sienna Spiro, plus returning heavyweights RAYE and Sabrina Carpenter.

Tinashe finally appears with an exclusive solo version of No Broke Boys, and there's an equally special double showing from Olivia Dean, who has three songs in the top ten just now. But they're not as high up as the three songs of Taylor Swift - the week belongs to her once again.

Debuts: Jisoo, Sienna Spiro

Jisoo ft. ZAYN - Eyes Closed

In at number 37

Tinashe - No Broke Boys

Up 2 to number 18

Sienna Spiro - Die On This Hill

Highest New Entry - In at number 26

RAYE - Where Is My Husband?

Up 1 to number 5

K-Pop Demon Hunters - How It's Done

Back in at number 12

Sabrina Carpenter - Tears

Up 2 to number 11

Olivia Dean - Nice To Each Other / So Easy (To Fall In Love)

Up 1 to number 7 / Up 4 to number 8

Second week at number 1

This week belongs, of course, to Taylor Swift, who performs the new songs that have taken their place in the top 3 chart positions. Slightly more low-key congratulations to Oskar Med K, who has the next highest-placed chart climber down at number 29.

So we've got an eclectic assortment from the lower chart reaches, including a Wuthering Heights-powered Charli XCX, perennial bubbler-under Tame Impala, friends of the show D-Block Europe, and a bizarre collaboration between Fred Again and Amyl and the Sniffers.

All change in the chart this week: the K-Poppers are unseated at the top by none other than the woman of the year Olivia Dean - richly deserved. There are also big new entries from Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter and Doja Cat, and RAYE has a full band reprise of the song that made her, Escapism.

Top of the Pops, 2nd October 2025
