Alex Warren’s ‘Ordinary’ No. 1, Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Manchild’ Surging on Billboard’s Songs of the Summer Chart
Here's a July 4 check-in on the summer’s biggest hits so far.
What will be the No. 1 song of the summer of 2025? As of July 4, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” maintains its lead in the race, per Billboard’s Songs of the Summer chart.
The 20-position Songs of the Summer running tally tracks the most popular titles based on cumulative performance on the weekly streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100 chart from Memorial Day through Labor Day (this year encompassing charts dated June 7 through Sept. 6). At the end of the season, the top song of the summer will be revealed.
(Titles that appeared on the 2024 Songs of the Summer chart or peaked on the Hot 100 during or before summer 2024 are ineligible to appear on this year’s Songs of the Summer ranking.)
“Ordinary” has ruled Songs of the Summer for four of the five weeks since the survey returned this season. It added a fourth frame atop the latest, July 5-dated Hot 100.
Morgan Wallen boasts the next two songs on the Songs of the Summer chart at the July 4 mark — “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae (No. 2), and “Just in Case” (No. 3) — while his “I’m the Problem” places at No. 5. Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” is at No. 4.
Also notably, rounding out the Songs of the Summer top 10, Leon Thomas’ Hot R&B Songs leader “Mutt” ranks at its No. 10 high.
Among hits scaling the Songs of the Summer survey beyond the top 10, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” bounds 16-11 — after it soared in at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in June; Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not” lifts 19-17; and Benson Boone’s “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” debuts at No. 19.
