Music from The Summer I Turned Pretty leads Billboard’s Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), for August 2025 — its second month in a row at No. 1 — as the Amazon Prime Video show’s third and final season continued to air throughout the month.
Rankings for the Top TV Songs chart are based on song and show data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of this August.
The Summer I Turned Pretty’s recent dominance began in July (the series’ third and final season premiered July 16), with the show snagging eight of the 10 positions, paced by Chappell Roan’s “Hot To Go!,” on that month’s chart.
This time around, it’s Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic” that rules the tally following a The Summer I Turned Pretty synch, leading an August chart that features music from the show in the top three and again with eight of the 10 positions.
1970’s “Into the Mystic,” featured in the season’s fifth episode (Aug. 6), racked up 10.3 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 2,000 downloads in August, according to Luminate.
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Juno” and Taylor Swift’s “loml,” both from the Aug. 20 episode, follow at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. “Juno,” which peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024, earned 12.8 million streams this August, while “loml,” No. 12 on the Hot 100 last year, accumulated 8.3 million streams and sold 1,000.
In July, The Summer I Turned Pretty’s quest to occupy the entire Top TV Songs chart was thwarted by songs from And Just Like That… and Untamed. This time, it’s Wednesday and Alien: Earth, which feature tracks that rank at Nos. 4 and 10, respectively.
For Netflix’s Wednesday, Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark” is the runaway success from the second season’s Aug. 6 premiere, bowing at No. 4 with 9.2 million streams and 1,000 paid downloads. As for FX/Hulu’s Alien: Earth, Tool’s “Stinkfist” represents the series at No. 10 (3.5 million streams, 1,000 sold).
The Summer I Turned Pretty will have another crack at a clean sweep, though; the series’ final three episodes aired in September.

America’s Got Talent has crowned a new winner, and her name is Jessica Sanchez. The 30-year-old singer capped off a moving, decades-long comeback journey on Wednesday night (Sept. 24) and edged out freestyle rapper Chris Turner to win AGT’s 20th season. Sanchez had first auditioned for the show back in 2006 when she was a kid and told Billboard her hard-won emotional victory came after a lifelong dream of wanting to win the legendary talent competition.
“This has been 20 years in the making for me,” Sanchez tells Billboard. “I was on season one when I was ten years old, and just going through all those years of feeling rejected and feeling like a failure, I had to pick myself back up and believe in myself again.”
Sanchez, who embarked on this journey while nine months pregnant, absolutely dominated her last performance on Tuesday night (Sept. 23), running through a moving rendition of Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile.” Judge Sofía Vergara called the performance “perfection,” and clearly, the fans agreed. Sanchez had also joined forces with aerial specialists Sirca Marea for one last performance of “Golden Hour” by JVKE, revisiting a song that snagged her a spot in the Finals.
Sanchez beat out a very strong final 10 that included Mama Duke, Micah Palace, Steve Ray Ladson, Team Recycled, LightWire, Jourdan Blue, Leo High School Choir, and the high-flying Sirca Marea — and, of course, Chris Turner.
Now, with the competition’s $1 million champion’s check in hand, as well as an all-expenses-paid trip to Universal’s new theme park Epic Universe, Sanchez couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter.
Check out Billboard’s chat with Jessica Sanchez below.
You made your first appearance on AGT when you were ten and returned again and won it this time around. What role has AGT played in your upbringing and your childhood? Why did it matter so much this time around for you to go out and try again?
The dream really started on the AGT stage. It was the biggest stage I had ever been on at that time, and it ignited a fire inside of me that just made me want to dream bigger for myself. So after I didn’t make it through, I was devastated and heartbroken, but I didn’t let that stop me. I continued to fight for my dreams, and throughout the 20 years, it’s been really hard trying to find myself as an artist and as a woman.
Now, being 30 years old and becoming a new mom, it’s transformed me. Being centered in my faith, my family, and my support system is super important. Everything has been such a blessing — it’s so similar, the feeling, but it’s definitely been a different journey.
Take me through those final moments on stage. You’re standing there next to Chris, Terry is taking the fans through both of your journeys up until this point. What was going through your mind?
Of course, everybody is there to win, and you have that hope you’re gonna win. But to be there as the final two after seeing all of these amazing talents slowly walk off the stage, you’re just like, “Wow, I really made it this far. After so many years of trying so hard.” I was getting flashbacks of ten-year-old little me. I was soaking up that moment of: “Whatever happens, I’m super proud of myself.” And doing this nine months pregnant with all of the challenges and hoops and hurdles I’ve had to get through…
But then, when I heard my name, I was hit with just a flood of emotions. Like, “Wow, is this really happening?” I’m just sobbing, and I look crazy, sound crazy, but I still cannot believe what has just happened.
What was it like taking this journey while pregnant? What were some challenges you faced as a result?
You know, the breathing, the physical challenges, the emotional challenges of being so pregnant—it has been really challenging. This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through physically and vocally. Even mentally and emotionally, I’m fighting against my hormones! And also my baby growing—it’s amazing that she’s healthy, but it’s pushing up against my diaphragm, so I kinda had to teach myself how to sing again, really.
It was super challenging, and it was discouraging a lot of the time when I felt like I couldn’t get through this song or deliver it like I usually do. But I’m super proud of myself for pushing through and believing that I’m here for a reason, that God has placed me here for a reason, and I’m just gonna do my job and hopefully America loves it.
Was there a moment where you felt it was over for you?
I think throughout the whole process, this whole season of my life, if I could sum it up into one word, it is: “Surrender.” I just completely surrendered my will over to the Lord’s. Being pregnant and doing this — I never would have thought I would be spending my first pregnancy trying to figure out how to sing and perform. It’s been really challenging, but it’s been so beautiful. I think I was just so grateful to be there, especially at the finale, sharing that stage with so many amazing talents. I was just so grateful that I was on stage with them.
How are you feeling now that this lifelong dream has been realized? What are you going to do now?
It just ended so beautifully for me, but I’m now about to enter a new season! My pregnancy is coming to an end, and I’m gonna be a mom. So I’m so excited for that chapter. I know it’s gonna be very challenging, and I’m so ready for it. Also, continuing to make music — I actually wrote a song about my pregnancy called “Two Lines” and released that. That was really intimate to me, but, you know, just continuing to pour myself into music and share that with the world, and hopefully it’s inspiring other people to pursue their dreams.
What message do you have for the young girls who watched you win last night?
Look at my life, really, on the Internet. Coming from season one, ten years old, and pushing through all the years. People have seen my journey online of the failures, of the rejections, of the mistakes I’ve made in my career. But coming to this 20 years later and never giving up on myself: It paid off. I’m still on this beautiful journey, and there are so many things happening. Nothing’s ever gonna be perfect, but the beautiful thing is it’s gonna be your journey.

Wale is hopping into the producer’s chair. Alongside his management company EQT, Folarin is set to executive produce the upcoming crime series Silk, which is based on infamous ’90s hitman Wayne Perry.
The project is still in the early stages of development without a release date or streaming home.
Set in Washington, D.C. from about 1989 to 1993, the crime drama series will follow Wayne “Silk” Perry, who served as an enforcer for notorious NYC drug-dealing kingpin Alpo Martinez. Martinez’s story was brought to life through 2002’s Paid in Full film.
With Silk, Wale wants to focus on properly telling the stories that shaped Washington, D.C. culture. He also acquired ownership in Perry Industries, a production company, which owns the life rights to Wayne Perry.
“D.C. is more than just politics,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “We have a rich, Black history that’s inspired audiences around the world, and it’s time to tell more stories that are based here. That era in D.C. was internationally famous. The Redskins were winning Super Bowls, the mayor was indicted by the FBI, Joe Biden passed the crime bill, and D.C. had 482 homicides — the highest in the country.”
Wale added: “At the same time, our regional genre of go-go was thriving, and Def Jam, the label I’m signed to now, was the first major label to sign a go-go band with a song on the Hot 100 produced by Rick Rubin. There was a lot going on, and we want to weave all of these stories together.”
It’s Wale’s debut as a producer, but he’s previously starred in 2022’s Ambulance and Starz’s American Gods series. The D.C. rapper is also gearing up to release his eighth studio album this fall, which is his first LP with Def Jam.

Osaka is currently hosting its first world’s fair in 55 years since Expo ’70 that took place under the theme of “Progress and Harmony for Mankind.” Throughout the currently ongoing EXPO 2025, various performances have been featured at the EXPO Arena “Matsuri,” and a particularly notable show took place earlier this month at this outdoor venue. The special concert, ZUTOMAYO’s independently produced event entitled OMOTE EXPO 2025 “MEIKŌ WA GUNARUGA GOTOSHI,” was made possible after the band negotiated directly with the Osaka/Kansai EXPO organizers to make it happen.
ZUTOMAYO’s MEIKŌ WA GUNARUGA GOTOSHI (roughly meaning “Celebrated Achievement is like Foolishness”) arena tour that ran from March to May this year drew 120,000 fans nationwide. Under the concept of “Midnight Forever Expo on the Far Side of the Sun,” the tour drew attention for its unique staging that brought to life “another Expo” that might have been happening behind the scenes during Expo ’70, just as the current EXPO 2025 is underway.

That said, what this seemingly outlandish tour expressed was a message about the inefficient, yet deeply endearing creations and art that are born when people try to make things through trial and error, or struggle to accomplish something — and ultimately about how people live. OMOTE EXPO 2025 “MEIKŌ WA GUNARUGA GOTOSHI” presented an opportunity to showcase that fictional Midnight Forever Expo on the stage of the real EXPO happening right now in 2025. (Omote, pronounced “oh mo tay,” means the side facing the front in this context.)
As the first live concert produced independently by the artist to take place at EXPO 2025, ticket holders of the world’s fair could enter the lottery for access to the show free of charge. After the event was announced, fans rushed to enter the draw. The 16,000-capacity EXPO Arena “Matsuri” became packed, setting a record for the largest attendance for a live event held at this outdoor venue. The event was received with such enthusiasm that fans gathered outside the arena to hear the sound leaking out.
What stood out most during the performance was how, despite its conceptual format, the show remained filled with energy and a celebratory vibe throughout. Following the opening narration by Koji Ishizaka — a prominent Japanese actor who also narrated Expo ’70 — the excitement in the venue soared from the beginning with high-energy performances, with highlights including the opening number “DNA,” featuring CRT display drums and electric fan harps, and “Byoshin wo kamu,” where the audience joined in with claps.
What feels strangely compelling is how ZUTOMAYO’s music is composed of a combination of extremely complex elements. The songs pack a wide range of elements into a single track, starting with rock, pop, soul, funk, dub, club music, and rap, plus various other essences, from singer-songwriter-like qualities to music originating from Japan’s internet like Vocaloid. The distinctive way everything comes together and washes over listeners as pure pop feels amplified exponentially in a live setting. Particularly striking is how the group skillfully integrates Black music like soul/funk and hip-hop sensibilities into Japanese pop. This vibrant sound perfectly complements the celebratory atmosphere of this live show.

The concert maintained its full intensity well into the second half, occasionally featuring visual effects reminiscent of ‘70s American music programs like Soul Train, evoking the soul/funk style of the era. Details like Egg Chairs and red public telephones, seemingly paying homage to pavilions from Expo ’70, were presented to create a unique performance incorporating elements from 55 years ago interpreted in a modern way. Witnessing these performances, originally conceived solely for the fictional “Expo on the Far Side,” being unveiled at the actual EXPO 2025 was truly spectacular. In particular, the song “CREAM” released earlier this year stood out as a mid-set highlight, with its festive sound featuring airy strings reminiscent of Philly soul fused seamlessly with ZUTOMAYO’s characteristic vocals and performance style.
The band continued to captivate with “MILABO,” where a disco mirror ball spun over the Expo stage reflecting primary-colored lights, and during “STUDY ME,” with added Latin flavors not found in the original recording, trumpeter Hajime Gushiken charged in on a motorcycle. As the band built momentum over the undulating bassline in “TAIDADA,” lasers rained down relentlessly over the audience. Throughout the entire performance, the band explored visual enjoyment as well, using open-reel tape decks, CRT display drums, and electric fan harps, delivering a large-scale show that shook the entire venue, relentlessly building the crowd’s excitement.

In the closing ceremony segment, the concert concluded with a quote from the late artist Taro Okamoto, who designed the Tower of the Sun at Expo’70 55 years ago: “Solitude is absolutely social.” Addressing the crowd for the last time during the set, ZUTOMAYO shared an anecdote about meeting Ishizaka before the event to ask him to narrate it. When asked, “What’s different between 50 years ago and now?” Ishizaka responded, “Compared to a simpler, more optimistic era, many things have become more complex today. Yet I feel the essence of humanity hasn’t changed that much.” After relaying these words to the crowd, the band closed the set with a uniting performance of “Seigi” (Justice).
Over the 55 years between Expo ’70 and EXPO 2025, countless individuals confronted solitude, persevered through trial and error, and ultimately propelled their eras forward. ZUTOMAYO affirms this noble solitude, and its recent event — presented in the unprecedented format of an independently produced show at an actual Expo disregarding profit — conveyed that message of affirmation through a truly spectacular performance. Every element including the format itself communicated the uniqueness of ZUTOMAYO.
Following the performance, the words “From Japan to Various Countries” flashed across the screen and the band announced its JAPAN & ASIA TOUR “ZUTOMAYO INTENSE II” set to travel to nine cities across the region. It looks like ZUTOMAYO will continue to expand its distinctive reach even further in the future.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle hit American theaters on Sept. 12 and it’s already breaking records.
The animated film grossed over $555 million worldwide according to an article dropped by Forbes, making it the highest-grossing anime film of all time globally. This also makes the film the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time. In the United States alone, the film grossed a whopping total of $104 million, making it the highest-grossing anime film in the U.S. of all time.
All this in just two weeks? It’s not as uncommon as you think. In 2020, Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train dropped and became the first, now second, highest-grossing anime film of all time, amassing a total of $506,473,668 worldwide. It’s clear the anime is a major hit. If you didn’t know, the story is centered around teenager Tanjiro Kamado as he navigates a world overrun by demons after his entire family is slaughtered by them, except for his younger sister Nezuko. The problem? Nezuko was transformed into a demon. Tanjiro must now find a way to turn his sister back into a human while training to become a Demon Slayer.
With hype for the film still in full swing, we’re sharing a few of our favorite merch pieces that you can shop right now from Crocs to Uniqlo. We’ve rounded up a few collaborative pieces, as well as good old-fashion collectible figures, everything you need to show off your love for the series.
Crocs just launched a Demon Slayer-inspired collection of clogs. The collection includes five styles total, all pulling design inspo from characters from the series including Tanjiro, Nezuko, Shinobu, Inosuke and Zenitsu. The full collection is pretty awesome; however, we chose the Tanjiro clogs for $94.99 to highlight the hero of Demon Slayer. We might be biased. Anyhow, these Echo clogs are waterproof, lightweight and stylish to boot, equipped with a green and black checkerboard print inspired by Tanjiro’s kimono. The collab also includes Jibbitz inspired by the anime that can be bought separately.
A unisex t-shirt with Tanjiro and Nezuko graphics on the front.
Uniqlo is just one of many brands to collaborate with the popular anime, bringing the characters to life on tees and sweats. While their latest collection features a slew of pieces, we recommend the UT Graphic T-Shirt for $24.90. The style is unisex and comes in sizes XXS to XXL. The tee is white and made of breathable 100% cotton and features a colorful graphic of Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko on the front. The collaborative piece is slightly oversized, so keep that in mind before picking a size.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Shinobu & Kanao Best Friend Necklace Set
Got a bestie who is just as obsessed with Demon Slayer as you are? You can both show your love for the anime and manga with this Shinobu & Kanao Best Friend Necklace Set from Hot Topic. Retailing for $13.90, the set comes with matching butterfly necklaces with designs mirrored after the characters Shinobu and Kanao, two adoptive sisters from the series. The butterfly pendants are attached to chains—one in gold and one in silver. This would make a great gift for you and your anime-obsessed bestie.

Sean “Diddy” Combs returned to court on Thursday (Sept. 25) to advocate for his record to be cleared completely after he was acquitted of sex-trafficking but convicted of lesser prostitution charges.
Combs seemed in good spirits when he appeared in the courtroom, smiling and embracing his team of defense lawyers. It’s not surprising that the rapper has such affection for his legal team; they won a stunning trial victory in July, convincing jurors to acquit Combs of racketeering and sex-trafficking charges that could have subjected him to life in prison.

The jury did convict Combs of transporting Cassie Ventura and another ex-girlfriend referred to as “Jane” across state lines for “freak-off” sex parties with male escorts. Sentencing on these lesser counts is scheduled for Oct. 3, but Combs’ lawyers first got the chance to argue that the conviction should be wiped altogether.
One of Combs’ attorneys, appeal specialist Alexandra Shapiro, told Judge Arun Subramanian on Thursday that federal prostitution charges are antiquated and rarely enforced. The Mann Act, originally titled the White-Slave Traffic Act, has ugly origins in criminalizing interracial relationships in the early 1900s.
“The whole history of the statute is really, I would submit respectfully, an embarrassment to the United States of America,” Shapiro argued.
Shapiro said it’s Department of Justice policy to only level such charges when prostitution is done in a commercial context or tied to sex trafficking. And since the jury determined in their verdict that Combs’ girlfriends consented to the freak-offs, Shapiro argued, the Mann Act should be off the table.

Prosecutor Christy Slavik, meanwhile, countered that there is a legitimate government interest in regulating prostitution. Slavick said that even when prostitution is not strictly defined as sex trafficking, it can lead to other crimes like violence against women and drug use.
“All of those things were present here in this case,” said Slavik. “Ms. Ventura was getting punched in the face. Jane was getting hit and kicked. Mr. Combs was providing drugs to all parties.”
The lawyers also sparred over the defense’s creative argument that because Combs videotaped the freak-offs, these events constituted amateur pornography shoots protected by the First Amendment.
Shapiro noted that these events were “highly choreographed,” with “mood lighting” and “costumes.” But Slavik said Combs’ videography is entirely irrelevant to the question of whether people were transported across state lines for prostitution.

Diddy Lawyers Ask Judge for Almost No Prison Sentence: ‘It Is Time for Mr. Combs to Go Home’
Judge Subramanian peppered both sides with technical legal questions throughout the hearing and ultimately said he’ll issue a decision “very shortly.” He ended the proceeding by declaring that unless the conviction is wiped, he’ll “see everyone back here next Friday” for sentencing.
Federal sentencing guidelines suggest Combs will likely receive somewhere between two and five years of prison time next week, though judges have wide discretion to impose whatever punishment they see fit.
Combs’ legal team has asked that he be sentenced to essentially time served, since he’s already spent more than a year in jail. Prosecutors have not yet submitted their sentencing recommendation.

Members include S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino. The group debuted with the track “Adore U.”

Richard Sterban, a member of quartet The Oak Ridge Boys for more than five decades, revealed on (Thursday) Sept. 25 that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March of this year.
“I am under the care of the best cancer doctors in the country and, with the help of the Good Lord above, I believe I will be able to get through this,” Sterban said in a statement. He added, “I want to thank everyone, especially the fans, for your concern, and I would appreciate your continued prayers. Most days I’m feeling very good, and I hope to be back out on the road in several months.”
Sterban, whose signature bass vocals are a defining feature of such Oak Ridge Boys songs as their Billboard Hot 100 top 5 hit “Elvira,” most recently performed with the group at the Academy of Country Music Awards in May. Since then, Aaron McCune and Tim Duncan have been filling in for Sterban on tour.
New Jersey native Sterban joined The Oak Ridge Boys in 1972. Prior to joining the group, he sang with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, through which he also performed and recorded with Elvis Presley, and appeared in one of Presley’s movies, Elvis on Tour.
The Oak Ridge Boys have earned five Grammy Awards, nine GMA Dove Awards and two American Music Awards. The group was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2000, into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2015 and have been members of the Grand Ole Opry since 2011. Among the group’s 17 No. 1s on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart are “Elvira,” “Bobbie Sue,” “American Made” and “Leaving Louisiana In Broad Daylight.”
The lineup of Sterban, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden and Duane Allen performed together for five decades, marking the group’s longest-running lineup. Bonsall announced his retirement in January 2024 and was replaced by vocalist Ben James. Bonsall died on July 9, 2024, at age 76.
