The second season of Netflix’s Nobody Wants This has become a full-blown music magnet, taking over nearly the entire Top TV Songs chart for October 2025 — and leading the charge is Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild.” The hit single surges to No. 1 on Billboard’s ranking, powered by Tunefind, after soundtracking a standout moment in the season’s sixth episode.
The series premiered its second season in full on Oct. 23, and viewers wasted no time sending its soundtrack into overdrive. Last year’s debut season introduced the show as a quiet chart presence, scoring three placements in September 2024, including Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain.” This time, Nobody Wants This expands its impact dramatically, claiming eight of the chart’s 10 available positions.
Carpenter’s “Manchild,” from her 2025 album Man’s Best Friend, leads the pack with huge numbers: 45.7 million official on-demand U.S. streams and 4,000 downloads during October, according to Luminate. The song has already proven its staying power, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June before settling into a strong run through the fall.
Chappell Roan’s viral breakout “Good Luck, Babe!” follows at No. 2 with 28.2 million streams, while music from Rihanna and Mikky Ekko, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and others continues to fuel the show’s impressive chart takeover. With season three already confirmed for 2026, the series seems poised to remain a major force in curated TV soundtracks.
Only two spots on the Top TV Songs list fall outside the orbit of Nobody Wants This: HBO Max’s Peacemaker claims No. 3 thanks to Foxy Shazam’s explosive “Oh Lord,” and Apple TV+’s Slow Horses lands at No. 7 with The Zombies’ classic “She’s Not There.”
As Nobody Wants This keeps rewriting what a TV soundtrack can do for pop culture, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” stands as the season’s defining musical moment — and a reminder of just how influential the right song placement can be.
