GDC40 Week 32: Calvin Harris's "Blessings" Hold Strong as David Guetta Dominates the Chart Landscape
August 9, 2025 – The GDC40 chart for Week 32 of 2025 delivers another dynamic mix of enduring hits and exciting new movements, affirming the vibrant state of electronic and dance music. At the pinnacle, Calvin Harris and Clementine Douglas's "BLESSINGS" once again claims the coveted #1 spot, extending its reign to a second consecutive week and its impressive chart run to 12 weeks.
The Unshakeable Top and Ascending Stars
While "BLESSINGS" solidified its position, the immediate top contenders remained fiercely competitive. Disco Lines and Tinashe's "NO BROKE BOYS" held steadfast at #2, continuing its six-week ascent as a formidable challenger. Swedish House Mafia's "WAIT SO LONG" also maintained its #3 standing, proving its consistent appeal.
The biggest climber within the top tier was undoubtedly "OUR TIME" by Afrojack, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, and Amél, which surged two spots to a new peak of #4 in just its fourth week on the chart. This powerhouse collaboration highlights the enduring magic of EDM's biggest names joining forces. Slipping slightly but still holding strong in the Top 5 was WizTheMc and bees & honey's "SHOW ME LOVE," a former #1 hit celebrating an incredible 23 weeks on the chart, showcasing remarkable longevity.
The Top 10 also welcomed some fresh faces. Max Dean, Luke Dean, and Locky's "CAN'T DECIDE" made a significant leap from #10 to #7, hitting a new peak. Even more impressive was Stryv, Malachiii, and Adam Port's "POSITIONS," which rocketed from #13 to break into the Top 10 at #10, making it a track to watch in the coming weeks.
K-Pop Crossover and Chart Veterans
One of the most surprising and impactful debuts of the week came from global sensation Blackpink, whose track "JUMP" landed directly at #13. This marks a significant K-Pop presence on the predominantly dance-oriented chart, hinting at evolving tastes and broader appeal.
Meanwhile, a host of chart veterans continued their impressive runs. David Guetta and Sia's "BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE," a former #1, remains robust at #14 after a staggering 22 weeks. The ultimate long-runner this week is Chrystal's "THE DAYS (Notion Remix)," which after 33 weeks, including a week at #1, still commands attention at #24. AVAION and Sofiya Nzau's "WACUKA" also demonstrates incredible staying power, now in its 28th week on the chart at #38.
David Guetta: The Chart King's Unrivaled Presence
This week's chart can truly be dubbed the "Week of Guetta." The legendary French DJ and producer boasts an unprecedented six tracks within the GDC40:
- "OUR TIME" (with Afrojack, Martin Garrix, Amél) at #4
- "THINK OF ME" (with HUGEL, Kehlani, Daecolm) at #8
- "BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE" (with Sia) at #14
- "LIGHTER" (with A7S, Wizkid) at #17
- "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN 2025" (with Hypaton, Europe) at #30
- "TOGETHER" (with Hypaton, Bonnie Tyler) at #32
This multi-track dominance underscores Guetta's unparalleled influence and consistent hit-making ability across diverse collaborations and styles.
Other Notable Movements
Beyond Guetta, other artists are making their mark with multiple entries:
- Martin Garrix also commands a strong presence with "OUR TIME" (#4), "MAD" (#6), and "INSIDE OUR HEARTS" (#11).
- HUGEL features on three tracks: "THINK OF ME" (#8), "LOOSEN UP" (#21), and "UNA NOCHE CON HUGEL" (#34).
- Alesso contributes to "SAVE MY LOVE" (#9), "INSIDE OUR HEARTS" (#11), and "SURRENDER" (#29).
- MK's "DIOR" (with Chrystal) made a solid climb from #20 to #16, signaling growing momentum.
- "SAVANA" by Chris Lake continues its steady ascent, moving from #28 to #25.
As the summer reaches its peak, the GDC40 chart reflects a dynamic landscape where established titans like Calvin Harris and David Guetta continue to define the sound, while new artists and unexpected crossovers keep the energy fresh and exciting. All eyes will be on "NO BROKE BOYS" next week to see if it can finally unseat "BLESSINGS," and whether Blackpink's "JUMP" sensation can continue its upward trajectory.
