Darts has boomed in popularity over the past year and a half when Luke Littler shined on the big stage in 2024.
In his first Premier League Darts campaign, he took down world number one Luke Humphries in the final, who he had lost to about five months prior, in the World Championship final.
Aside from the PDC having some of the best depth it has had in its history, walk-on songs have gained traction on social media, even from crowds that don't pay attention to darts.
Naturally, we decided to rank them. Here is my entirely unofficial and subjective power ranking of all eight walk-on songs in the 2025 Premier League.

Ranking Premier League Darts walk-ons from worst to best
8: Chris Dobey
- Song: "Let's Get Ready to Rhumble" by PJ & Duncan
Dobey's walk-on just doesn't do it for me. It's hard to be ranked high with a song that isn't too catchy or fails to get the crowd involved.
Dobey has experimented around with songs though, and his best was when he catered his song to the crowd during his Premier League Darts homecoming in Newcastle:
7: Gerwyn Price
- Song: "Ice Ice Baby" by "Vanilla Ice"
An iconic song, but another that just doesn't match the vibe of what a walk-on song should be. It feels a little mundane at times and there aren't many verses or lyrics for the crowd as a whole to collectively chant.
A hero's welcome for Gerwyn Price... 🙌

6: Rob Cross
- Song: "I Don't Wanna Wait" by David Guetta and OneRepublic
We're trending up on the list a bit, but all the songs out of the top five in my opinion are very far away from the quality of the other walk-ons. Cross has a more upbeat song with some catchy lyrics at times which puts him at the number six spot.
5: Luke Humphries
- Song: “I Predict a Riot” by Kaiser Chiefs
Now we are in the higher quality section of the rankings. Humphries changed up his song for when the Premier League of Darts went to Leeds in 2024 and has kept it since. Fans love the catchy song and chant it no matter where the world number plays.
Check out last year's debut of the walk-on in Leeds:
4: Luke Littler
- Song: "Greenlight" by Pitbull featuring Flo Rida and LunchMoney Lewis
Littler, a big WWE fan, was inspired to pick this as his walk-on song after it was the official song of Wrestlemania 33. Littler has become a fan favorite over the past 18 months and despite not having the best song for a walk-on, the atmosphere always is electric when the song comes on.

3: Michael van Gerwen
- Song: "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes
Ranking van Gerwen third just proves how top-heavy this list is with quality walk-ons. MVG's walk-on is one of the most iconic parts of the sport and gives fans chills every time.

2: Nathan Aspinall
- Song: "Mr. Brightside" by the Killers
Who doesn't love Mr. Brightside? It's practically known by every person in the world and brings people together. Aspinall himself has said he has started to dislike the song but has chosen to keep it from how much the crowd enjoys it. Aside from its status as a certified banger at weddings and parties, Mr. Brightside has emerged as a PL entrance song staple.

1: Stephen Bunting
- Song: "Titanium" by David Guetta featuring Sia
This was a no-brainer for the number one spot. Bunting has gained a ton of popularity on social media with this walk-on that I guarantee very few people could say they dislike.
