"Year End List Season really began in earnest today (12/1), and while Pitchfork has yet to drop their album list, they have unveiled their list of the Best 100 Songs of 2025. As usual it has huge hits side-by-side with more under the radar picks and is all over the map genre-wise. Topping the list this year is a song that actually came out in 2024 - what do you think?"
"The bottom 75 includes songs by Turnstile, Sabrina Carpenter, Perfume Genius, Tortoise, Erika de Casier, Wet Leg, Haim, Lady Gaga, Jenny Hval, Ethel Cain, Model/Actriz, Clipse, Chappell Roan, Hotline TNT, Destroyer, Cate Le Bon, Jane Remover, Greg Freeman, Big Thief, No Joy, Mavis Staples, Open Mike Eagle, Marie Davidson, Justin Bieber, Pulp, Yaya Bey, Tyler the Creator, CMAT, Neko Case, Kieran Hebden & William Tyler, Lorde, Greet Death, Jason Isbell, Momma, Morgan Wallen & Post Malone, and more."
A Best 100 Songs of 2025 list was published on December 1, marking the start of year-end list season. The compilation pairs widely known hits with lower-profile selections and spans a wide range of genres. The number-one pick on the list is a song released in 2024. The lower portion of the ranking features artists from indie, pop, rock, hip-hop, and experimental scenes, including both established names and emerging acts. The published top 25 highlights a mix of mainstream performers and niche favorites across diverse styles.
