The 25 best songs of 2025 so far
By the midpoint of 2025, there are several mysteries left unsolved: how many weeks Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” will reign at No. 1, when Lana Del Rey’s rumored country album might be released, and whether Taylor Swift was hinting at uncertainty about finishing “Reputation (Taylor’s Version).” However, we can confirm that Drake is still relevant, and Miley Cyrus has surpassed ABBA in creating ABBA-like music. Here, you’ll find songs from these two artists, along with 23 other exceptional tracks of 2025 (some of which saw success later in the year). Scroll down to the bottom for a Spotify playlist that compiles them all.
