Ooh speaking of Wrapped, top 10 songs and artists of 2025 in the UK:

Songs

1. Ordinary

2. That's So True

3. Messy

4. Pink Pony Club

5. Birds Of A Feather

6. Love Me Not

7. Back To Friends

8. Sailor Song

2. Drake

3. Sabrina Carpenter

4. The Weeknd

5. Billie Eilish

6. Kanye West

7. Kendrick Lamar

8. Rihanna

9. Tate McRae

10. Ariana Grande

Surprised to see Drake at #2 in that list considering he hasn't had a massive single this year! I guess he just has that many fans who stream his residual catalogue.

Both Drake and Kanye West being up there, is the UK ok?

I'm suprised Golden didnt make the top ten.

Did 'Golden' perhaps come too late in the year?

I can easily see how it wouldn't have surpassed any of those ten.

Golden just doesn’t do as well on Spotify compared to its performance on the OCC charts - see my Spotify YTD on the previous page of this thread which shows it’s not top 10

Yeah I think Golden and Ophelia both came a little too late in the year, they must both be top 20 though I'd imagine.

Golden is 15, Ophelia not top 50!

Yeah golden is definitely more amazon/apple dominant

Ophealia probably is only 8 weeks old so probably came out too late though

Would love for the occ to just reset all the stranger things associated songs after the whole Ruth thing where we didn’t know if they were even gonna reset it. Would be so cool to see Tiffany, Diana etc chart, though I’d imagine they wouldn’t make the top 40 rn with Christmas in full swing

Not if they’re Kylie Alexa streams 🤣

Artists like Drake, Kanye, The Weeknd and Rihanna just have such a deep catalogue of older songs that continue to stream well that they're going to be on the most streamed of the year lists pretty much every year whether or not they've got current big hits (although who knows, maybe Rihanna was pushed over the top to make an appearance this year because of the dominant success of 'Friend Of Mine' ) I wonder how close the likes of Fleetwood Mac would be if we had a longer list...

Still feels jarring every time how badly EOY lists are skewed to songs available all year, no 'Man I Need' on that list feels very wrong but it's no doubt an early frontrunner to be very high up the 2026 list.
