ReneƩ Rapp's EOY History:

2024 12 Not My Fault (ReneƩ Rapp & Megan Thee Stallion)

2025 93 Lucky

After her success with the soundtrack to her own 'Mean Girls' last year, the second EOY top 100 from ReneƩ is another soundtrack single, this time from magician-threequel 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't'. It's the second song today co-written by Ryan Tedder (following 'Revolving door'). And, similarly, the bridge is the standout part again. As the trend currently seems to be making songs short as possible, it feels like the bridge has been the biggest loser but 'Lucky' is only 2 minutes and 28 seconds but still finds time for a rocking bridge which I'm hoping others can learn from. There's some interesting production on this, I feel like not many pop songs have prominent guitar in recent times but they really add so much here.

Best Part: The self-referential bridge

2025 92 Call Me When You Break Up (Selena Gomez, benny blanco & Gracie Abrams)

Selena's reign of pre-eminence in my chart appears to be over as her latest album yields just one entry in my top 100 and she needed the boost from Gracie Abrams to achieve it, This did mark her re-appearance in the UK top 40 but the song is quite slight (runs just over 2 minutes) which must have factored in to why it didn't leave much of a mark. It does have the slight feeling of a great 'TikTok' hype video that never got properly built-upon into a proper song. But I do really enjoy the bit we did get. For such a short song, you don't think there'll be enough time for the featured artist to shine but Gracie completely steals the song for me. I know she may not be the most popular on here but I think this songs fits her really well and her personality shines through her verse.

Best Part: Gracie's personality shining through her verse

Kim gets her 8th Top 100 hit with the second single from her upcoming third album, 'Freak It'. With one of the loudest, brashest openings of the year, the songs wrong-foots you from the start which is why I feel like this isn't a song I fully got instantly. Its one of those that slowly wins you over on repeat listens and that's why it stuck around my chart, despite only one week in the top 10 at #10 and ended up with more listens than the songs that surround it in this countdown. Kim has said that this track was inspired by Avicii and LMFAO and I can definitely hear the latter in parts of this. I'll be back tomorrow with the next batch of 5.

Dove Cameron had a brilliant, if slightly under the radar, year in 2025, releasing 5 singles from her still-upcoming debut studio album (that her label is apparently reluctant to release) and 80% of them have made my EOY chart. She had the perfect springboard to promote this track to me as I saw her perform it live while supporting Dua Lipa just two days before its release. There's definitely some Lady Gaga vibes in a couple of her releases this year with this incorporating theatrical elements and experimental, darker tones. One thing I really appreciated from seeing her live is how much effort she put into choreography and including her backing dancers, especially for a supporting slot, and the the choreo for 'Romeo' was particularly inspired.

Best Part: Seeing it performed live pre-release to build the hype

Maren Morris's EOY History:

2025 89 push me over

'push me over' was originally released in 2024 as part of Maren's 'Intermission' EP. I did listen to that at the time but the track never really stuck with me until hearing it again on the album. This is just really fun and shows that Maren was smart to move towards poppier music. There's a pulsating rhythm to this that just makes you move and it's very deserving of rewarding Maren with her first EOY top 100 hit here. It returned to my chart for two final weeks after I saw Maren live on tour in a wonderfully intimate venue in November. If you ever get a chance to go to a gig at the Albert Hall in Manchester then I'd urge you to go. It's a grade II listed building originally built for religion which makes it a fascinating architecturally and you feel close to the action whether you chose to stand or sit in the benches above.

Alessi Rose's EOY History:

2025 88 Take It or Leave It

I hinted at it earlier but 2025 was a historic year in my charts for Alessi Rose. This is the first of 12 entries for her in my top 100 which is a new record after Ariana Grande had 11 in 2019 and Maisie Peters also had 11 in 2023. Not bad for someone making their debut, hey? I'll try and keep this one short and sweet because trying to find 12 different things to say about someone, no matter how big of a fan of them I am, is quite difficult. I think she has a great ability for knowing a good melody and writing a catchy hook for it and 'Take It or Leave It' is no exception. As you can see above the whole EP is within my top 25 played songs of the year so this is only really being ranked this low to avoid her dominating the top of my chart too much.

Best Part: Learning the context of the title of the EP

But not too far behind Alessi is Sabrina Carpenter who makes his first appearance of nine with '15 Minutes' landing at #87. This was originally my favourite of the new tracks from the deluxe version of 'Short n' Sweet' we received last February. A play on the famous saying '15 minutes of fame' as well as the 15 minutes of new music added onto the deluxe of the album, the track continues Sabrina's trend of fitting in as many witty innuendoes as she can into each track. Sabrina has really brought the fun back into pop in the past couple of years and her voice is exactly what the genre needed.

2025 86 Opalite

On Taylor's divisive 12th studio album, there's five really good songs and 'Opalite' is the first of four of them that make my EOY top 100. A #2 official hit, this is the biggest song to appear on the list so far so it's no surprise to see the king of pop, Max Martin in the production credits. There's nothing too flashy here. It's just a well-written, well-produced, happy-sounding pop track. It's kinda what I was expecting the album to sound like when I heard she was going back to Max. It's no surprise that this is widely-regarded as one of the high points of the album.

Best Part: The strong percussive beat that hits throughout the song

2025 85 TIT FOR TAT

2025 95 Revolving door

Tate McRae is the first artist to gain a second appearance with 'TIT FOR TAT' landing 10 places above 'Revolving door'. A response to her ex-boyfriend releasing a 'break-up' song. this was written, recorded and released within three weeks while Tate was on her 'Miss Possessive' world tour. To quote Maisie Peters, I think it's clear who 'won the breakup' as this was a worldwide smash while I doubt many people could even name the Kid LAROI track. I love how direct this track is; most artists would to slightly vague in these type of tracks to give a sense of plausible deniability if asked about in interviews but there's nothing ambiguous here.

Best Part: The unapologetically direct lyrics

Asake's EOY History:

2025 84 Gold (J Hus & Asake)

J Hus recruited Asake for his first new track since his disappointing 'Beautiful an Brutal Yard' album in 2023. It's nothing we haven't heard from Hus before, he borrows some lyrics from his older songs (his 'Dailly Duppy' in particular) but he sounds so good on this time for Afrobeat track and there's not many refrains I've found myself singing along to more than 'Every ring I'm wearing is gold, they're calling me Gaddafi'. That's the sort of line that only Hus can make sound like it belongs in a radio hit. With the Skepta collab released at the end of the year and the long-awaiting return of JAE5 on production, he's starting to win me over with hype again for a new album.

Best Part: The annoyingly catchy hook

After three more experimental singles, Dove released a more traditional love-ballad as the fourth single. I didn't have high expectations for this turn but it actually really works. Everything about this release is just cute, especially the visualiser video that shows a montage of Dove's favourite moments of last summer. There has been a slightly cynical tone in a lot of pop music really (which I do enjoy) so it's sometimes nice to have something that is just really comfortably positive. The one thing I would question is why Dove thinks Tony Soprano is a romantic character to compare her boyfriend to.

Best Part: The simply sweet vibe

One of the biggest music stories in 2025 was the return of brothers Pusha T and Malice with their fourth studio-album as Clipse 'Let Got Sort Em Out'. The highlight was the lead single 'Ace Trumpets'. Despite Pusha kicking off with one of the cringiest lines of the year ("Yellow diamonds look like pee-pee"), the rest of the song is immaculate, first-class Hip-Hop. Malice has my favourite verse of the year. It's a deceivingly simple rhyme-scheme that he keeps through the whole verse but he fills it with enough quotables that it almost feels like a chorus with how easy it is to rap-along-to.

Best Part: The flow of Malice in his verse

The first of three tracks from the soundtrack to F1 to appear, it's also the first of three tracks by Madison Beer. This one has landed lower than it's chart run would suggest but I feel like this one was charting more on name and being her comeback song rather than the quality of the song and when the songs from the new album came out, they shown how average this one really is. Not that it's bad, it just a bit lite compared to her usual stuff. It still keeps the same production style and was a good addition for the film to add to its soundtrack.

Best Part: The vocal effect on her voice in the chorus

2025 80 ROCK & ROLL

Since their debut in 2020, ITZY have been one of the most consistent artists in my chart, bagging their first EOY top 10 last year and earning least one #1 every year. However, that run is over this year as 'ROCK & ROLL' is their only entry in this list after reaching #4 in my weekly chart. They left this one late with it only releasing in October. This is the second time one of their Japanese singles has made my EOY chart after 'Voltage' (#100) in 2022. They actually released a Korean EP only one month later (as well as another earlier in the year) but they were both rare releases by them that didn't click with me. 'ROCK & ROLL' isn't a highlight in their discography or anything but it's more traditionally their sound compared to the quite experimental Korean releases his year and I think it suits them more. I love that they all get a chance to shine on this one too which isn't always the case on their bigger songs. They are actually out-charted by a solo-member track this year.

One of two 'BITE ME' album tracks to make my list, 'At Least I'm Hot' was my initial stand-out from my first listen of the album, in large part thanks to another fun bridge from her and the conversational second verse. I've read that this was originally intended to be a track on 'Snow Angel' but I think it fits the attitude of 'BITE ME' more. It doesn't feel like you'd need to do much work to adapt this to instead be a Sabrina Carpenter smash-single. The top YouTube comment says this is Regina George coded and I can't help but agree.

Best Part: The cameo her IRL girlfriend in the second verse
