I found the deluxe tracks to be pretty consistent with the quality of the original album which isn't always the case. This was chosen as the single which surprises me because it doesn't feel as instant as the others.112. J.

Cole released a 10 year anniversary edition of '2014 Forest Hills Drive' that included 8 new tracks that were originally recorded for the album. These tracks dominated my listening in the first few weeks on 2025 while I awaited new music to release and this ended up sneaking a top #3 peak in the first week of the year. It didn't manage to hold up through the year but this does feel like classic Cole and he sounds really good with the sing-rapping on the chorus. The flow on the verses is so smooth too and shows why 'The Fall Off' is needed right now. There is one of these bonus tracks that does make my top 100.

This is darker and moodier than a lot of the other K-Pop to hit my charts which makes it stand-out amongst the crowd. I really enjoy it every time I listen to this as it has such a unique structure but I think that’s also what’s went against it to see it land this low. It misses a memorable, snappy hook that keeps it in your head afterwards, something that her song that does make my top 100 has in abundance.110. JENNIE feat.

Doechii)'ExtraL' is pretty chaotic but perfectly matches the musicality of the two artists with Doechii getting a chance to shine with her anarchic and punching verse. It's such a bold, dynamic track that whizzes between different sounds at a blustering pace. JENNIE managed to to release this with great timing, it feel like Doechii was on top of the world at this point. It's funny how quick things can change because it feels like she has no hype at all now. JENNIE will have three entries in my top 100.

I particularly like the orchestral inclusions in the production of this one which does a great job of setting the darker tone of the deluxe tracks.108.

Tems)2025 12 No Weapons (feat. Jim Legxacy)Dave's third album is another brilliant edition to his catalogue, but it lacked the more commercial singles that helped his first two albums become huge. The whole album feels like one complete piece of art instead of something where you listen to tracks individually and that has effected it's performance in my chart where this is one of only two times he will appear. This is the closing track of the album and caused headlines for being the one that samples The Beatles. In terms of technical ability, I think this might be what I would put forward as Dave's strongest track. The way he glides through the song with such thrust is outstanding and he makes it sound so easy. But, thankfully, as you'd expect with Dave, he doesn't skimp on the lyrical side either with this being a thoughtful reflection on his own standing in the world and how he can impact on the bigger issues facing the world. It perfectly encapsulates the whole album. Throughout the runtime, Dave constantly asks a lot of questions without giving answers and, while he might not answer everything here, you leave it feeling like you understand his beliefs and the message he wants to convey. I don't think there's been a more appropriate title track to an album before!

His three appearances in my chart are despite his presence and I was not excited when this collaboration first dropped. And this did nothing for me for the longest time but there's something about the chorus that stuck with me and I'd find it often playing in my head. You do have to sit through a LONG Carti verse before we get to the good stuff but even that part isn't is bad as his usual stuff. There's a lot of rumours that his part was AI and, if that's the case, then it's the first (and probably only) positive advertisement for its use in music!106.

I'm sorry I couldn't find any space for it in my top 100. We are definitely at a point where everything deserved a place in there. I have 5 more tracks to announce tomorrow before the proper action kicks-off on new year's day.

'You'd Like That Wouldn't You' took a while to click with me but eventually hit me hard. It was unfortunate that it only started to stand out when I was ready to drop the album from heavy rotation or it might have sneaked into the top 100. It feels like a slightly odd choice to close an album but I really dig it. Why not conclude on one of the more upbeat and less serious tracks?104.

This is a pretty cool throwback to the EDM-pop era with some additional hyperpop sounds that sounds really unique compared to what the other pop girls have released this year. Kim does have one entry in the top 100 to come.

The lead single won me over instantly and the big highlight from the album was certainly 'Favourite Daughter'. This re-entered my chart after I attended her show in Manchester which was almost enough for it to climb into the top 100. Big flashing lights warning if you chose to watch the video.102.

We will still hear from Sabrina nine-times in the top 100 which was one of the deciding factors. This is one of her most Ariana-sounding tracks (there's a 'yuh' that would no doubt trick you in isolation) and everyone knows how much I love Ari so I'm certainly not complaining. The one negative about this is that it's too short. It feels like it's crying out for an extra 30 seconds and a bridge to hammer it home.

As you can see above, it finished at #72 in my 'points' chart and had a run that would usually almost guarantee you a top 100 placement. It seems like we've had loads of album-concluders appear already and we can now add another to the list. I wasn't originally sold on this but it really grew on me as I had the album on repeat. A really catchy chorus that is much more instant than the verses. Leah has three songs still to come in the main event which begins tomorrow.

'Give Me Mercy' was an album track for The Weeknd's overstuffed album that debuted all the way back in January and is set to be his final album released under the 'Weeknd' moniker. 2024 was the first year since he debuted that The Weeknd missed my EOY top 100 and he came mightily close to missing out again, I haven't listened to this a lot in the second half of the year so I don't think it's going to become a mainstay from his catalogue for me but its still nice to hear it. The lyrics are a bit preachy and feel hollow on an album that also includes 'Timeless' but Abel has a voice that can sell almost anything and Max Martin is always a safe pair of hands on production. The Weeknd can create this kind of synth-pop/R&B hit in his sleep and this is another decent effort to add to his list.Best Part: The Weeknd's smooth vocals on the pre-chorus

Despite remixes with Freddie Gibbs and Chris Brown, its the original version that caught my attention. Leon's spent a lot of his career writing for others, but his voice certainly shines here. There's noting too show-offy, he just sounds effortlessly soulful which gives the track a laidback, cool energy that contrasts positively to other ballads. 2025 did not seem to be a kind year to R&B overall which made this song's rise all the more impressive. Only time will tell if he is able to find a second hit.Best Part: The breathless delivery of 'I'm a dog, I'm a mutt' in the chorus

This has a pretty abrasive beat with record scratches aplenty that I could see putting people off but if you get past that then you're rewarded with Cole flowing freely through the verses with a particularly fun internal rhyming scheme in the second verse. You can easily hear how early Cole ended up becoming so loved. We just need 'The Fall Off' now please Cole.Best Part: The 'don't look up' voice sample in the chorus

I thought it was ok and was a nice way to see us in to the deluxe version of her album and would chart outside of the top 10 for a few weeks then disappear. But the chorus really ended up sticking with me and it climbed into my top 5 after the release of the deluxe album ('Not My First Emotional Rodeo'). Her songs in my #101-125 section were both fun, but entirely cheesy attempts at country music whereas I think this is just legitimately a good country song and her voice suits this genre to a T. And a hell of a lot stronger than the ones that currently hold a monopoly on the Billboard charts in America. It's quite funny that this is practically the same story as Hilary Duff's 'Mature' which will be landing much higher in this chart. I never would have expected to become a Janet Devlin fan in 2025 but here she is with the first of four EOY top 100 hits.Best Part: The tiny signs where her Irish accent sneaks out "parade arouund'

I've never really had reason to comment much on her singing voice before but it really sounds good on this one. It's produced by Zach Skelton who has credits on nearly every track on this album alongside some really popular songs like Hailee Steinfeld's 'Most Girls' and Jonas Brothers's 'Cool' and I really appreciate the choices they made on this one. I like this a lot more than it's chart run would suggest and it has racked up a lot of listens through the album. This is the final post of today!Best Part: Leah's strongest vocal yet

One skill that helps Tate stand out is her dance training and the video provides her the perfect opportunity to show off this ability (as well as her acting chops with the crying at the end). She's mesmerising in the video and you just can't take your eyes off her. As someone who REALLY cannot dance, I'm kinda in awe of how she can move, especially in heels. This was not an instant highlight of the album for me but the bridge really wormed it's way into my head. Tate and her collaborators took some real risks with the production on this album and they came off.Best Part: The explicit bridge

As you may know, judging by my signature, JISOO is my favourite from BLACKPINK and she usually gets overlooked so I do enjoy the fact this this gave her a second UK top 40 hit while LISA & ROSÉ both only have one apiece. A collaboration with ZAYN didn't really excite me when it was announced but I think they actually sound really good together. What lets it down is that it sounds a bit old-fashioned. It feels like it would have been a smash 10 years ago but trends have changed since then. I like it more than I probably should just because JISOO is such a star. She does have better songs still to come.Best Part: The harmonies between the pair
