Here is my top 50 of the year 2025, based on a points system awarding 40 points for each week spent at #1, down to 1 point for each week at #40.

Taylor Swift tops the 2025 chart with The Fate Of Ophelia, which spent 4 weeks at #1 in October / November, one of her all time best songs I think.

In 2nd place is Chappell Roan with The Subway, which also spent 4 weeks at #1 in August / September. This has to be my favourite Chappell song so far now.

Benson Boone has 2 songs in the top 5 - Mystical Magical at #3 and Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else at #5. Both tracks spent multiple weeks at #1 and come from his brilliant American Heart album.

Lewis Capaldi made his comeback in July with Survive, becoming the only song in 2025 to spend 5 weeks at #1. Lewis has another 2 in the top 40 - Something In The Heavens at #23 and current top 5 The Day That I Die at #29.

Tom Grennan also has 3 songs in the top 20 - Shadowboxing at #6, Full Attention at #11 and Somewhere Only We Go at #13. All were #1s and are on his album Everywhere I Went Lead Me To Where I Didn't Want To Go.

Ed Sheeran also has 3 tracks in the top 20 which are all from his latest album Play - Azizam at #9, Sapphire at #14 and Camera at #18.

Sienna Spiro's Die On This Hill is still in the top 20 this week, and topped the charts in November. The song ends up at #7 for the entire year.

Honourable mention also goes to James Marriott whose I Don't Want To Live Like This is the highest placing non-top 3 hit at #31, and Olly Murs whose Save Me peaked at #6 in the weekly charts but is at #39 of the year.
