Blog || Best Of The Year || 2025

It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, not just because of the holidays but because our little team gets to spend literal days compiling and rearranging lists of our favorite releases of the year. And while every time we end up muttering "never again" before submitting them, here we are 12 months later, in the same position (and with equal amounts of frustration). 2025 was full of album releases -some good, some bad, some completely unmemorable, but here are our top ten most listened-to albums across genres for the year.
