, but seriously, I'm surprised more female artists are not on this list, especially with all the amazing music coming from women like Rosalía and Lily Allen. And what's up with the repeat mention of PinkPantheress - Illegal? Is it really that good to be mentioned twice? 
. I mean, you've got classical vibes from Rosalía, country-pop from Chappell Roan, and even a throwback to Pulp's classic sound from Spike Island 
. And then there are these new artists like PinkPantheress and Jade who are bringing their own unique styles to the table 
.
.
. I don’t know if that’s just a product of 2025's musical landscape or something deeper, but either way, I'm here for it 
And PinkPantheress - Illegal is so catchy, I find myself singing along every time I hear it. 
But honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what's up with Pulp's Spike Island... it's like a trip back to the 90s 
. What about you guys, who are your top picks from this list? 
her "illegal" track is literally my jam all year round! but idk how rosalia's "berghain" made it - i mean don't get me wrong its a sick song and all, but for me personally its just not as catchy as ppantheress's stuff 
chappell roan and lily allen are also making some amazing tracks this year tho 
gotta give it up to those lady gaga and pulp fans too 
pinkpantheress is like my spirit animal right now she's so raw and real in her lyrics it feels like she's speaking directly to me about all my anxiety and shame issues 
rosalia is a godess btw berghain is such a masterpiece it's like she's tapping into this ancient power and I am low-key terrified 
anyway, have you listened to chappell roan's music before? i've been listening to her songs nonstop and i'm obsessed 
addison rae's headphones on is so catchy though - can we really separate art from its mainstream appeal? 
and chappell roan is just a genius when it comes to subverting pastiche i mean have you heard her other songs? 
. Lady Gaga's 'Abracadabra' is always a party starter 
! What I love about this list is how it showcases so many unique voices and styles - there's something for everyone here 
. And let's not forget Jade's 'Plastic Box', Addison Rae's 'Headphones On', or Lily Allen's 'Pussy Box'... these tracks are all winners in my book 
. I'm also loving Chappell Roan's "The Subway" - her Celtic pop epic is the perfect blend of lovelorn heartbreak 
. Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra" is so iconic, and those country vibes are giving me all the feels 
. But honestly, I think the real hero of 2025 is just... finding new music 
, another year, more heartbreak songs 
. And what's up with all the "lovelorn" and "heartbreak" themes? It's like everyone's having some kind of existential crisis or something 
. I mean, can't we just listen to something happy for once? Like, I know life is hard and stuff, but do we have to hear about it in every single song? 
.
. And PinkPantheress's "Illegal" is just so addictive 
, I can already imagine myself lip-syncing it in my car 
. Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra" is like a country-pop party in your ears 
! And have you heard **PinkPantheress - Illegal**? It's like she's tapping into our collective anxiety about relationships, but in the most catchy way possible
