Blood Orange ft. Caroline Polachek, Lorde, Mustafa - Mind Loaded

Taking the tempo down a bit (although there's a mid-track semi-bop) for this song, which is one of the most beautiful and heart wrenching of '25.

EMJAY - boss

I was hoping someone would pick this so I could boost the bop that's been soundtracking my '25 - thanks @danthecritic.bsky.social

Zuchu - Amanda

I'm boosting - and getting on board the Amanda train.

Tyler, The Creator - Ring Ring Ring

The most perfect 1982 slinky disco bop (and, of course ☎️🪩☎️)

Danny Brown, underscores - Copycats

The catchiest, dancy-est song on my list - DB + hyperpop is a lot of fun.

Rema - KELEBU

The perfect high octane song to start the crossover - or as Rema says 'another banger'.

[starting with a few songs I'd definitely like in the pot, and then will boost]

Main take aways: the nightclub Joaquin ran in WOTN looked a bit rubbish, and the Frankenstein sets were super-cool.

Skepsis, Jhelisa, Kairo Keyz - Friendly Pressure (I Wanna Be With You)

A favourite because the bass makes me feel like I'm driving around in a ridiculously vibrating car (when usually I am standing on a train platform).

Nourished by Time - BABY BABY

Sounds like three different songs stitched together, all fab. I especially enjoy NbT sounding like he's running to catch up with the first one.

Obongjayar - Not In Surrender

Love all the maximalist beats and bops and, of course, the airplane guitar sounds. Exhilarating.

Clipse ft Tyler, The Creator - P.O.V.

Starts as it means to go on - epic and gleaming (with a dollop of disdain)

Excellent use of the 'shutting the song down and then bursting back to life' thing.

Bad Bunny - BAILE INoLVIDABLE

The brass and band vocal hooks are glorious - *and* the jazzy piano interlude. Looking forward to the Super Bowl show.

Dave, Tems - Raindance

Every year needs a big, earnest, mushy track to vibe to (all good things). Extra points for using 'looking like you come from the 90s' as a compliment.

Shimmy-shimmy, yay, shimmy, shimmy-shimmy, yah.

Addison Rae - Fame is a Gun

Addison's 2025 singles have all been excellent, but I like the unexpected droney-ness amongst the sparkly synths here.

HUNTR/X - What It Sounds Like

Perfect final boss track. Does it bring a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat (still, on the bazillionth viewing)? Of course it does.

Bringing another stack of records back from Sheffield - this time's "have I heard it since 91?" LP is Emotion Lotion by Top:

(Interesting Wiki definition of 'hit': "The album spawned two hit singles... "She's Got All the World", which peaked at #80, and "Number One Dominator", which reached #67.)
Top - Number One Dominator (Better Quality)

My remaining HMs to complete the 100. I think they all have at least one pick, apart from Clipse P.O.V. which was my song #51 so I'm very attached to it (and it's a 2025 track so you never know ... :) )

1 💫🌟 12 points 🌟💫
Doechii - NISSAN ALTIMA (2024) (USA)

Still a whirlwind, still makes me grin - my favourite of the 2020s (and with what sounds like a mic drop at the end to send the 50 off in glorious style).
