Here's a little tease to show you state of the top 10 as it was a few hours ago (it's already changed quite a bit). Who can it be?
Given how many votes usually come in on the last weekend it's possible we're only halfway through.
Votes for your top 10 tracks of 2025 before Sunday becomes Monday.

Reminder that the Festive 50 is not just a vote and a list. There’s a full blown show (well, three actually) counting down the chart. That’s the best bit so please remember to join us.
Previous years shows are on Mixcloud.

It’s the calm before the storm as we head into the last week of voting.
For what it’s worth this is probably the most wide open F50 we’ve ever had. I have absolutely no idea where this one’s going.

Thank you everyone who's already voted.
I just had a moment of clarity earlier when it sank in that quite a lot of you have been sending me these lists every year since 2013! That's just madness.
Love and respect to the ever presents since 2013. ❤️

Good point. Lots of you will be posting your favourite tracks of the year through December as part of various #MusicChallenge / #MusicSky / #PeoplesPop25 challenges and may not want to give anything away.
Remember you can vote in The Festive 50 in private using the chat option.

(I also already shared my Top 10 with @thefestive50.bsky.social, and I plan to do Challenge Week for #PeoplesPop25, although there's some strategy involved there so they may not 100% match up.)

Lists should be ordered 1 to 10 if you possibly can. I'll assume any lists without specific numbering will have the number 1 at the top.
If you absolutely, positively, cannot order them then state on the post that they're unordered but they'll all get the half-way points.
