Your Top Songs of 2025 (Spotify, YT, etc)

[Mr EliteL]

I got my YouTube recap last night and decided it's time to begin the topic for this year.

I'll do what I usually do and post the top 5 of what I think I've listened to mostly, as I don't use Spotify or iTunes to have an ongoing record of what I have done, still, plus what YouTube has told me in my recap. I usually listen to music on my MP3 player, on my phone at work using headphones or my laptop both on and off YouTube.

Artists/Bands

1- LEAH
2- Seventh Wonder
3- Kamelot
4- Celldweller
5- (can't determine)

Songs

1- Archangel - LEAH
2- I Carry The Blame/Under a Clear Blue Sky - Seventh Wonder
3- Little Stars/Speak to Me - LEAH
4- Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlfie) - Kamelot
5- Until Kingdom Come/Lunar Sanctum - Kamelot

I mentioned earlier in the year I wasn't listening to much, so some of this will of more recent and playlists I generally listen to that include these bands and songs. There's four songs I really like from LEAH's album that came out last year, though Archangel is featured in two playlists where as the other three weren't, but know I replayed the two I included in my top 5 more than the fourth song I enjoy, plus playing the full album as well. Similar with the two Seventh Wonder songs plus listening to the album they're from. The Kamelot songs, I listened to the Fourth Legacy album a number of times this year, Sacrimony I also listened to the album but also watched the music video more recently a number of times too, also as an attempt to get it into the YouTube recap, which I didn't succeed...possibly due to the cut off time maybe but don't know when that was.

5th place for Artists...I really can't think of what it could be, after the top 4 everything else was just whatever I felt like and not focused specifically, so it could be between like 4 or 5 or more different ones.

Alas, here's my foretold recap:

Not surprised by my top song. Spotify even asked me to guess what it was and that was the one I chose lol. Top Albums is a little whatever because the top two are the only ones I've listened to multiple times this year. I also discovered The Midnight in the later half of this year and anytime I find a new artist I check out their albums so that's why they make up so many spots in that list yet don't really show up much elsewhere in my Wrapped. Had I found them earlier in the year, they would have easily been my Top Artist.

I do wonder if Spotify only counts songs that were fully listened to though or if they just have to appear in a shuffle? I've skipped so many songs this year that if those still get counted it's going to skew a lot of my data.
