Okay let’s continue with the best of 2025! Now we have the top 10!!!!!

9.Metro Boomin – Take Me Thru Dere ft. Quavo, Breskii, YK Niece, & DJ Spinz

8. Justin Bieber ‘Yukon’

Justin Bieber returned to music with his first album in a few years, SWAG. “Yukon,” with its rhythmic sound, put Bieber right back on top with the song shooting to No. 1 on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay chart. With such a long break from music, the culture was excited to hear from Lil Bieber and see if his swag was still on point. With this album hosted by funny man himself Druski and featuring artists like Gunna and Sexyy Red, he did not disappoint.

7.Sza ’30 for 30′ feat Kendrick Lamar

This duo can do no harm. They reigned all 2025!

6. Drake ‘Nokia’

Drake knows how to make music we love, especially when it comes to dropping an undeniable song we can sing and dance to. Many of us found ourselves randomly shouting, “Baby guuuuuurllllllllll,” in private and in public. Drake saying the catchy phrase over the uptempo beat always gets the party moving. Party time Drizzy is undoubtedly one of our favorites. Coming from Drake’s collab album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, $ome Sexy $ongs 4 U, this track brought us back to the dance floor. “Nokia” also reportedly reached 500 million streams on Spotify, solidifying its candidacy for Song of the Year.

5. Kendrick Lamar ‘ TV Off’

At one point, we all were screaming, “Mustardddddddd!!!!” weren’t we? While the song technically dropped in late 2024 and quickly climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, the impact it had on 2025 was undeniable. Apart from becoming a viral meme, it had a major moment at Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 Super Bowl performance, was featured in Major League Baseball’s opening day commercial, and even Heinz got in on the action by using it for a commercial as well.

4. Chris Brown ‘It All Depends’ feat. Bryson Tiller

Chris Brown is no stranger to making chart-topping music. While on his “Breezy Bowl XX Stadium World Tour,” CB decided to drop a song with his tourmate Bryson Tiller. Coupled with a viral TikTok dance routine, the song took off, easily making it one of the biggest records of the year. “It Depends’’ samples Usher’s “Nice and Slow,” which gives it a somewhat nostalgic feel. Usher made a guest appearance on the Atlanta tour stop date and then also hopped on the remix, giving us the collab we always wanted.

3. Leon Thomas ‘Mutt’ feat, Chris Brown

Singer-songwriter Leon Thomas’ title track off the album MUTT was an undeniable hit. With a catchy hook explaining his doglike ways, Thomas had everyone singing along. Already having writing credits for artists like SZA, Ariana Grande, and Post Malone, the Grammy-nominated Thomas had a breakout year, proving he could not only write hits but sing/perform them as well. “MUTT,” the single, was so big in 2024 that it garnered a massive 2025 with Chris Brown, who we know always kills it as a feature, and he once again delivered. The remix’s co-sign from one of the greatest stars of the era stamped the song’s place in the culture’s history for good.

2. Kehlani ‘Folded’

With “Folded,” Kehlani perfectly captures the breakup-to-makeup part of a relationship, making it such a relatable hit. “To me, this feels like an explanation of, like, where I’m at in my musical journey at the moment,” they explained in a conversation on Big Boy TV. The song also spurred so many remixes by fans online and fellow hitmakers that Kehlani dropped the Folded Homage Pack, featuring iconic singers like Brandy, Tank, Toni Braxton, and more.

1. Kendrick Lamar ‘Luther’ feat. Sza

Kendrick Lamar and SZA‘s “Luther” leads the year-end Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs roundup, following its unstoppable run on the weekly version of the chart. It debuted on the chart dated Dec. 7, 2024, climbed to No. 1 just two weeks later, and was on the chart during the rest of the 2025 chart year (Oct. 26, 2024, through Oct. 18, 2025), never falling below No. 3.

These two are sure to sweep the Grammys again!!

Happy New Year! we look forward to MORE GREAT TUNES in 2026!!!
