Who are the winners of 2025?

I'll go first:

wow I had no idea Iggy did that. I did a quick search and she also started a cellphone company and some shopping site that seems to be performing well. Good for her!!

Taylor Swift

Taylor is finishing 2025 with the biggest album and the biggest female solo song of the year. So her, definitely.

She almost up there with Iggy

This was the year of Bad Bunny and Gaga

Geese

Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie

Bad Bunny and Gaga

Im not sure about Taylor. I mean.. in terms of popularity, she's bigger than ever and the most successful artist. But in terms of quality she's getting worse. But definetly an interesting year for her, sure

2025 was the year Lady Gaga cemented her modern legend status (if it wasn't clear enough to anyone already).

A total banner year for her and easily among the biggest winners.

Zero artistic integrity
Toilet paper quality output
Insatiable greed for money and success

I'm glad you're happy that it charted tho!
