How will you remember 2025 in mainstream music?

I’ll remember it as the year Drake couldn’t bounce back from losing the battle

Some good projects tho from other artists

Two words: Drake is the goat.

Drake lost

but srs mainstream was really bad this year

Streaming. The illusion of choice

How is this possible when everyone is listening to that latest Drake and Central Cee song all the time? I hear it everywhere I go. In my car. At the gym. At the clubs. Something fishy is going on

What song never heard of it

NO No ITS JUST Rap
HIPHOPMUSIC IS DEAD.
DID U HEAR??
NO GooD STREAMING is THE ONLY answer 4 this.
i miss my generation of music, new s*** is crap
TBT when radio stations ran top 40s with payola #goodoledays

Its because the industry still has problems measuring the value of streaming. So songs true impact arent being reflected on the charts.

Plus with the democratization of music there's just more niches that are being fulfilled by smaller artists.

Absolute TRASH just like the rest of the decade

UK streams don’t count

you tried

get ready for the 30s and 40s :)

I, for one, am ready for our AI overlords to save music

Another 2014 to 2015 type of vibe.

Drake dropped a lot of music this year bud

wym

They keep changing the rules for the billboards.

Drakes mid music contributes to this stat

Which one did not stream well

I'll never forget Allen Warden. Generational talent

Also the worst #1 hits

Seems fitting considering how bad the year has been, I can't mention more than 2-3 songs that reached #1
