Behind the project
A labor of love for music and data
I'm Everett. I love music, data, and technology. Each year, I look
through the many
"Best Songs of the Year" lists to find new music
I might have missed. There are so many songs (...
so far this year)! I often prioritize my listening order with a
ranking. This site is a result of that obsession and an excuse to
try using AI for frontend development.

How it works
Build your own 2025 definitive ranking
This site aggregates "Best Songs of 2025" lists
from US/UK music industry sites, critics, niche/genre sites, and
the mainstream press.
By default, the ranking prioritizes consensus and crossover
hits, seasoned with a bit of my own genre and source
biases.
