[straightorbroken]

[Berly]

Grace Davies - Super Love Me
Sugababes - Jungle

[disneyteletubby]

There are just a few, but I think I like more this year than last year.

The pop ones:

• Lady Gaga - Abracadabra
• Doechii - Anxiety (I know it's originally from 2019)
• Jade - Angel Of My Dreams
• Miley Cyrus - End Of The World

---

Actual favourites I regularly listen to (I like all the new songs by the artists so far)

• Tanita Tikaram - Fear And Chills (live version)
• Tasmin Archer - Vibration of Life

---

The 2025 Boadicea sample of the year which kind of tricked us into thinking it was for a new Enya song

• HNTR - Victory

♡ I can only hope there'll be actual new Enya songs this year too...

 

[Shoat]

I have zero sense of what was 2025 and what was actually 2021 but only broke through this year, nor what is a single and what isn't these days, nor what's real and what is EVIL AI, so this is likely an incorrect list but

Sombr - Back To Friends
Sugababes - Weeds
Ariana Grande - Warm
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco - Bluest Flame
Childish Gambino - Survive
Confidence Man and Jade - Gossip
Doechii - Denial Is A River
Sam Fender - Wild Long Lie
Lola Young - Messy
The Weeknd - Give Me Mercy
Manic Street Preachers - Critical Thinking
HAIM - Down To Be Wrong
Lady Gaga - Perfect Celebrity
The revamped BASIC REDUCTIVE CAMP Home And Away theme resurrected in 2025
I'm Doonise - assorted Katy Perry dancing memes

 

[Lucille]

 

[Lucille]

Has no one mentioned HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME yet? I remain appalled this hasn’t been released as a single.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Well!

Lady Gaga - How Bad Do You Want Me
Tamta - Miles High
Meira Omar - Hush Hush
Kesha ft. Jade - Boy Crazy
Dove Cameron - French Girls
Rebecca Black - Sugar Water Cyanide
Ceechyna - Peggy
Cupcake - One of my Bedbugs ate my pussy

...and shamefully....

Huntr/x - What It Sounds Like

 

[Lucille]

Ceechyna - Peggy

OI MATE

 

[FetchFugly]

Not in order, but i surprised myself whipping this up (will keep adding):

I am quite taken with the Euro abandon of that Nuovo Testamento EP.

 

[FetchFugly]

Well it is all new, with one exception.

And in heavy rotation at the start of the year I'd add:

Hot For You Baby - Tina Turner
On and On and On - Klara Hammarström
Abracadabra - Lady Gaga
Weight of Desire - Tennis

 

[straightorbroken]

I am quite taken with the Euro abandon of that Nuovo Testamento EP.

They put out the best 2 songs before the EP dropped, so I was slightly disappointed there wasn't even better to come, but Cathy Dennis, Dannii, Kym Sims, etc are all fragrantly ehoed in these songs for me. If you're not already familiar, they started out with slightly gothy post-punk 80s style pop (The Searcher, Heartbeat being the ones I like).





@alla do you know of them?

 

[wildchild]

Lady Gaga - Don’t Call Tonight

Surprised if it’s not #1 in Spotify Wrapped this year.

 

[disneyteletubby]

I might add

♡

 

[disneyteletubby]

Also adding Madame Joy by Tasmin Archer ♡ and some from Tanita Tikaram that'll be released at midnight (her album LIAR (Love Isn't A Right))
