No. 10: \u201cSports car\u201d by Tate McRae. \u201cI think you know what this is.\u201d \u2013 This song slithers. It thumps, it exhales just so. No. 9: \u201cA-lister\u201d by Romy Mars. \u201cBut I\u2019m not a real girl anymore.\u201d \u2013 So this is the perfect nepo baby pop song, making an argument for celebrity while also being, like, Oh no, couldn\u2019t be me. No. 8.: \u201cLast Shot\u201d by templuv, 347aidan. This song has it all: pop punk, SoundCloud rap, new wave wrapped up in the thrill of winning a video game competition. No. 7 is \u201cSpecial\u201d by dexter in the newsagent. \u201cI can give you all you want and more.\u201d \u2013 It\u2019s OK to whisper in someone\u2019s ear. It\u2019s OK to feel warm. It\u2019s OK to feel loved. No. 6: \u201c2025 XXL Freshman Freestyle\u201d by Ian. \u201cDamn, I\u2019m on my Britney [expletive]. Oops, I hit again. Damn, I\u2019m on my DJ Khaled [expletive] We the best.\u201d \u2013 A lot of you are going to complain about this. A lot of you are going to say this is wrong. But I promise you, even now, months later, you still know the words. \u2013 You know the words. \u2013 You know the words. \u2013 You know the words. So that was 10 through 6. Stay tuned for my top five.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<header class=\"css-jgknzh\">\n<div class=\"css-1gn3fip\">\n<div class=\"css-vabf4\">\n<div class=\"css-1331l0f\"><nyt-betamax class=\"css-wkvudm\"><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/player-0.2.10-BFNcGY1P.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-cover><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/cover-0.2.10-eTrf0IGY.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-poster><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/poster-0.2.10-BdueiXaE.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-poster><\/nyt-betamax-cover><nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/overlay-controls-0.2.10-CxT1wDjU.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/scrubber-0.2.10-allGBXvP.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><nyt-betamax-ads><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/ads-0.2.10-C_YVzzUG.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-ads><\/nyt-betamax><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1r2245g\"><span class=\"css-hple31\">Jon Caramanica, host of The Times\u2019s \u201cPopcast,\u201d counts down Nos. 10 through 6, from Tate McRae to the XXL Freshman Freestyle, ahead of his top five.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By Jon Caramanica, Arjun Srivatsa and Joe Coscarelli<\/p>\n<p>December 23, 2025<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.nytimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: The Best Songs of 2025, Part 1 transcript Back transcript The Best Songs of 2025, Part 1 Jon Caramanica, host of The Times\u2019s \u201cPopcast,\u201d counts down Nos. 10 through 6, from Tate McRae to the XXL Freshman Freestyle, ahead of his top five. \u2013 These are my 10 favorite songs of 2025.
