Kendrick Lamar and SZA Are 2025’s Dynamic Duo
Whether they were releasing new albums, performing at the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, or dominating playlists and airwaves alike, TDE labelmates Kendrick Lamar and SZA have been as busy as ever over the last 12 months. That hard work has paid off, especially on the Top Songs of 2025: Global chart, where Kendrick ends the year with five songs in the Top 25—more than any other artist—and SZA is close behind with three songs. On top of that, some of the pair’s biggest success came from working together, with their collabs on “luther” (No. 2) and “30 For 30” (No. 10) reaching the upper echelons of our Top Songs chart.
Lola Young Shines Bright
Following her star-making collab with Tyler, The Creator on “Like Him,” Lola Young went on a hot streak in 2025 as “Messy” caught fire around the world, ending the year at No. 2 on the Top 100: Shazam chart, No. 3 on the Top 100: Global Radio chart, and No. 27 on Top Songs of 2025: Global. On the UK charts, Lola ended the year as the highest-ranking UK artist, finishing the year at No. 4.
This year’s Shazam chart also includes a number of viral hits, like MOLIY’s Afropop anthem “Shake It To The Max (FLY) [REMIX],” which ends the year at No. 5. Not only does Doechii’s genre-bending “Anxiety” claim the No. 8 spot, but the track that it samples—Gotye’s 2011 smash “Somebody That I Used to Know”—lands at No. 17. And speaking of throwbacks, the 1998 Goo Goo Dolls hit “Iris” rides its summer resurgence all the way to No. 66.
KPop Demon Hunters Strikes ‘Gold’
It’s impressive enough that the KPop Demon Hunters hit “Golden” ends the year at No. 15 on the Top Songs of 2025: Global chart. But reaching No. 4 on both the Top 100: Lyrics and Top 100: Sing charts truly underscores the song’s—and the soundtrack’s—cultural impact in 2025. Featuring a who’s who of talent in the songwriting and production credits, including EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, and Teddy, the song spent 70 consecutive days at No. 1 on the Daily Top 100—the most total days any song spent in the top spot this year—before it was dethroned by Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia.”
Other notable moments on the Lyrics chart include Kendrick Lamar leading all artists with nine songs in the Top 100 (headlined by the SZA-assisted “luther”) and Gigi Perez’s viral indie-folk hit “Sailor Song” landing at No. 30. As for the Sing chart, Radiohead’s 1992 classic “Creep” appears on the list for a second straight year, jumping 37 spots to No. 11.
There’s plenty more to discover on Apple Music’s year-end charts, including the Top 100: Fitness—led by Switch Disco’s “REACT (D.O.D. Remix) at No. 1—and featured playlists from 2025's top songwriters. Check out and listen to the full suite of year-end charts on Apple Music.
