This is fantastic
I made a Worst Hit Songs of 2025 list
I recommend reading through it rather than just checking the songs. Could spark some interesting conversations. :) buttondown.com/AlsThoughtsA...

They put the dark parts where you can’t see what the fuck is happening in the trailer, not a good sign. (First bad sign was its existence)

First installment across the whole week of Chuck’s always must-read year ends
NEW!!! First installment of a seven-part series I’m running all week about my 80 favorite 2025 singles. 1200 or so words per post. Part One, after an intro and acknowledgements, focuses on lady rappers: Bunna B, Hot Girls, Shelailai, Lil M.U., and — back together after 34 years — L’Trimm.
80 Best Singles of 2025 (+5), Part One
In 2025, I liked more singles from the Philippines, singles from the Middle East, Southern soul singles, and goth/industrial/electroclash singles than I ever would have predicted.
