It’s halfway through the year so time for the traditional best song so far thread! So…

WITHOUT saying “Ordinary” by Alex Warren, what is the best new track of 2025 so far?

This is a hill I will die on.

Cesar Romero is the best Joker too.

'Best Batman' is one of those 'the date is over' questions if they get the answer wrong, and the answer is Adam West.

If you'd told me 10 years ago that I'd much rather listen to a Miley Cyrus track over Oasis I'd have scoffed.

But here we are today...

I Wish is probably the best combination in match 1 here, but I do love Give It Up by KC and the Sunshine Band. Pure joy.

That Art pop group in the Peoples Poll has so many great tunes. And people say modern music is rubbish. Absolute cobblers.

Whenever I hear people online blaming ‘Woke’

A still from the UK comedy show Brass Eye featuring Bruno Brookes holding a big yellow tablet (cake) the text says “Sure, we all like to be down and groovy but only a fool would say yes to 'Woke!”

A still from the UK comedy show Brass Eye featuring Bernard Manning in front of a big yellow tablet (cake) the text says One young kiddie who turned Woke, cried pure tofu for a week, just imagine how his mother felt.

A still from the UK comedy show Brass Eye featuring Noel Edmunds the text says 'Woke' is a psychoactive belief system that manifests in a part of the brain called 'Shatner's Bassoon'

A still from the UK comedy show Brass Eye featuring Jimmy Greaves holding a big yellow tablet (cake) the text says Use your cheese box and say no to 'Woke'

#Top24of24 Day 24. The rest have been unranked but this has been my favourite song of the year. Red Wine Supernova might get my vote in the pop polls though (still think Guilty Pleasure is my favourite from the album) youtu.be/1RKqOmSkGgM?...
