While our curators 1000% enjoyed these videos, it’s our fellow music fans that pushed these songs as the Top Videos of β€˜25.


β€˜NUEVAYoL’ by Bad Bunny - New York on full display, Nuyorican style. Make sure you stay for public service announcement by AI Generated Pres. Trump.

β€˜Times Like These’ by Addison Rae - β€˜Times Like These’ came through in a major way because in times like these, we all need a quick getaway via a ultra-hypnotic pop bop serving creative choreography (in heels) and shot in cinematic black and white.

β€˜Sugar On My Tongue’ by Tyler, the Creator - Some exceptional pieces of video were released in β€˜25 by creative maestro Tyler, the Creator for his album Don’t Tap The Glass. But for the dance party banger, β€˜Sugar On My Tongue’, Tyler himself grabbed the chair and directed β€˜Sugar On My Tongue’. This is a freaky good museum-grade exhibit.

β€˜BLISS’ by Tyla - The Afro Pop star, Tyla, released a bunch of viral hits in β€˜25, but the music video for β€˜BLISS’ kept us hanging out on repeat. Whoever said, β€œlet’s have Tyla swinging on a rope in the clouds” gets a raise.

β€˜mi refe’ by BeΓ©le & Ovy On The Drums - The performance/lyric video β€˜mi refe’ sits in between Nat Geo and Netflix, a sizzling hot jungle dance party but on a personal level where everyone dances with everyone. No appearances from the collaborators BeΓ©le and Ovy On The Drums in the video but plenty vibes for your eyes.

β€˜Choosin' Texas’ by Ella Langley - Gotta love that Ella Langley ain’t afraid of a little Jack, but in this video it’s the Texas two-stepping in the background that will have you floored. Also, the steel guitar on this is stuff aliens land on Earth for.

β€˜Eatin' Big Time’ by Tyler Childers - β€˜Eatin’ Big Time’ is an absolute barn burner of a song and the video is Indiana Jones style adventure by way of West Virginia. Steam this video and you’re sure to enjoy a cup runneth over of good times.

β€˜Cold Heart’ by NilΓΌfer Yanya - In the 21st century, aesthetic-only music videos are becoming a new format where performances and tropes are thrown aside for moving imagery that emits the vibe of the song. β€˜Cold Heart’ is one of the best examples of seemingly abstract imagery matched gracefully to a song: a lurching beauty, haunting you down to whisper poetry into your eyes.

β€˜Space’ by Hajaj - Hajaj is one incredible singer, and thankfully he busted through in β€˜25 with his deep, soulful blues songs. β€˜Space’ is a bluesy rock fever dream that wails with soulful guitars that slowly crank out Hajaj’s singing. The video opens the door into a mythical musician from London by way of Saudi Arabia, where the good stuff in music has been historically oppressed; the affect of oppression is tangible in Hajaj’s voice on β€˜Space’.

β€˜Space’ by Hajaj

β€˜Honeycomb’ by Panchiko - If you could grab a flying rug and cruise the night sky it might sound like Panchiko’s rocking song, β€˜Honeycomb’. For the music video, Panchiko continue their low-key flex with an animated video that unveils the wonder of Mister Moon.

β€˜Flood / Resurrect The Trap’ by BossMan Dlow - BossMan Dlow hit the gas in β€˜25 and took off on his competition. Florida’s new big man on campus takes hustler mentality and then molds it in the pursuit of excellence to break off bar after bar of grade A raps. On this double music video, the BossMan's spills dripped out lyrics like β€œWalk in my section, step in a puddle of ones” and β€œI’m the definition of who woulda ever thought” that set the stage for a video flooded with dope edits and CGI.

β€˜Now and at the Hour of Our Death’ by $UICIDEBOY$ (feat. Bones)
Fan love sums this one up: β€œHuge. Crazy to think how angle kind of started last year with Bones making his appearance in the crowd at GreyDay, walking into the pit area like the Undertaker lmao.” via @high-rise on reddit

β€˜Now and at the Hour of Our Death’ by $UICIDEBOY$ (feat. Bones)

β€˜BAD GUY’ by BIA - For Hip Hop fans, the sample on β€˜BAD GUY’ shines through and almost takes over the entire song but then BIA gets to rapping. After delivering her well-penned flows in perfect cadence, BIA headed to the Caribbean for the video shoot. The location of the video ties back to sample at hand and even pulls out some Belly β€˜98 influence for the Hip Hop heads who remember Tommy’s trip to Ox.

β€˜Starburst’ by Danny Brown - Danny Brown brought us into a new realm of his Detroit Hip Hop in 2025 when he his dropped new album, β€˜Stardust’. Taking on hyper-pop with hyper-drive lyricism, Danny Brown chisels out a lane for Hip Hop to escape doomsday.

'CRANK’ by Slayyyter - All gas, no brakes must be β€˜25’s EDM/hyperpop breakout star Slayyyter’s motto because she is coming in hot right now. If you haven’t turned up in β€˜26, change that now by clicking into her official music video for β€˜CRANK’.

β€˜Blessings’ by Calvin Harris, Clementine Douglas - Clementine Douglas is a London-based singer who is bringing house music from the dance floor into the living for everyone to enjoy. As such, Clementine Douglas makes for a perfect collaboration with the #DancePop goat, Calvin Harris. β€˜Blessings’ is a massive track, brightened up with building piano stabs that chase Clementine's powerful vocals from start to finish, β€œno looking back this time”.

β€˜Dior’ by MK feat. Chrystal - There’s something special about catching an epic DJ set at secret spot. Always totally packed, the energy of the partygoers combines and the DJ’s songs and skills and vibes ricochet throughout the room. When great dance tracks like β€˜Dior’ drop, they pull the crowd into a synch with DJ and group magic ensues.

β€˜Break the Silence’ by Nevertel and Sleep Theory - Two new metal bands making major waves in rock teamed up on one track and then, in case you needed the proof, they threw down in an Ultrawide screen music video. Let’s go!

β€˜Elevator Operator’ by Electric Callboy - You’re probably guilty of pressing all the buttons on the elevator at least once, but it’s certainly never turned out like this. Hold on to your laptop before clicking into this insane metal banger from Electric Callboy. You’ve been warned bro!

β€˜Elevator Operator’ by Electric Callboy


β€˜Caramel’ by Sleep Token - If Adam was bound to eat that apple in the Garden of Eden, then why not cover it caramel and make the whole thing original sin thing all the more sweet. When Vessel of Sleep Token created Caramel all the genres were melted together. The song wades in as a quiet, dark lullaby and then layers on the reggaeton before breaking loose as a hard rock song that drifts into electro pop just before an all out melodic heavy metal ending with a final reprise of the dark lullaby that got Sleep Token into this sticky situation of a song.
