Year-End in Review: How'd the Greatest Pop Stars Fare on Our Year-End Albums and Songs Lists?
Description
It's year-end season on Billboard.com! After debuting our year-end charts on Tuesday, our editorial staff unveiled its 50 favorite albums and 100 favorite songs of 2025 on Wednesday and Thursday. Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard executive director of music Jason Lipshutz this week to review the top 10s of both lists, and to discuss how some of our greatest pop stars — Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift and the KPop Demon Hunters cast among them — fared, and what implications it might have for the 2025 Greatest Pop Stars race.
