Even after listing the best albums and the best songs of the year, some indelible 2025 music slipped through the cracks. Timothée Chalamet rapping U.K. drill while promoting a table tennis movie? That did happen. The Atlanta swag-rap renaissance? It was bubbling. And witnessing the YoungBoy Never Broke Again tour across the country? Definitely worth remembering.
For the last Popcast episode of this calendar year, the hosts Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli leaned into how they experienced listening, as both fans and journalists, for the last 12 months, and ranked their personal favorite music moments, defined broadly enough to include both the sublime bridge of a breakup song and the life span of a rap meme.
