With the end of 2025 in sight, we pause to update our running list of the year’s best songs. Our latest adds include the (possibly twisted) dance pop of JADE, a brutal but affecting story song from S.G. Goodman, power pop from the band Liquid Mike and more. But we open with a question: Benson Boone... kinda awesome? Featured artists and songs: 1. Liquid Mike: “Double Dutch,” from ‘Hell Is An Airport’ 2. Cleo Reed: “Always the Horse, Never the Jockey (feat. IWEWE),” from ‘C**try’ 3. JADE: “Plastic Box,” from ‘THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY!’ 4. S.G. Goodman: “Snapping Turtle," from 'Planting by the Signs’ 5. Ken Pomeroy: “Stranger,” from ‘Cruel Joke’ Weekly reset: A breezy, Sunday morning in a small town Enjoy the show?
