A song a day for 2025, curated by the editor. Fresh from the newsroom, straight to your ears.
There’s no theme or genre — just whatever song was most listened to, or whatever has most significance for that day. It’s all over the place, so consider yourself warned: the jump from classic Hall & Oates to Japanese idol shoegaze can be pretty vicious!
