yeah....

This is part "tradition" - part how I keep tabs of the summer going along (the older I get, the earlier I feel summer slips away - March is seeming to be the new starting point of that feeling)


So....yeah, this post is here - and songs that probably won't be top 10 pop or R&B might be discussed due to their "contribution" overall to the summer of 2025.


So....

Lot's of hits from Doja Cat and Sabrina Carpenter are still lingering around.


Some songs that are somewhat long-in-the-tooth are kinda staying around/kinda fading:


Bruno/Gaga - die with a smile
