"Song of the Summer 2025 - the "comprehensive" experience"


  

          

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPa7bsKwL-c


ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekr2nIex040


SZA - BMF

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWjwNgiLMgA


Lola Young - messy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-k2_Liofy8



Some newer songs are....treading water


The Weeknd - cry for me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn8gP5N8hqM


Tate McRae - sportscar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7InTkBxPtK4


Teddy Swims - the door

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSXT4a2kRHA



but...

Some songs are seeming to be somewhat making a mark




803Fresh - Boots On The Ground (Official Music Video) "Where Them Fans At?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQxQZV66Bl8


Billie Ellish - Wildflower

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l08Zw-RY__Q


SZA/Kendrick - luther

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNY_2TEmzho


Again, off we go...even as the picture clarifies...got to kick this examination off early


naomi cannnibal has done a vid on how this Summer seems to be off to a slow start as far as standout songs:


um...where's the Song of the Summer?

...eh...

Seems like it is going to be a low-key balanced Summer with some of the last Summer's songs (and 2022 and 2023's Summer songs) still around...Some songs from the earlier part of the year still around...some newer songs getting some "respectable" amount of rotation (but not seeming like people are "singling" any particular song out as "special"

This song might do alright...maybe...


Maroon 5 feat. Lisa - priceless

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaGf8fmtBr4



Luther by SZA and Kendrick is doing good - so SZA is seeming to claim that Rih Rih spot.

especially with the tour, it feels like Luther is going to stick around another couple months

now, i think he's really just put out one official single this year and it was on some country shit...and i get he's from Texas and that influence seeps in here and there even if you're not from the country...but i hate that stuff lol so i hope he's leaning into that (even if he's only doing it as a cash grab).

Summer 2025 sort of slow start - ramble around the past, recent past and present.


People don't seem to be taking to the Lisa/Maroon 5 song that much.

Miley Cyrus new song sort of the same moderate profile:

End of the world

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXBFU97X61I


Alex Warren - ordinary (seems to be getting pretty big)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2ah9tWTkmk


Doechii - Anxiety (been around for a while but seems to be staying at a high level)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riCP9x31Kuk


Looking at the Billboard 100 Morgan Wallen the country artist seems to be DOMINANT.

Seems like a lot of mid-range popularity tracks building up for a decent amount of variety.

Myles Smith - stargazing (been around for a while but still very present)


https://youtu.be/tKml80alH3Y?si=6RWvmauYtLW51t6m


Ariana Grande - Twilight Zone (seems like her usual summer type song)

https://youtu.be/5UE2kT5LxE0?si=DVFC-lT8j53KQTB-


Benson Boone - sorry I'm here for someone else (seems pretty big but not running away with it)


https://youtu.be/O7Dt2L_rAhI?si=7vyd5hlmYi0oZBSS


Ravyn Lanae - love me not (might do okay - like most of the rest

https://youtu.be/cswfR85D7jM?si=u0SEu6X_sUGf09Rb




Edit: oh my....oh my....oh my....oh my...

Mariah RIPPED IT!!!!!

Dangerous Type

things are bumbling along with one mid-level profile song after the other - keeping songs from YEARS past in regular rotation.

I guess that's an "okay" way to stroll through a summer.


almost monday - can't slow down (another piece of the mid-level tapestry)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v18oySsS58


Doesn't seem like radio wants to get behind Mariah's and Paak's song.
