If the Hits 1 Top 30 of 2025 Made Sense

 

Hey guys! Every year, Hits 1 counts down the 30 biggest songs of that year, and the list never makes sense. I have entered every single countdown from 2025 into CrownNote, and it has given me a point total for every single song. I will be using those points to count down the actual 30 biggest songs of 2025. If you need a refresher of the original top 30 of 2025 list, you can view that here: https://zestpond.blogspot.com/2025/12/hits-1-top-30-of-2025.html

I have no idea how APT ended up being the #1 song on the original list, when undressed was clearly the biggest song of the year, and it wasn't even close.

That does it for now, see you guys next time!
