The best 101 songs of 2025. The best of the songs of the week

WECB-Friday-top-101-2025

Closing a year also means putting order into the noise. For this reason we have collected 101 songs taken directly from WECB Friday, the event that every Friday marked the rhythm of the months, the releases, the enthusiasm and the surprises of this musical 2025.

The result is a compilation-monster, over six and a half hours of continuous listening, which crosses Italian and international music without hierarchies or podiums. No ranking, no vote: just a long sonic trajectory that follows the release calendar, from January to December, like a diary listened to on headphones.

It is a condensation of the best – or rather, the most significant – that we have intercepted week after week: songs that have left a mark, others that have worked in subtraction, some that have simply resisted the short time of the algorithm. However, they all tell the story of a year of music without shortcuts.

The playlist is there, ready to scroll.
No order of merit, just chronological order.
Pressing play is the only instruction. Good music.
