[Ryan]

I was going to ask if "Anxiety" by Doechii is really a 2025 song, but it looks like it was originally a 2019 song that she re-recorded in 2025, so I'd say that counts

I would maybe switch "True Believer" and "Parachute" for Hayley Williams, unless you're basing those positions on year-end list appearances. Same thing with Olivia Dean's "So Easy (To Fall In Love)" and "Nice to Each Other".

I would maybe have "Never Enough" by Turnstile a bit higher, just because in addition its acclaim, it was also a Billboard alternative #1, whatever topping a radio chart means in 2025.

[ManPerson]

I made those changes.

[Dubrow555]

Would it make sense to include "I Lied To You" from Sinners?

[ManPerson]

It doesn't seem particularly popular or acclaimed.

[Dubrow555]

sounds good.
