AP’s top songs of 2025: ‘Lo que le pasó a Hawaii,’ ‘Abracadabra’ and more

AP’s top songs of 2025: ‘Lo que le pasó a Hawaii,’ ‘Abracadabra’ and more

NEW YORK — The Associated Press has selected the 10 best songs of the year, presented in no particular order. AP’s top songs of 2025: ‘Lo que le pasó a Hawaii,’ ‘Abracadabra’ and more Read on and then listen to all of the tracks on our Spotify playlist. Selecting just one song from Bad Bunny’s pivotal 2025 album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” is a fool’s errand. Most would likely select one of the ubiquitous, up-tempo hits: “DtMF,” “Baile Inolvidable,” “NuevaYol.” And they’d be just as right. But at its heart, this album is both Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio’s love letter to Puerto Rico and his fierce protection of it. Nowhere is that made more apparent than on “Lo que le pasó a Hawaii” , a rallying cry for Puerto Rico’s cultural autonomy in an era of neocolonialization. It begins with a somber Bad Bunny lamenting over the scrape of a güiro — a folkloric percussive instrument made of a hollow gourd. It sounds like inherited history and modernity all in one, a kind of political, …

Chappell Roan Recalls Getting Humiliated by The Voice Producer During Audition: ‘He Didn’t Even Look Up…’

Chappell Roan tried her luck on reality TV competitions years before her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. She auditioned for America’s Got Talent at 13 and The Voice at 15. However, unfortunately, none of those auditions led to anything fruitful for the singer.  In a recent interview with W Magazine, Roan recalled her disappointing audition for The Voice and revealed how she felt humiliated by the producer judging her vocal skills.  “The producer or whoever the f*ck was watching did not even look up from his phone,” she said. “He was like, ‘OK, next.’ And I went up there and sang a cappella, the scariest thing ever. He never really looked at me.” FYI – she sang Rihanna’s song Stay that day. Roan, born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, also auditioned for America’s Got Talent at 13. She traveled with her family to Austin, Texas, and waited in line for hours to sing Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors, but she couldn’t make it to the next level. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter is known for carrying …
