Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen Spotify Wrapped stats roll in from bands and fans alike, while media outlets are slowly starting to publish their year-end lists. It’s that time of year for reflection, no matter where you are in the world.
In 2025, I listened to way more music than I had in the past four years — though still not quite as much as I used to. I discovered a bunch of new bands like Raskob Rails, Melonball, Back Teeth, CF98, and rediscovered some old favorites like Elway, The Penske File, 4ft Finger, Engrave, and Nerdlinger. So I figured it was time to put together a little best-of playlist with my favorite singles of the year. I capped it at 100 tracks.
This playlist spans somes gender of punk like; pop punk, skatepunk, melodic punk rock… and it’s packed with great bands; Killing Daisies, Armatage Shank, Bedtime For Charlies, Jukebox Romantics, Loser Points, 84 Days, Imperial Exit, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Brookhurst, Heartwell, Church Fight, Dillinger Four, You Vandals, Inside Riot, Jet8 and many more.
This is not a singles chart—the order of the songs does not indicate that one track is better than the other 99. Please keep that in mind. And this is not a playlist for added any other songs.
Find the playlist now on our Spotify account — and don’t miss our other Best of 2025 playlists: hardcore singles and ska, added soon on our Punkterview blog.
