Spotify's Best Of 2025 So Far Has Just Dropped

2025 has already been quite the year for those Aussies who have taken a page out of Addison Rae’s book and put their headphones on. There has been much to listen to, much to bop our heads to, and much to geek out over.

Though many of us are desperate to get our hands on our own personal Spotify Wrapped, to tide the nation over until December and celebrate the mid-year buzz, Spotify has released their official ‘Best of 2025 So Far.’

From ONEFOUR to Addison Rae, from true crime to ‘romantasy,’ read on to discover what Spotify deems to be the hottest albums, songs, podcasts, audiobooks, and even cultural moments of 2025 - so far.
