Just as quickly as it started, 2025 is soon coming to a close.
In a month’s time, we’ll be greeting the end of the year and gearing up for the incoming new year. Nevertheless, before we move on to 2026, it’s high time to revisit the hits that have made a big impact on the Philippine sonic landscape within the past year. From chart-dominating hitmakers to unexpected and exciting rising artists, we’ve welcomed music from all kinds of spaces and multiple genres. Still, in spite of the momentous year we’ve had for music so far, it narrows down to a single, crucial question: Who crafted the sound that defined 2025?
Here with Billboard Philippines, you can be the voice in spotlighting the music that truly stood out the past year.
Whether it be bright bubblegum pop pieces by Sabrina Carpenter and BINI, or irresistably catchy hip-hop hits by HELLMERRY, Tyler, The Creator, and Flow G, or powerful anthems by SB19 and Cup of Joe, both locally and internationally, there’s been a lot to witness in the growing music scene. This has been reflected in cultural movements, chart data, and in day-to-day life as a whole. Truly, there hasn’t been as exciting a time for music than today.
With that in mind, before 2025 comes to its end, Billboard Philippines shall tally your votes as you choose the best songs and albums that were released in 2025. Cast your vote and let your voice be heard in this pivotal and definitive moment. The poll will close on December 12, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. PHT.
