We are only halfway through 2025 and there have already been a ton of exciting musical releases.
Whether it be in the Philippines or beyond, this year is already shaping up to be another remarkable one for music. Spanning various genres and pushing borders and boundaries, what the first half of 2025 has brought us has been nothing short of a plethora of musical stand-outs that are clear cuts above the rest. From top-tier and unique singles and albums to visually stunning music videos, it’s officially that time of the year where we round-up the best of the best so far.
However, before Billboard Philippines officially determines its picks, we want to hear it from you first: which songs, albums, and music videos, do you believe are truly the best of 2025 (so far)?
Whether it’s highly anticipated comebacks from SB19, BINI, and G-DRAGON; or electrifying albums in alternative music courtesy of SUYEN, Sleep Token, and Spiritbox; or heart-stirring music videos brought to us by Earl Agustin, Cup of Joe, and Jin of BTS, Billboard Philippines wants to know which artists’ work have left a lasting impression on you – the fans – throughout the first six months of 2025.
And so, ahead of us revealing our top picks, let us know below who do you think deserves the spotlight and recognition as one of the best musical releases of the year so far! The poll will run until June 5, 2025 (Thursday), 11:59 PM (PHT).
