2025 - #1 for the year according to Billboard Magazine is "Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. Kudos to Bruno for also showing up at #9 with ROSE for "APT."

Wednesday  12/31/25 New Year's Eve (at least a 5 can be made into a 6 easily! and thank heaven's that we aren't going 2026 to 2027 this year (the 6-7 meme should be dead by next year!)) Celebrate: Hogmanay - the Scottish New Year celebration. Coinciding with New Year's Eve, it started during ancient pagan times, and may have stemmed from Norse and Gaelic observances—its roots may be in the Winter Solstice and Yule celebrations marked by the Norse, and it may have brought in c

Here we go. Starting with my top 5 from #5 to #1. Then some of the others I enjoyed this year! Find it here on House-Mixes.com

My #1 for the year is a song that hung around the most. It was a Lady Gaga year with the glorious Mayhem album featuring "Abracadabra." It has received four nominations for the upcoming 68th Annual Grammy Awards, including Record and Song of the Year. Siouxsie and the Banshees members Susan Janet Ballion, Peter Edward Clarke, Steven Severin, and John McGeoch received songwriting credits, as it incorporates elements from their 1981 single "Spellbound". It made #13, #27 AC, #1

Tuesday 12/30/25 Celebrate: Bacon Day Falling Needles Family Fest Day Festival of Enormous Changes at the Last Minute Naitonal Bicarbonate of Soda Day -- The internet is currently divided over Martha Stewart’s "bagel habit," and it is surprisingly fierce. A simple post about how she prepares her morning bagel has sparked a debate so intense that some commenters are jokingly saying she should "go back to jail" for her topping choices. It’s proof that nothing triggers people li

My #2 for the year was almost #1. Love this so much. Gone Gone Gone by David Guetta w/Teddy Swims and Tones & I Teddy Swims is in my mix by himself but this dance song is killer! And where has Tones & I been?? She smashes it out of the park! It peaked (so far) at #91, #26 AC, #9 Adult Pop Airplay, #1 Dance/Mix Show Airplay, #14 Pop Airplay. The dance mix is good in its own right! Sampling versions of "Hold That Sucker Down." I still think there is another song that it reminds

At my #3 is a remix from DJ Don Diablo . Classic song, nice rework, welcome it back! "Lose Control" is the Missy Elliot song remixed. It originally peaked at #3 and #5 Club.

It truly was a Gaga Year. Three in the mix, and "Die With A Smile" with Bruno Mars at #4. A one off song, that Gaga included on her Mayhem album, this sons was a global smash! It did show up in my year end list last year, this year it's in the top 5.  Spotify's most-streamed song of 2025. It also became one of the longest-reigning number-one songs in Billboard Global 200 with eighteen weeks on top. It was nominated for Song of the Year and won for Best Pop Duo/Group Performan

Time to check out my personal top 5 of the year. I won’t sugarcoat it, I thought this year was weak musically, especially in dance music/. There were songs that were good, but ones that you couldn’t stop listening to were rare. There was no shared, or even a song that defined the summer. Worst summer ever for music. If a song appeared inmy top 5 last year, it won't be here. APT by Rose and Joyride from Kesha hung around in the early part of the year. Still disappointed that t
