Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen tops the year’s Hot 100 Artists recap, marking his second career No. 1 finish in the category, after he led in 2023.

“Die With a Smile” also crowns two of the three year-end charts reflecting the three metrics — streaming, radio airplay and sales — that contribute to the Hot 100, as it wraps at No. 1 on Streaming Songs and Radio Songs, while Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” tops the year’s Digital Song Sales roundup.

Additionally, the REPUBLIC Collective rules the 2025 Hot 100 Labels ranking.

The Billboard Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.

Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts dated Oct. 26, 2024, through Oct. 18, 2025. Rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the titles appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the October-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.
