Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny & More: Who Had the Best Album of 2025? Vote!
After 2024 was absolutely jam-packed with major album releases, no one at the beginning of this year could have predicted that 2025 would have an even fuller slate — but thanks to a litany of new projects from Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny and more stars, it absolutely did.
The two American pop stars and Puerto Rican supernova all unveiled standout LPs this year, with all three of them finishing 2025 on the year-end Billboard 200 — and in the top 10 of Billboard‘s year-end staff ranking. Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl obliterated records for biggest opening sales week in modern history, Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend earned her a second-ever No. 1 entry on the U.S. albums chart, and Benito’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos helped him nab the headlining slot at next year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. But those were just three of the biggest releases.
Also making waves at the end of 2025 are Lady Gaga’s Mayhem, which saw Mother Monster re-embracing the dark dance pop that fans first fell in love with, and Rosalía’s Lux, the expansive, experimental, long-awaited follow-up to her critically acclaimed Motomami. Clipse shocked fans by reuniting for the feature-filled Let God Sort Em Out, the duo’s first full-length in more than 15 years, and Olivia Dean established herself as one of this year’s biggest breakouts with The Art of Loving.
With so much music defining the 12 months that made up 2025, it’s more difficult than ever to choose a favorite album of the year — but after serious listening, deliberating and voting, Billboard unveiled our ranked list on Wednesday (Dec. 10). Now, it’s your turn.
