Drake allegedly looked to have the Wu-Tang Clan bless the official “Wu-Tang Forever” remix, but the legendary Staten Island crew never ended up hopping on the 2013 Nothing Was the Same standout.

Method Man joined 7PM in Brooklyn on the Monday (Dec. 8) episode, during which he discussed rumors of Drake looking to recruit the Wu on “Wu-Tang Forever,” which samples the iconic group’s “It’s Yourz,” but Meth said he didn’t see a connection from Drake’s track to the Clan’s second album.

“I like Drake, I think he’s a dope artist. He puts out some great music, obviously, he wouldn’t be as big as he is,” he said. “But when he sent the record, some brothers was trying to write to it and s—t, and I’m sitting there like, ‘I don’t like it.’”

Method Man continued: “I was like, ‘What does this have to do with Wu-Tang Forever?’ I’m not questioning his artistic ability or anything. I’m just saying, for my taste, I was more or less like, ‘I’m not getting on that.’”

OVO Sound’s Mr. Morgan pushed back against Method Man’s claims, and he alleged in a since-deleted Instagram comment viewed by Billboard that all present members of the Wu-Tang Clan penned a verse to hop on the “Wu-Tang Forever” remix outside of GZA. Billboard has reached out to Mr. Morgan for clarification.

“Wu-Tang Forever” peaked at No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 13 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. A video was never released, but A$AP Rocky allegedly appeared in an unreleased visual shot in Harlem.

An early 2016 episode of OVO Sound Radio also saw A$AP Lou and J. Scott share an unreleased version of “Wu-Tang Forever” featuring a verse from Rocky.

Morgan Wallen let Taylor Swift have a turn — her first — at No. 1 on Billboard’s year-end Top Streaming Songs Artists chart in 2024, but in 2025, the king took back his crown.

Wallen, who first reigned on the list for the first time in 2023 following a steady incline (No. 4 in 2022, No. 11 in 2021) and dipped to No. 2 in 2024, returns to No. 1 in 2025 on the heels of the release of his fourth album, I’m the Problem, in May.

Explore All of Billboard’s 2025 Year-End Charts

The LP topped the Billboard 200 for 12 weeks (and Top Country Albums for even longer; in fact, it hasn’t been toppled from No. 1 yet as of early December 2025) and spurred a trio of No. 1s on the weekly Streaming Songs chart in “Love Somebody,” “I’m the Problem” and “What I Want.” The latter, which features Tate McRae, reigned for six weeks, Wallen’s second-longest ruler after the 19-frame domination of “Last Night” in 2023.

But while “Last Night” was also 2023’s year-end Streaming Songs No. 1, Wallen doesn’t claim the top spot for 2025. In fact, none of the songs from I’m the Problem even reach the top 10.

A look back at the Streaming Songs chart for 2025 would be remiss without a mention of the elephant in the room: songs just stick around longer these days. Streaming hits of yore were capital-S successes, sure, but only the ubiquitous, inescapable, cultural-moment behemoths were the types to hang around on the Streaming Songs chart for even half a year, let alone a year.

But on the final ranking of the 2025 chart year (this year’s parameters were Oct. 26, 2024-Oct. 18, 2025), eight songs had Streaming Songs histories that stretched past 52 weeks. One — Zach Bryan’s 2022 American Heartbreak hit “Something in the Orange” — broke the record for the most time spent on Streaming Songs in its history, now at 153 weeks and counting. A second, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” has since Bryan in the 100-week club, now sitting at 104.

One of those eight songs, the Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars duet “Die With a Smile,” is the year-end Streaming Songs No. 1 for 2025.

“Die With a Smile” was strong out of the gate. It debuted at No. 3 on the Aug. 31, 2024, chart and only fell out of the weekly top five when the Christmas season’s usual fare blanketed the tally. And what was ready for its day in the sun once holiday decorations were put back into storage? “Die With a Smile,” which spent its first of three weeks at No. 1 on the Jan. 11 list.

Though its reign was short lived, the song remained in the top 10 through May and only recently departed the tally, racking up formidable numbers well past its 1^st birthday. It may surprise some folks that despite both Gaga and Mars coming into their own as superstars around the dawn of the streaming era, “Die With a Smile” is their first year-end Streaming Songs No. 1; in fact, it’s Gaga’s first top 10, while Mars had risen as high as No. 2 as a featured act (Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk,” 2015) and No. 5 as a lead (“That’s What I Like,” 2017).

 Though it’s poetic, in a way. Some have argued that streaming’s slowing pace when it comes to the hits continuing to be hits for months or even years on end more resembles the general disposition of radio holding on to its own major successes for longer periods of time. Gaga and Mars may not have had triumphs on the year-end Streaming Songs chart in the past, but they have been and remain radio darlings, certainly; Mars has 10 No. 1s on the weekly Radio Songs chart, while Gaga boasts three, plus 12 top 10s. As streaming continues into an era increasingly defined by algorithmic playlisting and listening, who better to benefit than two artists whose songs have helped define Pop Airplay for the past decade-and-a-half?

Whatever the reason, there’s no denying that “Die With a Smile” was a juggernaut on streaming services in 2025. And its release year of 2024 is shared by eight of the top 10 songs on the year-end ranking. Some of those were late-in-the-year releases such as Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” (No. 2) and Lamar’s “TV Off,” featuring Lefty Gunplay (No. 9), sure (both songs first hit the weekly chart in December 2024, meaning their run occurred during the 2025 chart year). But many more, like the Nos. 3 (Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and 5 (Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” were more in line with “Die With a Smile”: mid-2024 hits that, months and months later, were still hits.

The two exceptions? Well, one’s only such insofar as, sure, it didn’t come out in 2024 — it was released in 2023. That’s the aforementioned “Lose Control,” which comes in at No. 4, one spot below its 2024 rank. The other is the only track with an actual 2025 release date: Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” at No. 8. It debuted at No. 48 in March and eventually rose to No. 1 for four weeks, basically the majority of May.

Wallen, meanwhile, follows at No. 11 with “I’m the Problem,” and the rest of the top 25 has its share of 2025 tunes — Wallen’s own “Just in Case” and “What I Want” at Nos. 17 and 20, KPop Demon Hunters stalwart “Golden” by HUNTR/X at No. 18, Drake’s “Nokia” at No. 22, BigXthaPlug’s “All the Way” at No. 25.

Still, the year in streaming was prominently marked by a key observation: it’s not so much that what’s old is new, it’s just that what’s new is, well, still new, at least in the eyes of many music consumers. It’s not a brand-new development — remember, the 2024 No. 1, Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” was from 2023 — but six of 2024’s top 10 was still that year. In 2025, that number flipped — and then some.

The other development to note for 2025: after years of growth, the country genre finally slowed down a little. In 2024, the top 10 of the Top Streaming Songs Artists chart featured three country acts, plus a fourth in Post Malone, whose success that year was largely assisted by his country debut, F-1 Trillion. Four country songs, including the aforementioned “I Remember Everything,” were part of the year-end Streaming Songs ranking’s top 10.

In 2025? Wallen is only joined by Shaboozey in the top 10 (not including Chappell Roan [No. 4], who, to be fair, did have one country release this year in “The Giver”), while the top 10 on the songs side also boasts just two, both of which — “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Malone’s Wallen-featuring “I Had Some Help,” at Nos. 3 and 7, were also in the top 10 in 2024.

Not that the bottom totally dropped out for country in the chart’s upper reaches this year. The 75-position year-end Streaming Songs tally still sports 19 country titles, down six from 23 in 2024. But much of that is thanks to Wallen, whose material accounts for nine of the 19 — 10 if you count his featured turn on “I Had Some Help.”

Instead, the artists list saw a few acts expand on their 2024 fortunes. Lamar jumped from No. 5 in 2024 to No. 2, boosted by 11^th-hour 2024 album GNX plus a Super Bowl halftime show performance and a big night at the 2025 Grammy Awards that saw “Not Like Us” (No. 10 on the year-end Streaming Songs chart) win both record of the year and song of the year. Sabrina Carpenter rose one spot to No. 3, buoyed by the continued success of cuts from 2024’s Short n’ Sweet as well as August’s Man’s Best Friend. And Roan leaped 8-4 thanks to a pair of new tracks (“The Giver” and “The Subway”) plus new heights reached by “Pink Pony Club,” which peaked on the Hot 100 at No. 4 in April, five years after its initial release.

Billboard’s year-end music charts represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from 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 entries 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.
