Joey Moi returns as the No. 1 Hot 100 Producer of the year for the second time, thanks to another blockbuster year with Morgan Wallen.

Moi finishes 2025 as the No. 1 Hot 100 Producer thanks to the chart performance of 38 production credits on the Billboard Hot 100 during the 2025 chart eligibility period (Oct. 26, 2024 – Oct. 18, 2025), all of which were by Wallen. Of those 38 songs, nine reached the top 10 and two of them hit No. 1 (“Love Somebody” and “What I Want” featuring Tate McRae).

No. 97, Brooks & Dunn with Morgan Wallen, “Neon Moon”

Of the 38 songs above, 36 peaked during the 2025 eligibility period, as they all appeared on Wallen’s 2025 album I’m The Problem. The album finishes as the No. 2 year-end Billboard 200 album of the year, behind only Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl.

This is the second time Moi has finished as the No. 1 producer. He first ruled the year-end ranking in 2023, largely thanks to his work on Wallen’s One Thing at a Time. He’s also finished in the top 10 in 2024 (No. 7), 2022 (No. 3), 2021 (No. 2) and 2020 (No. 6).

Charlie Handsome finishes just below Moi on the 2025 year-end Hot 100 Producers ranking, also thanks to his work with Wallen. Handsome and Moi are listed as co-producers on many tracks from I’m the Problem, including its No. 1s “Love Somebody and “What I Want.” Also contributing to Handsome’s placement is his work with BigXthaPlug (“Hell At Night”) and Marshmello and Jelly Roll (“Holy Water”).

Rounding out the top five, Julian Bunetta finishes at No. 3, Dan Nigro places at No. 4 and FINNEAS stands at No. 5.

Billboard’s year-end music recaps 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 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 differences between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.

In 2024, months before the release of her seventh studio album MAYHEM, Lady Gaga teased that she was returning to her dance-pop roots. Not only did she deliver, but it paid off in dividends, as Gaga finishes at No. 1 on Billboard’s 2025 year-end Top Dance/Electronic Artists ranking for the fifth time in her career, while her single “Abracadabra” leads the Top Dance/Pop Songs list.

MAYHEM also finishes at No. 2 on the year-end Top Dance Albums ranking, behind only Charli xcx’s 2024 smash Brat.

Released March 7, MAYHEM debuted at No. 1 on the Top Dance Albums chart (dated March 22), and remained in the top three of the chart throughout the remainder of the 2025 year-end tracking period (running Oct. 26, 2024-Oct. 18. 2025). Brat, on the other hand, debuted at No. 1 on Top Dance Albums on the chart dated June 22, 2024 and held at No. 1 through the remainder of the 2024 tracking period (ending Oct. 19, 2024), helping it top the 2024 year-end Top Dance Albums list. The album remained in the top five of Top Dance Albums throughout the 2025 year-end tracking period, helping it claim the throne for the second consecutive year.

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. The 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 details, and the October-October time period, account for some of the differences between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.

Also boosting Gaga’s points on the year-end Top Dance/Electronic Artists ranking are two additional albums in the top 10 of the year-end Top Dance Albums list: 2008’s The Fame finishes at No. 3 and 2011’s Born This Way ranks at No. 7.

Gaga previously ranked at No. 1 on the year-end Top Dance/Electronic Artists ranking in 2021, 2020, 2011, 2010 and 2009. She now holds the record for the most years finishing as the top dance artist, breaking out of a tie with the Chainsmokers, who have finished at No. 1 four times (2016-2019).

Not only does Gaga lead among all Dance/Electronic Artists, but she’s also the inaugural leader of Billboard’s year-end Hot Dance/Pop Songs ranking, as “Abracadabra” tops the list. Billboard launched the chart in January 2025, and “Abracadabra” led for 18 weeks.

Charli xcx’s Brat dominated headlines and topped charts in 2024, and its success spilled into 2025. The album is the first project to lead the year-end Top Dance Albums ranking in consecutive years since the Chainsmokers’ Memories… Do Not Open lead the chart in in 2017 and 2018.

The only other album to lead the chart for multiple years is Gaga’s The Fame, which finished as the top dance/electronic album in 2009, 2010 and, miraculously, 2021. Gaga also ruled the list in 2011 with Born This Way, 2014 with ARTPOP and 2020 with Chromatica.

Marshmello and Kane Brown’s smash single “Miles On It” finishes 2025 at No. 1 on the year-end Hot Dance/Electronic Songs tally. The song spent a whopping 31 weeks at No. 1 on the chart during the tracking period, and spent the entire time in the top two.

“Miles On It” had an historic run, spending 50 total weeks at No. 1 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs — making it the third-longest-leading hit in the chart’s history. It finished at No. 2 on the 2024 year-end Hot Dance/Electronic Songs list, behind Dua Lipa’s “Houdini.”

While this marks the first time Kane Brown has finished atop the year-end Hot Dance/Electronic Songs ranking, Marshmello finishes at No. 1 for the second time, following 2019’s “Happier,” with Bastille.” Marshmello joins Dua Lipa, the Chainsmokers and DJ Snake as the only artists to rule the chart in multiple years with different songs. Dua Lipa led in 2022 and 2024, with “Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)” with Elton John and “Houdini,” respectively; the Chainsmokers ruled with “Don’t Let Me Down,” featuring Daya, in 2016 and “Something Just Like This” with Coldplay in 2017; and DJ Snake led with “Turn Down For What” with Lil Jon in 2014 and “Lean On” with Major Lazer featuring MØ in 2015.

As for the Top New Dance Artists ranking, up-and-comer CHRYSTAL leads the list thanks to her breakthrough single “The Days.” The song finishes at No. 2 on the year-end Hot Dance/Electronic Songs ranking, thanks to 45 weeks spend on the chart during the tracking period. It debuted at No. 3 on Jan. 18, 2025 and peaked at No. 2 (stuck behind “Miles On It”). The song was a crossover success too, reaching No. 83 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February.

Notably, Billboard revamped its dance chart offerings during this year. Beginning on the charts dated Jan. 18, 2025, the songs eligible to debut on Hot Dance/Electronic are those primarily recorded by DJs or producers with an emphasis on electronic-based production. Hot Dance/Pop Songs, which launched the same week, featured titles with dance-centric vocals, melody and hooks by artists not considered rooted in the dance/electronic genre. Top Dance/Electronic Albums was also renamed Top Dance Albums.

Bad Bunny is still the reigning king among Latin acts, with a whopping seventh consecutive win as Billboard’s Top Latin Artist, extending his own record for the most No. 1 finishes on the year-end tally. Such a massive milestone for the hitmaker, spanning from his reign in 2019-2025, is evidenced by a wave of chart successes, most notably his sixth solo studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The set not only became the only Spanish-language album to reach No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 tally in 2025 but also secured Benito a ninth straight chart-topper on the Top Latin Albums chart, a historic feat for a Latin rhythm act. It also closes the year at No. 1 on 2025’s Top Latin Albums recap.

On a similar note, Karol G remains the winningest Latin female act in the history of the year-end charts, maintaining an unparalleled seven-year streak atop the Top Latin Artists – Female tally. Since 2022, she has also stood out as the only woman in the top 10 on the Top Latin Artists year-end chart, a testament to her continued chart impact. Her latest project, Tropicoqueta, made a No. 1 debut on the weekly Top Latin Albums chart, while standout single, “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” — the longest-running No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart this decade by a woman — spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on the during the 2025 eligibility period (Oct. 26, 2024, through Oct. 18, 2025).

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.

Benito Towers Above the Competition:  As is typical with any Bad Bunny project, Debí Tirar Más Fotos also delivered a string of hits. The blockbuster song “DTMF” earns the No. 1 spot on the Hot Latin Songs year-end chart, after an incredible run of 34 weeks atop the list during the 2025 chart year. The song also secures the No. 1 slot on the year-end Latin Streaming Songs list.

Benito stands head and shoulders above the competition as the Latin genre’s most consistent hitmaker. As if being No. 1 on the year-end Top Latin Artists, Top Latin Albums and Hot Latin Songs, weren’t enough, he also claims five additional spots on the year-end Latin songs list. Joining “DTMF” at the top are four other Debí songs, plus a collaboration: “Baile Inolvidable” at No. 2, “Nuevayol” at No. 3, “EOO” at No. 4, “Qué Pasaría…,” with Rauw Alejandro, at No. 8, and closing the year-end finish line at No. 9 is “Voy a Llevarte Pa PR.”

Netón Vega Redraws the Map as Top New Artist:  Mexican singer-songwriter Netón Vega’s breakthrough came in June 2024 when he landed a No. 2 hit on the Billboard charts. Since then, the newcomer has become a driving force in regional Mexican culture. During the eligibility period, Vega placed 20 total songs on the Hot Latin Songs chart, including seven top 10s. Plus, his victory is highlighted by being the only newcomer to secure a spot in the top 10 on the overall Top Latin Artists year-end tally, at No. 7.

Adding to his winning chapter, Vega’s debut album, Mi Vida Mi Muerte, further cemented his ascent. It launched at Nos. 1 and 2 on the Top Regional Mexican Albums and Top Latin Albums charts, respectively, in March. This mark was equally huge for Josa Records, his independent label, which partnered with Downtown Artist & Label Services in late 2023: “Together, I’m confident we’ll bring his music to new heights,” said founder Jesus Chavez, and they did—Vega brought Josa Records its first Billboard No. 1.

Tell Me, RaiNao: Puerto Rican singer-songwriter RaiNao may not have had a chart hit prior to 2025, but her fan demand became palpable after her collaboration with Bad Bunny, “Perfumito,” made a splash. The track, their first and only team-up, scored a top 10 debut on Hot Latin Songs at the turn of the year, peaking at No. 7. The track also reached top 10 on Latin Streaming Songs, broke into the top 40 on the overall Billboard Hot 100, and soared into the top 20 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, along with securing placements across Latin charts.

RaiNao’s colossal chart activity, propels her to No. 5 on the year-end Top Latin Artists-Female ranking, joining an elite line-up of major stars: Karol G (at No. 1), Shakira (No. 2), Selena (No. 3) and Kali Uchis (No. 4).

Regional Mexican Continues Hot Streak: After its astronomical rise in 2023 and continued ascent in 2024, regional Mexican music has solidified its global presence, capturing widespread attention. There were a dozen regional Mexican songs that hit the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 in 2025 (with 11 during the 2025 chart year), as compared to 19 in 2024 and 37 in 2023.

Aside from Bad Bunny’s four rhythmic tracks, Oscar Maydon and Fuerza Regida stand out for the genre, as their collaboration “Tu Boda” (No. 87) is the only other Latin song included in the year-end Billboard Hot 100 Songs tally. (Netón Vega, primarily a regional Mexican artist, also appears on the chart with his Latin rhythmic hit “Loco.”)

Regional Mexican acts further demonstrate their influence in the Top Latin Artists year-end rankings, with some of the genre’s heavy hitters leading the charge: Fuerza Regida (No. 2), Peso Pluma (No. 3), Junior H (No. 5), Xavi (No. 8), Grupo Frontera (No. 9), and Ivan Cornejo (No. 10), whose repertoire spans both regional Mexican and pop music.

At the same time, Tito Double P, who transitioned from writing songs for his cousin Peso Pluma in the underground scene to becoming a bona fide hitmaker and arena headliner, saw similar triumphs. His debut album, Incómodo, launched to major success, thanks in part to his composition wizardry and the stacked guest list of well-established acts. The album topped the Top Latin Albums chart for nine weeks, including six within the year-end eligibility period, earning a No. 2 spot on the year-end Top Latin Albums tally.

Move Over for RIMAS: RIMAS has reasserted its dominance in the Latin music industry, climbing back to the top of the 2025 Top Latin Labels list after a fiercely competitive year. The independent Puerto Rican powerhouse secured a notable 24 songs on the Hot Latin Songs chart during the eligible period – an unmatched feat.

Driving this triumph was the monumental success of Bad Bunny’s album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The label lands five songs from the project in the year-end Hot Latin Songs top 10, an unprecedented deed. Leading the charge is the record-breaking hit “DTMF” at No. 1, followed by “Baile Inolvidable” (No. 2), “Nuevayol” (No. 3), and “EOO” (No. 4). Additionally, crowd favorite “Voy a Llevarte Pa PR” secured the No. 9 spot.

Morgan Wallen finishes atop Billboard’s year-end Top Artists chart for the first time following the monster success of his 2025 album I’m the Problem and its associated hit songs. The continued chart performance of his earlier smash albums One Thing at a Time and Dangerous: The Double Album also helped fuel the victory.

I’m the Problem, which ranks at No. 2 on the year-end Billboard 200 Albums recap, debuted at No. 1 on the weekly Billboard 200 dated May 31 and spent 12 weeks leading the list during the annual eligibility period (see methodology below).

Wallen’s Top Artists trophy was also earned in part by his success on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 songs chart during the chart year, placing more titles on the list (41) than any other act. Of those, nine reached the top 10, including “What I Want” (featuring Tate McRae), which spent a week at No. 1 upon its debut in May.

Wallen is the first act who primarily records country music to crown the Top Artists list since 2009, when Taylor Swift took home her first win in the annual recap. That year, she was also No. 1 on the year-end Billboard 200 Albums chart with her second full-length, Fearless. (She would pivot to a mostly pop career in 2014 with her 1989 album.) Wallen is only the second male country act to be the year-end top artist after Garth Brooks, who scored back-to-back year-end wins in 1992 and 1993. (The year-end Top Artists recap began in 1981.)

Swift also looms large on the 2025 year-end rankings, as her recently released The Life of a Showgirl is No. 1 on the year-end Billboard 200 Albums chart. It’s the fifth time she has ruled that roundup, and she remains the only act to have the year-end No. 1 Billboard 200 album more than three times.

The Life of a Showgirl’s year-end feat is especially remarkable considering it had only one week of activity on the Billboard 200 during the eligibility period. It debuted at No. 1 on the list dated Oct. 18 — the final week of the chart year — with a modern-era weekly record of 4 million equivalent album units earned in its first week, according to Luminate.

Swift led the 2024 year-end Billboard 200 Albums chart with The Tortured Poets Department, and in turn, she becomes the first act to have the year-end No. 1 Billboard 200 album in consecutive years with two different titles since Elton John in 1974 (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) and 1975 (Greatest Hits). In between John and Swift, two artists went back-to-back but with the same albums: Michael Jackson with Thriller in 1983 and 1984 and Adele with 21 in 2011 and 2012.

Wallen and Swift are the year’s top male artist and top female artist, respectively, while the top duo/group is the animated KPop Demon Hunters girl group HUNTR/X, voiced by real-life singers EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI. The trio from the smash Netflix film scored four hits on the weekly Hot 100 in 2025, including the No. 1 “Golden.” Alex Warren is 2025’s top new artist following his massive success with “Ordinary,” which spent 10 weeks atop the Hot 100, while his album You’ll Be Alright, Kid reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200.

The year-end No. 1 on the Hot 100 Songs chart is “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. The track led the Hot 100 for five weeks.

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. The Top Artists and Top New Artists categories rank the best-performing acts, and new acts, of the year based on activity on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100, as well as Billboard Boxscore (touring), for the 2025 tracking period.

Morgan Wallen enjoyed another banner year in 2025 and on the year-end country charts. Far and away the format’s leading artist (he’s No. 1 on the year-end Top Country Artists chart for the fifth year in a row) the East Tennessee-born superstar posted four No. 1s each on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts during the 2025 chart year (Oct. 26, 2024, through Oct. 18, 2025) – more No. 1s than any other act on either chart. Further, on the weekly Top Country Albums chart, out of the 52 weeks during the chart year, Wallen was No. 1 for 48 of those – 21 weeks with his 2025 release I’m the Problem, and 27 weeks with his 2023 set One Thing at a Time.

Explore All of Billboard’s 2025 Year-End Charts

 “I’m the Problem” and “Love Somebody” topped both Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay during the eligibility period. “Just In Case” and “Lies Lies Lies” topped Country Airplay, while “I Got Better” and “What I Want” (featuring Tate McRae) led Hot Country Songs. The latter also clocked 20 weeks at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs, the second-most weeks at No. 1 during the 2025 chart year.

Wallen has six of the top 10 on the year-end Hot Country Songs chart, including the Nos. 2-5 titles (Shaboozey’s enduring “A Bar Song [Tipsy]” is tops).

Wallen’s albums told the same story of momentum. His 2025 set I’m the Problem is No. 1 on the year-end Top Country Albums recap, while his earlier sets One Thing at a Time and Dangerous: The Double Album come in at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.

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.

Right behind Wallen on 2025’s Top Country Artists tally sits Shaboozey at No. 2. The 2024 breakout star officially cemented himself as a format mainstay with a song that began its ascent in 2024. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” finishes as Hot Country Songs’ year-end No. 1 following its historic 45-week run at the top, 27 of those frames occurring in the 2025 chart year. His follow-up single, “Good News,” lands at No. 6 for the year. Only Shaboozey and Morgan Wallen place more than one title inside the year-end Hot Country Songs top 10.

Women also made an imprint this year, with Megan Moroney among the standouts, who reigns at No. 1 on the Top Country Artists – Female chart. The Georgian, who spent much of 2025 on the road with Kenny Chesney, charted three cuts during the eligibility period on Hot Country Songs and five on Country Airplay (the most of any woman on the latter). One of those hits, “Am I Okay?,” places at No. 19 on the year-end Hot Country Songs ranking and at No. 14 on the Country Airplay recap. Its parent album of the same name comes in at No. 16 on the year-end Top Country Albums roundup – the highest-ranking title by a woman.

Ella Langley, who finishes 2025 at No. 2 among women on the year-end Top Country Artists – Female ranking, and among new artists, is emerging as one of the year’s brightest breakthroughs. She notched a trio of top 10s on the Country Airplay chart during the chart year (including a No. 1, “You Look Like You Love Me,” featuring Riley Green). On Hot Country Songs, she logged four top 10s during the eligibility period. (She’s already off to a hot start for the 2026 chart year, as “Choosin’ Texas” became her first leader on Country Airplay, when it hit No. 1 on the Dec. 6-dated list.) Plus, her Hungover album closes out the year at No. 17 on the Top Country Albums ranking.

On the 2025 year-end charts, her solo breakout “Weren’t For The Wind” ranks at No. 14 on Hot Country Songs and No. 34 on Country Airplay.

Lainey Wilson, meanwhile, places at No. 4 on the Top Country Artists – Female roundup and lands two titles on the 2025 Hot Country Songs year-end list. “4x4xU” ranks at No. 36, while “Somewhere Over Laredo” appears at No. 51.

Meanwhile, over on the Bluegrass and Americana/Folk charts, some familiar faces continued to post big achievements.

Billy Strings and Alison Krauss close the year at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, on the Bluegrass Albums Artists ranking. Strings, still riding the impact of 2024’s 16-week Bluegrass Albums No. 1 Highway Prayers, followed it with Live at the Legion, which rose to No. 1 in August. Krauss placed three collections on the chart: A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection and Arcadia both topped the list for a combined 11 weeks, while Now That I’ve Found You: A Collection peaked at No. 2. Both artists charted on Americana/Folk Albums as well.

Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart continues to be dominated by Zach Bryan, though his influence stretches well beyond the genre. The U.S. Navy veteran ranks at No. 1 on 2025’s Americana/Folk Albums Artists list and at No. 3 Top Country Artists – Male. Three of the top five Americana/Folk Albums this year belong to Bryan — American Heartbreak (No. 3), his self-titled set (No. 4) and The Great American Bar Scene (No. 5). Additionally, his songs “High Road,” “Pink Skies” and “28” land on 2025’s Hot Country Songs, reflecting his widening footprint across formats.

If 2024 suggested country music was stretching in multiple directions at once, 2025 proved it. Wallen’s unstoppable run, Shaboozey’s crossover force, the rise of Langley and Moroney, Wilson’s continued consistency and Bryan’s genre-spanning pull all point to a format thriving in its variety. The only constant this year was momentum — and plenty of artists carried it forward.
