Lady Gaga once again takes the crown.
Lady Gaga has done it again. Her high-energy anthem “Abracadabra” has been named the #1 best song of 2025 by Rolling Stone, solidifying her as one of the most creative and influential forces in modern pop. The song was at the core of 2025 — loud, bold, theatrical, and impossible to escape — reminding everyone of Gaga’s unmatched ability to take over a moment and turn it into a cultural reset.
The rest of the list is stacked with some of the year’s biggest artists. Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, and Taylor Swift all secured spots in the top 10, marking a year defined by genre variety and major star power.
