A historic year-end showing led by Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and a diverse mix of breakout and returning chart titans.

The 2025 Billboard Hot 100 Year-End chart has arrived, and for the first time in her legendary career, Lady Gaga claims the No. 1 spot. Her global smash “Die With A Smile,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars, finishes the year as the top-performing song in the United States. It marks a major milestone for Gaga, who previously peaked at No. 2 and No. 3 on the 2009 year-end list with “Poker Face” and “Just Dance.”

Right behind her is another powerhouse pairing: Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “luther,” which lands at No. 2 after dominating much of the year with its soulful production and massive cultural impact.

At No. 3, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” continues its unstoppable run, riding its country-trap wave into year-end glory. Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which also topped last year’s list, impressively holds strong at No. 4, proving its staying power across multiple years.

The rest of the Top 10 features a diverse mix of returning and breakout acts. Billie Eilish’s “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” (No. 5) and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” (No. 6) both secure high placements following massive streaming momentum. Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” takes No. 7, becoming the highest-ranked song released in 2025.

Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help” holds at No. 8 after finishing No. 4 in 2024. Meanwhile, #ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” earns a historic No. 9 spot, becoming the highest-charting K-Pop song in year-end history. Rounding out the Top 10 is Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” marking her first-ever year-end top 10 placement.
