In the five days it has taken me to post my 2025 albums list, the US has invaded Venezuela, Bulgaria got rid of the lev, and Raye scored the first number one single of the year, something she also did in 2023.
My end-of-year blogging is always intense. I wrote thousands of words about a shedload of electronic music albums, and now my brain is fried. Some of those words were good words, and some of those words were really average words.
A summary might be useful. So here is a list of all of the albums featured in my Best electronic music albums of 2025 blog series. Each one links to the summary it was featured in. The ones labelled "🏆Top 20" have their very own dedicated blog post.
I should do a playlist. Suggestions of good, accesible Spotify alternatives would be welcome.
