After much personal reflection and list-making by WNXP hosts, followed by the aggregation of those rankings into two master lists — Top 10 Nashville Albums and Top 30 Albums of 2025 — we’ve run one final list to reflect this incredible year in music. This one is less subjective and sources the hard math of it all: how many total times did we play a song on 91.ONE?

Here are the tunes you heard the most on Nashville’s NPR Music station in 2025. Some songs can be found on our favorite records of the year, sure, but some instead were standout singles on records that didn’t make a huge impression otherwise. Others on this list are early teasers of records to come in 2026, which we’ll highly anticipate playing for you when they drop.

For now, look (and listen!) backward with us and enjoy our 91 Most Played Songs of 2025.
