Northern Irish Songs of the Year 2025: 50 – 26

As we reach the second half of January it feels a little late to be sharing our reflections on the releases of 2025. That said, it feels like a task like this shouldn’t be rushed. The extra time has given us more scope to consider, digest and review an incredible library of work released from our small corner of the world.

For clarity we considered over 500 tracks while compiling our lists. As you can imagine condensing down that number to just fifty is remarkably challenging. Positions were changed on a daily or occasionally an hourly basis as the team revisited and discussed each release.

We’d strongly recommend you revisit our complete playlist of Northern Irish Songs From 2025 but if you only have time for the condensed version, here are tracks 50 through 26.
