Best Albums 2025

The JENESAISPOP 2025 Yearbook has been available in digital download for a few weeks, while the physical edition – this year manufactured in hardcover, in a-LUX edition – will be sent starting in January. Shipping costs are free for orders of 20 euros or more, using the code YOAPOYOALAPRENSAMUSICAL. Thank you for supporting JENESAISOP for another year!

2025 was that year that started strong with releases from Bad Bunny and FKA twigs that competed to crown the list we present today. The musical course continued to leave notable releases during the spring and summer, but without any artist really hitting the table. Until in November Rosalía turned everything upside down.

Few albums have generated as much debate this year as ‘LUX’, although some have come close, such as Sabrina Carpenter’s or, on a more underground level, Geese’s. In a year that has left highly anticipated comebacks such as those of Lily Allen or Stereolab, we must highlight the arrival of great debuts by JADE, Rusowsky or Addison Rae or the wealth of national talent represented by Amaia a Guitarricadelafuente. We remind you that the physical edition of the Yearbook expands the list to 75 albums; all have been reviewed again.
