All year, we keep a list of the songs we can't stop listening to. And every other week or so, we update that list with our latest obsessions. These are the songs we love so much they're contenders for a spot on our final best-of-2025 lists when we get to the end of the year.
On this week's show, our latest obsessions include a gorgeous solo piano piece from Julia Hamos, a cut from the first new album by The Antlers in four years, Estonian composer Arvo Pärt and more.
NPR Music's Tom Huizenga joins host Robin Hilton as we explore our No. 1 songs from 2024 in the All Songs Considered 25th anniversary segment and hear from crows in a D.C. suburb on a summer afternoon for the Weekly Reset.
