I’ve been thinking about how different my playlist looks now compared to when these songs first came out. Some tracks I thought I’d never stop playing disappeared after a week, while others quietly became staples.
It’s easy to fall in love with a comeback on release day, but now that we’ve had a few months to sit with them, I thought it’d be fun to do a mid-year check-in.
• Which songs released between December 2025 and May 2026 are still in your rotation?
• Which releases have had the best longevity for you?
• What’s your favorite album or EP from this period?
• Were there any songs you loved at first but rarely revisit now?
• Any growers that ended up becoming favorites?
• If you had to choose just one, or a few, what are your favorite releases from this first half of the year?
• Any artists you’ve found yourself replaying a lot?
• Have you discovered any promising new artists this year?
I’d love to hear what has actually lasted beyond the initial hype.
