Hi, it’s Trinh. After being MIA for like a month (I moved and my room is still kind of a mess), I’m finally back to sit down and yap about my favorite albums of 2025. In this video I rank my top 5 and also talk about why each project stuck with me all year—whether it’s an album I had on repeat from front to back, or something that surprised me at the very end of the year and still climbed my list. My #5 is TWICE’s “This Is For,” which completely converted me from a casual listener to fully obsessed—fun, loud (in a good way), and the last two tracks “Seesaw” and “Heartbreak Avenue” literally own me. #4 is Hayley Williams’ “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party,” which I only really got into after seeing the vinyl variants, then I couldn’t stop replaying it. #3 is Olivia Dean’s “The Art of Loving,” aka one of the most beautiful, chill-but-sad projects I can recommend to literally anyone. My #2 is Sabrina Carpenter’s “Man’s Best Friend” (no skips for me), and #1 is Jennie’s “Ruby,” my most-listened album of 2025—timeless, start to finish, and “Like Jennie” is my song of the year.
