Ever since 2010 I’ve kept track of the music I listen to each month. It’s fascinating to see how some bands stay with me over the years whilst others have their moment on my stereo before vanishing from my mind… well, until years later when I check out to see what I was listening to way back when in any case!
Anyway, I ran a Top 50 (which turned in to a Top 100) bands of the month chart on various social media platforms recording my listening habits for posterity and to share my earworms of the month. I listen to a lot of music when working, and also when relaxing. My tastes are fairly broad and I love discovering new bands, as well as new sounds and genres.
February saw a whopping SIXTEEN bands make it into the Top 100 for the first time! Paris Paloma was the highest new entry at #4, but joining her striaht into the top ten was DlinaVolny at #10! Some of the other new entries this month were I Speak Machine (#27), Sofia Isella (#28), greenhaus (#37), PIXEL GRIP (#38), October and the Eyes (#41) and Chloe Qisha (#61).
In addition to the new releases we had 19 artists and bands returning to the Top 100 this month, with Gary Numan claiming the highest new entry slot at #23.
Here’s my Top 100 for February 2025…
