What was the most played song on Gabb Music for 2025? Despite a late-year surge of music from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, the answer is Alex Warren’s “Ordinary.”
“Ordinary,” which topped the weekly Billboard Hot 100 beginning in June and reigned for 10 weeks, eventually settling at No. 7 on the recently revealed year-end Billboard Hot 100 ranking for 2025, received the most streams on Gabb Music for the year, Gabb Wireless revealed Friday (Dec. 19).
Billboard has partnered with Gabb Wireless, a phone company for kids and teens, to present a monthly chart tracking on-demand streams via its Gabb Music platform. Gabb Music offers a vast catalog of songs, all of which are selected by the Gabb team to include only kid- and teen-appropriate content. Gabb Music streams are not currently factored into any other Billboard charts.
The reign of “Ordinary” comes despite an interesting quirk: It topped the monthly Top Gabb Music Songs chart only once, and that rule occurred on the most recently published tally, November 2025.
That’s because its run on Gabb was about more than racking up months at No. 1. The tune debuted at No. 6 on the April 2025 ranking and rose steadily to No. 3 in May and to No. 2 in June.
Then KPop Demon Hunters happened. The Netflix film’s hit soundtrack presided over the chart for the next few months, reigning every time from July to October between Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop” and HUNTR/X’s “Golden.”
Even then, “Ordinary” persisted. It was the highest charting non-KPop Demon Hunters song each month during that span, culminating with its No. 1 coronation in November.
Speaking of KPop Demon Hunters, Saja Boys end up reigning over HUNTR/X on the year-end list, as “Your Idol” ends 2025 at No. 2, ahead of “Golden” at No. 3. The latter was also a multiweek Hot 100 No. 1, ruling for eight frames beginning in August.
HUNTR/X did, however, achieve a feat Saja Boys couldn’t: the group is the act with the most appearances on the 25-position year-end ranking with four, including two in the top 10, as “Takedown” ranks at No. 10.
Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” round out the top five of the survey as the first two songs that were available for the entirety of the calendar year.
Boone is the top-performing solo act on the chart in terms of volume of appearances, nabbing three; “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” follows “Beautiful Things” as his second-biggest title at No. 7.
All of the songs in the top 12 were released in the 2020s; the top song otherwise, Drake’s “God’s Plan” (2018), ranks at No. 13.
