Reggae and Dancehall Top 15

The year 2025 was a mixed bag musically. It appeared that dancehall was the predominant genre and reggae was lagging behind. It was much easier to have dialogue with selectors who could easily list out the top 15, or 20 or even 25 songs that ruled the dancehall, than it was to find those who could pull out a list of top reggae songs. Here is a list of the top reggae and dancehall songs for 2025 compiled primarily with the invaluable assistance of the year-to-year entertainment analyst, Sean ‘Contractor’ Edwards. For 2025, the panellists for our Year in Review 2025 included Edwards, Delano ‘3D’ Thomas, DJ Tom of Leggo di Streets and Claude Mills.
