The Mostly Music 2025 Playlist, Pt. 11 (Updated 11/15/25)

Happy Holidays!

We’re getting so close to the end of 2025, and I’m going to say it now – choosing my top 50 this year is going to be hard. There has been a lot of great music released, and there’s still a month-and-a-half to go! Whyyy do I do this to myself? Ha!

Anyway, here are the singles I’ve added so far in November.

Albums Released From April to June 2025

Three Covers That I Did Not See Coming

I always enjoy hearing artists’ takes on songs they love, and the most fun reimaginings to me are the ones that come from a completely different genre than the original. Over the past week, two such renditions have been released into the world. The third cover… Well, it was always a dark song, so an infamously dark artist sharing his version makes sense.

1. Priest: “Black Hole Sun”

Yes, that “Black Hole Sun.” It’s so Priest, but I think it’s a very respectful nod to Soundgarden and the original. And, let’s be honest, it takes balls to release a song and know everyone is going to be comparing your vocals to Chris Cornell’s.

2. Aesthetic Perfection: “Fade to Black”

Aesthetic Perfection is a self-proclaimed industrial pop act. Hearing them do a Metallica track was unexpected, but I dig it.

3. Marilyn Manson: “In the Air Tonight”

Manson prides himself on shocking people. His entire career is based on it, in fact. He has done odd covers before. However, I just never would have predicted a Phil Collins song. Lol. As stated above, it kinda makes sense. The subject matter of “In the Air Tonight” is rather dark. Who better to reimagine it than Marilyn Manson and Tyler Bates?
