Welcome back to my favorite time of the year: my yearly best in music playlist post!

This time, I broke out the music junk journal to celebrate my favorite artists, songs, and albums of 2025.

Junk items on the left are from a 2024 Taylor Swift calendar, a 2023 Jonas Brothers concert program, and the amNY newspaper. Stickers are from the Rose Mansion Wine Sticker Book, Five Below, and Walmart.
