Nearly 300 songs have peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, and despite not hitting No. 1 or even the top 10, many remain memorable years or even decades later.

In the 1960s, Rat Packers Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra each extended their iconic legacies with notable No. 25 Hot 100 hits: “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You” and “Summer Wind,” respectively.

In the ‘70s, Billy Joel’s debut hit “Piano Man” rose to No. 25 on the Hot 100. Later in the decade, despite it not being easy being green, Kermit the Frog (with a hand, literally, from Jim Henson) hopped to the same mark with “Rainbow Connection,” his classic banjo-strummed hopeful anthem from The Muppet Movie.

The ‘80s brought No. 25 Hot 100 hits from the likes of Kim Wilde, Scorpions and Prince, while ‘90s songs that reached the rank include entries by Gin Blossoms, Melissa Etheridge and Backstreet Boys.

Since 2000, Dr. Dre (with Eminem), Toby Keith and *NSYNC have all added to the history of renowned No. 25-peaking Hot 100 hits.

(Over on the Billboard 200 albums chart, noteworthy No. 25-peaking collections include Ray Charles’ pioneering Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music; Enya’s mainstream new age breakthrough Watermark; The All-American Rejects’ self-titled debut LP; Jon Batiste’s Grammy Award winner for album of the year, We Are; and ABBA’s Gold: Greatest Hits, which has charted for more than 350 weeks.)

In honor of their enduring legacies, here’s a rundown of 25 No. 25 Hot 100 hits, for 2025.

Happy new year!
