The revelation of Mayhem’s Top 50 Albums Of 2025 is now nearing the top. In past years it has only ever been a top 20, but it was hard to whittle the original list of 60 down to 20, so we kept 50 of them! So far we have given you parts 1, 2 and 3 which cover positions 21 through to 50. Now we reveal the numbers from 11 to 20 in part 3.
Have your favourite albums made the Mayhem cut? Check out the list below and check out parts 1, 2 and 3. (Just click on the numbers). Part 5 which will reveal the top 10 will arrive very, very soon! Are you looking forward to the countdown? There will be a 50 song play list when Part 5 arrives! Here comes numbers 11 to 20.
11 Cut & Rewind – Say She She – “Classy old school R&B driven into the 21st century with soul, funk, style, perfect vocals and confidence”
12 West End Girl – Lily Allen – “Low key, break up, personal themes document the return of Lily Allen”
13 Parasites & Butterflies – Nova Twins – “A fearless, thundering collection of songs from perhaps the finest band of their generation. The Nova Twins are heading for super nova status!”
14 Bin Juice – The Lovely Eggs – “This lot can turn the every day mundaneness into fiery, exciting punk songs”
15 The Clearing – Wolf Alice – “This mighty fourth album sees a good band metamorphosing into a great band. Ellie Rowsell’s vocals are superb”
16 Lotus – Little Simz – “This is her sixth album and she gets even better each time. On this she bares her soul through anger, fragility and she begins to translate the ciphers that hide real life”
17 MAD! – Sparks – “Formed in L.A. more than 50 years ago the brothers Mael continue to produce fabulous music, this is perhaps their best of the 21st century”
18 Euro-Country – CMAT – “A dark pop classic from CMAT with some brutally honest lyrics”
19 Pillow Talk – Party Nails – “The perfect blend of synth filled electro pop from the delightful Party Nails”
20 Antidepressants – Suede – “The best new material since they reformed? Probably”
