With 2025 almost upon us, and another year of the early 2000s becoming old enough to be considered “vintage”, we’ve decided to take a step back in time.
Before the internet took over and when CD sales were at an all time high, the turn of the millennium was full of promise after Y2K failed to make the world end.
It was also a prime period for pop music as bands from Westlife to All Saints took over the charts, with artists including Craig David, Billie Piper and Britney Spears also releasing various number 1 hits.
With more than two decades between then and now, here are 25 songs turning 25 years old in 2025.
25. In the End by Linkin Park
Linkin Park’s debut album Hybrid Theory includes a number of their most popular songs from Crawling to One Step Closer. Alongside those two tracks the record includes In the End, which ranks among the top 100 most streamed songs on Spotify as of June 2024. | Getty Images
