Welcome to the new and improved
✰✰✰ PJ MONTHLY CHARTS '25: JANUARY ✰✰✰
So what's happening this year/month, you ask? Well, aside from, you know, the new releases, we have two things. Firstly, we're debuting a brand new, more streamlined and more fun watch2gether format, and secondly, throughout the month we'll also be sharing a variety of '24 stats. Because yes, we have been collecting your data all this time, sorry about it! Now in terms of releases, obviously the big one ROSE GRAY finally released her debut album, and the best part is it was totally worth the wait! We also have new albums/EPs from BAD BUNNY, ELA MINUS, ETHEL CAIN, FKA TWIGS, FRANZ FERDINAND, JOJO, SOFIA COLL and THE WEEKEND, among others, and in the singles department, ALY & AJ, BAD GYAL, BANKS, BELINDA, CHER LLOYD, ERIKA VIKMAN, GFRIEND, HEIDI MONTAG, IVE, JADE, JAPANESE BREAKFAST, LOLA INDIGO, OLLY ALEXANDER, PERFUME GENIUS and SHARON VON ETTEN. Maybe not the most bombastic of months, especially given the ongoing LA fires' impact on the music industry, but there's still a lot of very cool releases, and maybe the perfect time to make some new discoveries. And now it's time to, as always, get to listening, rating and ranking.

- The songs can be singles, album tracks, demos, or anything you want.

- Your favorite song/album gets 10 points, scaling all the way down to 1 point.
- An album or song must have a minimum of two voters to chart.
