As we close out 2025, one thing is clear: this was a year filled with records that lived on repeat, played at full volume, and soundtracked everything from long drives to late nights and community gatherings. These songs did more than trend, they stayed with us, reminding us why Pacific music continues to resonate so deeply and globally. As we look ahead, we cannot wait to see what 2026 brings. If this year proved anything, it is that the talent, creativity, and heart within our community are only growing stronger. Until then, we will keep these tracks spinning and the volume turned all the way up.
