The top 20 songs featured artists such as Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, K-Pop Demon Hunters, and Olivia Dean, who was also voted by Israelis as the breakout artist of 2025. Doechii’s “Anxiety” was chosen as the most annoying song of the year by voters.
Coldplay's cheating concert, engagement of the year, and Caitlyn Jenner
Israelis also voted on some iconic pop culture moments of the year, including the infamous Coldplay concert, in which an affair between the CEO and the head of HR at the tech firm Astronomer was revealed by the band’s "kiss cam."
The poll’s pop-culture categories also cited "best engagement/wedding of the year" as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, reflecting their 2025 engagement.
A light-hearted category labeled “best Jewish accomplishment of the year” referenced Caitlyn Jenner drinking wine in a safe room during this year’s Iran war, as phrased by voters in the poll’s submission notes.
