Messy

Lola Young remains ruler of the British music sphere, having officially dropped what’s been the standout track of the year up until now.

In June 2024, a 24-year-old British artist debuted “Messy,” a song that expresses the struggle of failing to triumph in a disheartening relationship with oneself and others. However, it was towards the end of last year when they gained significant attention following a viral sensation on TikTok.

By Christmas in the UK, it had made its way into the top 10 charts, eventually climbing up to the first position in January where it stayed for a month straight.

As reported by the Official Charts Company, over the first three months of 2025, Messy has achieved an impressive 597,000 chart sales, making it the most popular song of the year thus far.

TikTok has solidified its position as a significant player in the music industry, particularly for breaking new tracks, while the remainder of the top 10 songs are also gaining popularity and attracting followers on this popular social media platform.

Dance moves can frequently be derived from the tracks themselves, similar to APT by Rosé and Bruno Mars, or they can serve as backdrop music for montages, akin to Gracie Abrams’ song That’s So True.

Although Sabrina Carpenter’s singles, Espresso and Taste, didn’t quite make it to the Top 10, they ranked at positions 11 and 12 respectively, she managed to rule the major album charts with her release, Short N Sweet. This album, which includes both hits, was the third most successful album of the year in 2024.

I’m thrilled to share that Sam Fender’s “People Watching” has landed at the second spot on the charts! Notably, it’s also set a new record this century as the quickest-selling vinyl album from a British artist. What an accomplishment for such a talented musician!
