Top five tracks the viewers heard on Netflix in 2025
While the world is busy taking part in the cultural phenomenon that is Spotify Wrapped, an instant trip down your sonic memory lane, Netflix took part in the ongoing trend with a musical review of its own.
As we know, Netflix didn’t just flood the streaming landscape with movies, shows, and documentaries, but with the songs they featured in them, too. But if you cannot understand where we’re getting at, well, think KPop Demon Hunters and Wednesday to jog up your memory.
From earning Grammy nominations to charting on the Billboard lists, Netflix has proven what it means to be an all-rounder in 2025.
So, taking a break from the top five shows and movies, we bring the top five tracks that captured hearts via Netflix this year.
‘Golden’ from KPop Demon Hunters
The K-pop superstars and demons of KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix’s most-watched film of all time, swayed fans with a musical flight so mesmerising that the soundtrack made its place in every playlist. Not just playlists; the tracks landed on the Billboard charts, saw numerous renditions, and even became the K-pop anthems on everyone’s lips.
While they’re also going to the Grammys with five nominations, the song that stood out the most from the movie’s soundtrack is ‘Golden.’
‘The Dead Dance’ from Wednesday
Netflix knows exactly how to send pop culture spiralling into a frenzy, and that’s what it did by bringing Lady Gaga and her pop hit, ‘The Dead Dance,’ to the Wednesday mix in the second season. The songstress wrote the track especially for the series, which became an instant success.
A lot of credit also goes to the persisting craze around Gaga’s connection to the black comedy series, which was inadvertently formed with the popularity of the viral TikTok edit syncing Jenna Ortega’s dance in the first season at Rave’N with ‘Bloody Mary.’
‘Get Your Brits Out’ from House of Guinness
Steven Knight has a thing for incorporating modern music in his meticulously crafted period and historical pieces. Likewise, House of Guinness, the succession drama surrounding the legacy of the Guinness brewing company following the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, is no different.
The first episode of the series blasts Irish hip-hop group Kneecap’s ‘Get Your Brits Out’ loud as Dublin citizens protest and stand in the way of the Guinness patriarch’s funeral procession, leaving factory workers to stand up in defence of their employer.
‘Rockin’ Robin’ from Stranger Things
The first volume of Stranger Things season five came with its fair share of ‘80s tracks to leave viewers hooked. But the most unforgettable one comes rather early when a 1972 pop hit, ‘Rockin’ Robin,’ by Michael Jackson begins to play in Robin Buckley’s new radio show, The Morning Squawk.
The Morning Squawk serves as the much-needed outlet of entertainment amid a state of quarantine in Hawkins.
‘What a Difference a Day Makes’ from Black Rabbit
The final track that hit a chord with Netflix fans in 2025 is RAYE’s cover of Dinah Washington’s jazz standard, ‘What a Difference a Day Makes’ in Black Rabbit, a black comedy thriller starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman as two polar opposite brothers who open a dining hotspot in New York City. RAYE appears as herself, exchanging pecks on cheeks with Law’s character before performing the track onstage.
