What songs have you been hooked on these past seven months?

Back in December, I did what a lot of people with streaming do at the end of the year: took a look back at the songs, artists, and albums that I listened to the most in 2024. I stream all my music on Apple Music, which is a bit different than Spotify. While they do Spotify Wrapped, Apple does something called Apple Replay. What I didn't realize, is that you don't have to wait until the end of the year to see your Replay. They keep track of it all year long! So I saved my "Replay 2025" Playlist, which updates on a weekly basis with my 100 most-played songs of the year so far. According to that playlist, here are my top ten country songs of 2025 over the course of the last 6+ months:

Looking through my top 100, there are quite a few other country artists that are very highly represented, but the songs I've been listening to aren't technically "new." That includes Zach Top, Tyler Childers, Kelsea BalleriniKacey Musgraves, and Chris Stapleton. There are also a TON of other genres in there. As a music lover and a DJ, I listen to a little bit of everything!

The Most Popular Outdoor Midwest Water Parks to Visit This Summer

To put together our list of the most popular water parks, we took a look at parks with a 4.4-star or higher rating on Google and 500 or more total reviews (additional water parks with 4+ stars are listed at the end). Some of them are MASSIVE water parks with a seemingly endless number of slides and attractions, while others are small (but very nice!) aquatic parks run by city governments. Whatever type of park you're looking for, you have plenty of options!
