161: "Beautiful Things" vs. "Lose Control" (ft. Kevin Anderson)

About this episode

The episode discusses the overplayed songs of 2024 and 2025, featuring a comparison between Benson Boone's 'Beautiful Things' and Teddy Swims's 'Lose Control'.

They were the biggest songs of 2025 and unfortunately they were from 2024 but they just wouldn't go away, so much so that we had to use our 2025 in review year-end podcast to talk about them! Which overplayed song of the year AND the year before made you do backflips and/or lose control, Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things" or Teddy Swims's "Lose Control"? And if you have the time and money to spare, please consider donating to any of these causes in the fight for trans rights: Transgender Law Center Trans Lifeline Destination Tomorrow Gender-Affirming Care Fundraising on GoFundMe Also, please consider giving your local congresspeople a call in support of trans rights, with contact information you can find on  5Calls.org .
