For most Gen Z and millennials, Disney Channel was a childhood entertainment staple. The flashy over-the-top acting and musical performances captivated our attention spans for decades. There were countless tunes and choreographies that we spent hours memorizing in our bedrooms instead of studying or sleeping. These timeless movies and shows shaped us into who we are today and influenced our interests.

Before launching into 2026, we'd like to reflect on the music of 2025—the melodies that accompanied us through our highs and lows, the live shows that left us starstruck, and the artists who inspired us. The Mido team listens to a wide range of genres and artists, which is why we've surveyed some of our members, asking them about their favorites from this year—the songs, concerts, and interviews. What has defined 2025 in our memories musically?
