With 2025 almost upon us, and another year of the early 2000s becoming old enough to be considered “vintage”, we’ve decided to take a step back in time.
Before the internet took over and when CD sales were at an all time high, the turn of the millennium was full of promise after Y2K failed to make the world end.
It was also a prime period for pop music as bands from Westlife to All Saints took over the charts, with artists including Craig David, Billie Piper and Britney Spears also releasing various number 1 hits.
With more than two decades between then and now, here are 25 songs turning 25 years old in 2025.
9. How to Disappear Completely by Radiohead
Marking a departure from their earlier sound in 2000 Radiohead released their fourth album Kid A. While it divided fans at the time, it is now considered among the best records of the decade with the first song on the album, How to Disappear Completely, turning 25 in 2025. | Getty Images
