Europe’s most listened-to artist on radio in 2025 was Ed Sheeran while Alex Warren's hit song “Ordinary” emerged as the most listened-to song across European radio. The results are published as part of Radioplayer’s annual overview of actual radio listening. Unlike traditional radio charts, which measure what is broadcast, RADIO PLAYED 2025 reveals what listeners actually chose to listen to across platforms, countries and moments, and is based on aggregated listening data from the Radioplayer platform. Beyond music, RADIO PLAYED 2025 also reflects how radio is used across Europe. Paris recorded the longest average listening sessions of any city, while 27 November became the single biggest radio day of the year, driven by an intense international news cycle that brought audiences back to live radio at scale.
