Yellow Brit Road 14 December 2025: Best of 2025 Part 1, Sorry

Over the next couple of weeks, we're looking back on the year in music on the Yellow Brit Road. With friends and fellow members of the music community joining me on the show, we pick our highlights of 2025. This week, Lauren, Kelly and Adam join me to pick their best albums, artists, shows and moments of 2025, and look ahead to what 2026 holds for music. Plus, we are joined on the show by Asha Lorenz and Louis O'Bryen from London rock band Sorry, whose 3rd album Cosplay is one of our albums of the year.
