A few hours ago, Billboard surprised by sharing their Top 10 Wildest Music Moments That Defined Pop Culture in 2025, recalling the most iconic things that occurred in the music and entertainment world in the last 12 months.
The media started their report by making a moment for the honorable mentions, some important events that didn’t make it to be in the top 10 but which were relevant enough to have a mention before the official list.
Meanwhile, talking about Harry Styles’s appearances and Cardi B’s new partner and baby, Billboard said, “BTS finally reunited on camera after its seven members finished their respective military enlistments”, recalling this long-awaited reunion for the K-Pop industry.
