MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Mark Kellogg and his Mountaineers (14-3, 4-1)return to Morgantown riding high after upsetting then No. 11 Iowa State 83-70.

The Mountaineers are coming into Hope Coliseum with plenty of confidence after holding Preseason Player of the Year Audi Crooks to 22 points and forcing 4 turnovers.

With how strong 2024 was, one could be forgiven for assuming out of the gate that sort of momentum wouldn’t be able to hold going into next year. However, between the resistance against our AI overlords and the return of some artists so old that they might as well be fossils, this year has graced both the airwaves and U92 in particular with some truly spectacular albums. With a whopping 500 albums added to our rotation over the past year, there has been something for everyone.

From hyperpop and hardcore to alt-country and shoegaze, almost every genre under the sun could be heard during our new music show, New Music Pioneer. However, as the year comes to a close, we wanted to see what was the best of the best and voted amongst ourselves on the cream of the crop. So, without further ado, the U92 Music Staff brings you our official nominations for the Top 25 Albums of the Year for 2025!
