Kendrick Lamar has been named the top songwriter for 2025, thanks to 22 distinct songwriting credits on the Billboard Hot 100. This prestigious ranking acknowledges his contributions throughout the charting year, which concluded on October 18, 2025. His success was propelled by massive hits like the 13-week chart-topping single "Luther," featuring SZA, and the one-week number one "Squabble Up."
Several of Lamar's 22 charting songs were carryovers from previous periods, with their continued presence on the Hot 100 counting towards his 2025 ranking. Hits such as "Not Like Us" and "Humble." remained on the charts due to their sustained popularity. Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show performance in February also reignited interest in older tracks like "All the Stars," leading to their re-entry and continued charting.
Beyond Lamar's dominance, the year-end Hot 100 Songwriters chart saw other notable placements. Amy Allen secured the second position with 31 songs, including top 10 hits like Sabrina Carpenter's "Manchild." Sabrina Carpenter herself ranked third, followed by Charlie Handsome at fourth, and Billie Eilish and FINNEAS tied for fifth.
