ET Boys: 2025 Was the Year Everything Changed
2025 was different.
Not just numbers. Not just charts. Not just releases.
This was the year the music traveled farther than we ever imagined — into new cities, new countries, and new ears all over the world.
179 Countries. Still Doesn’t Feel Real.
Seeing our music spinning in 179 countries is something we don’t take lightly. That’s not an algorithm win — that’s people, somewhere out there, pressing play.
Different time zones. Different cultures. Same feeling.
That alone made 2025 unforgettable.
“Woe Am I” Took On a Life of Its Own
“Woe Am I” became more than a song this year — it became a moment.
- KAZI 88.7 FM (The Voice of Austin): 7 weeks at #1, 2 weeks at #2, and finishing the final chart of 2025 back at #1
- Digital Radio Tracker Indie Chart: #1 for 3 weeks, later landing at #5, and closing the year at #3
- IGR Miami: #1 for three weeks straight
- Kings of Spins: Hit #1 and still riding strong
- The Urban Influencer: #3 overall
- Radio Indie Alliance: #2 Song of the Year
Watching that kind of consistency taught us something important: when a song connects, it connects everywhere.
Five Releases. All Moving.
We didn’t slow down in 2025.
We dropped five records — and every single one found its lane:
- Far Away
- Metroid Freestyle
- Holy Ghost
- Ritual
- Woe Am I
Highlights we’re still wrapping our heads around:
- #1 “Metroid Freestyle” on The Exclusive Radio
- #5 on The Hit List 88.8
- #1 on The Urban Influencer with “Love Me If You Must”
- #1 Band to Look Out For – El Martello
That kind of spread told us we’re doing something right — not chasing one sound, but building a world.
From Studio to Stage — 2026 Starts Loud
2025 built the foundation. 2026 brings it to life.
On January 24, 2026, we’ll be supporting Riff Raff live in West Palm Beach, Florida. That’s our transition point — from studio energy to live energy.
New chapter. New pressure. New excitement.
Gratitude, Always
Big love to Tavaron Marshall, Rudy Villarreal, everyone at Wake Up Music Group, the DJs, the stations, and the listeners who believed early and kept pressing play.
We know this recap barely scratches the surface — and honestly, we might need an assistant or some AI help to keep track of it all next year.
But one thing is clear:
No idea how we top 2025 — but with the people around us, all things are possible.
Happy New Year.
ET Boys
