Once again, we did the impossible: we argued, we reminisced, we defended our picks way too passionately… and somehow landed on The ALT 50 of 2025.
These are the 50 biggest alternative songs in Calgary this year: hand-picked by the X team. No algorithms. No vibes-based guesses. Just real humans who listened to a lot of music in 2025 and said, “Yeah… this one stays.”
We’re counting it all down New Year’s Eve from 5–9pm, perfectly soundtracking your night whether you’re getting ready to go out, already out, staying in, or pretending you’re going out but definitely not. Then, because one run-through simply isn’t enough, we’re playing it all over again on New Year’s Day.
Throughout the countdown, the X crew takes turns hosting, sharing stories, hot takes, and random memories from the year that was. You’ll hear moments and chaos from Beckler & Seanna, Sean, Sam, Ty, and Millions; plus some side quests about things that absolutely happened in 2025. For sure!
And yes. Ty and Millions vs. Dick Clark. Because it’s New Year’s, tradition matters, and also we can’t be stopped.
Whether you’re pregaming, hosting, cleaning up, recovering, or just letting the music do the heavy lifting, we’ve got your soundtrack locked in.
