From this Monday (December 16), just 20 Estonian and 20 international songs remain in with a chance of winning Raadio 2's 2025 "Hit of the Year" Awards.

From December 15, only the 20 most popular songs chosen by the public will remain in the running.

The Estonian artist with the most hits in this year's top 20 is Säm, with four – two of which are collaborations.

As voting continues, they will be whittled down to the top ten from December 22.

The final round of voting ends at 1 p.m. Estonian time on December 29 when Raadio 2 begins its marathon "Hit of the Year" live broadcast.

The winner of the "Hit of the Year" and other awards will be announced on December 29 at 8 p.m., when Radio 2 goes live on D3.
