To Kick Off 2026, Our Top 2025: Extreme Eclecticism!

· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Happy New Year 2026 and may the winter solstice be kind to you! As has been the case since its initial launch in December 2019, PAN M 360 is revealing its favorite albums. If you are not yet familiar with our editorial approach, you may be surprised that musical style, cultural origin, era, generation, or language of expression—beyond our bilingual approach—are not subject to any hierarchy.

And that’s why we’re throwing our suggestions at you, so you can dive headfirst into this unique selection of Quebec, Canadian, and international productions. In 2026, PAN M 360 encourages you to take risks in your artistic choices and forge your own path with us through the exponential offerings from every corner of the globe. And that’s precisely why we encourage you to browse our Top 2025, to sample everything you can. Long live extreme eclecticism!

Thank you to the volunteers in our community for participating in the production of this 2025 selection, now behind us. We will be highlighting it until mid-January 2026.

Thank you Frédéric Cardin, Sandra Gasana, Jacob Langlois-Pelletier, Michel Labrecque, Sami Rixhon, Stephan Boissonneault, Vitta Morales, Florence Cantin, Arielle Desgroseillers-Taillon, Simon Gervais, Helena Palmer, Harry Skinner, Alexis Desrosiers-Michaud, Marc-Antoine Bernier, Loic Minty, Félicité Couëlle-Brunet, John Buck,  Z Neto Vinheiras, Marilyn Bouchard, Léa Dieghi, Philippe Larocque, Alain Brunet.
