❶ Counting down the top 💯 stories of 2025 on Page One: Day 5
No. 20 - 1 ...
🎉 Happy New Year, Page One readers! As we begin 2026, we hope you’ve been enjoying the holiday break and wish you a happy, healthy year ahead. We also hope you’ve been enjoying our countdown of the top 100 stories that subscribers clicked on in 2025. Tomorrow, we’ll have a special 2025 retrospective and a look ahead at what to expect in 2026. And we’ll be back in your inbox on Jan. 5, 2026, with your usual update on all of the day’s news and developments.
A few notes on the countdown:
→ Breaking news stories, hard news stories and developing stories have been excluded from the list, because in many cases, those stories developed many times over since they were first included in Page One and, essentially, are obsolete at this point.
→ One of the cool things about Page One is that we feature numerous stories that aren’t necessarily ‘need to know’ but very much are the types of stories that you want to know about, often guiding you easily around paywalls to premium content. This is a great opportunity to see what resonated most with the Page One readership — and catch up on anything that you might’ve missed throughout the year.
→ Your turn. Got a favorite story that you saw on Page One this year? Let us know by replying to the email and letting us know what it was, or leaving a comment on the poll at the bottom.
Now, on to the fifth and final installment of the Top 100 ↓
