On 1001Tracklists' 2025 chart, Mau P's house rework of Tame Impala's The Less I Know The Better was played by 233 different DJs, more than any other track. He had played it since early 2023; it only came out in February 2025.

DJs' No. 1 track of 2025 was a 2015 song, played in clubs for two years before release.

Facts

  • On 1001Tracklists' 2025 chart, Mau P's “The Less I Know The Better” (Nervous) was played by 233 different DJs – the most of any track. No. 2: Cloonee & InntRaw & Young M.A's “Stephanie” (226); No. 3: Mau P's “Like I Like It” (219).
  • How it is counted: fans log the tracks in DJ sets on the site – 72,075 new tracklists in 2025 (almost 200 a day; 15,492 of them live sets), added only after a set has aired or been posted online. The chart counts unique DJs, each DJ once however often they play it, and only “qualifying” DJs: to have their sets added, artists need 3 tracks in the database and support from 3 DJs, or one track and support from 10.
  • The track is a 128 BPM house rework of Tame Impala's 2015 song; Kevin Parker is credited as its sole writer. 1001Tracklists' first logged play is Mau P at Academy, Los Angeles, on 18 February 2023; it came out on 28 February 2025 on Nervous Records. Mau P called it “a secret weapon in my set”.
  • Before the release, a fan's SoundCloud upload taken from his set at Club Space in Miami got millions of plays (Beatportal). Clearing the sample took time: Mau P said he had tried “various other routes” before Nervous “just pulled through”.
  • It went to No. 1 on Beatport's overall chart and, in May 2025, on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart – Kevin Parker's third No. 1 there as a writer, after Dua Lipa's “Houdini” and “Illusion”. Tame Impala's original had peaked at No. 35 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs.
  • The 2024 No. 1 on the same chart was The Temper Trap's “Sweet Disposition (John Summit & Silver Panda Remix)”, played by 262 DJs – a remix of a 2008 single by an Australian indie rock band.

Script

Guess which track DJs played most in 2025. The Less I Know The Better. A 2015 song by Australia's Tame Impala, made into a house track by Dutch DJ Mau P. But he'd played it since early 2023, two years before you could buy it. A fan's recording from his Miami set landed on SoundCloud – millions of plays. Getting permission to use the original took time. It came out in February 2025. On 1001Tracklists, where fans log DJ sets, 233 different DJs played it in 2025. More than any other track. Each DJ counts once, however often they play it. The year before, No. 1 was another Australian song, remixed: Sweet Disposition, from 2008.
