ASCAP Pop Music Awards 2025 Crown New Kings of the Charts

At the glitzy ASCAP Pop Music Awards in Los Angeles, Jack Antonoff and Teddy Swims emerged as the highlights of the night, proving once again that talent, not just a million TikTok views, wins awards. Their song “Lose Control” claimed the title of Song of the Year, leaving everyone wondering if dance moves were also included in the judging criteria.

Antonoff snagged the coveted title of Songwriter of the Year, with an impressive list of credits, including contributions to hits like Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” and Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero”. With this many winning songs, I suppose he’s just one catchy chorus away from being crowned a musical demigod! Which song gets the first place in the pantheon?

“Lose Control,” co-written by Joshua “Ammo” Coleman, doesn’t just sit pretty; it’s the reigning champion on the Billboard Hot 100, with a record-breaking 58 weeks in the top 10. If you’re keeping score at home, that’s longer than most people can stay committed to a New Year’s resolution! But does it come with a trophy for longevity?

The night also saw Sony Music Publishing taking home the title of Publisher of the Year, thanks to a roster including artists like Dua Lipa and Beyoncé. President Katie Welle basked in the glory, sharing heartfelt words about the incredible talent represented, and hinting that perhaps there’s a secret formula to musical magic. Will she share it with us mere mortals?

Waiting for the applause to fade, ASCAP also recognized chart-toppers like Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” and Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help.” Each performance likely had its own fun twist, but it’s hard not to wonder how many backstage cups of coffee fueled all that creativity. What’s the biggest secret to their success: caffeine or sheer willpower?
