The final Texas Regional Radio Report of 2025 is officially in, and the top spot belongs to Grant Gilbert and Hudson Westbrook. Their song “Bad Reputation” closes out the year as the most-played track on Texas regional radio, earning the No. 1 position on the final chart.
“Bad Reputation” is one of those songs that feels tailor-made for Texas radio. It’s gritty without trying too hard, melodic but still rough around the edges, and built around that familiar outlaw-leaning country spirit that resonates with listeners across the state. The song leans into owning your flaws, wearing your scars, and being just fine with the reputation you’ve earned, even if it’s a little rough.
Congrats to Grant Gilbert and Hudson Westbrook on closing out 2025 at No. 1 with a well-earned finish for a song that Texas radio fully embraced.
