Chime’s 2025 In Review

As we step into the second month of 2026, all of us at Chime are taking a moment to reflect on what an incredible year 2025 turned out to be.

Across our 8 day-to-day clients — not including the many one-off projects we supported — we reached 3/4 of a billion total views, surpassed 10 million followers, contributed to the release of 5 albums, and celebrated a milestone years in the making: 1 BILLION streams (a 2x growth from just a few years ago).

We helped shepherd 5 new albums this year, our contributions ranging from soup-to-nuts digital strategy, album photography, and overall digital marketing content. Here’s a breakdown of the incredible clients (and friends!) we collaborated on albums with:

G3 Joe Satriani / Eric Johnson / Steve Vai – “G3 Reunion Live” (listen here)

Sammy Hagar – “The Residency | The Best Of All Worlds Band Live Album” (listen here)

Colin Hay – “Man @ Work Vol.2” (listen here)

BEAT – “BEAT LIVE” (listen here)

Third Mind – “Live Mind” (listen here)

Take a look inside Third Mind’s Live Mind, featuring a striking collage of photographs captured by Chime’s Jon Luini and others.

…and a sneak peak into the “BEAT LIVE” deluxe hardbound photobook — and spot a familiar name in the bottom left corner of this Tony Levin shot! So many wonderful photos in this book by Jon and other photographers. Make sure to get the deluxe release that includes bonus video interview footage Jon conducted & filmed.

2025 was another year on the road for video and photography shoots — from scenic Mt. Tamalpais at Sound Summit Music Festival to SATCHVAI Band rehearsals and dozens of other stages across California. Safe to say, we never mind leaving the office. Check out some highlights in the gallery below — and cheers to an eventful 2026!
