Sidemen Charity Match 2025: The Creators (and Music) That Took Over YouTube

The Sidemen Charity Football Match is back, and this year, it was bigger than ever. On 8th March 2025, Wembley Stadium was packed with fans as some of the biggest creators in the world took to the pitch, all in the name of a good cause. With the event running since 2016, the Sidemen Charity Match has become a major moment in the creator calendar.

It’s not surprising then that it wasn’t just the stadium buzzing with excitement – YouTube was too. The event dominated the trending page, and we’re very proud to say that 6 out of the top 25 trending videos that week featured licensed mainstream music from Lickd. 

Creators like ChrisMD, Joe Weller, Logan Paul, The Fellas, and Theo Baker all soundtracked their content with mainstream hits through Lickd and made it onto the trending page. You can watch them all below!

The Sidemen themselves are no strangers to using Lickd music either, joining the ranks of creators elevating their content with chart-topping tracks.
