Shaboozey had one heck of a year. After being featured on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter, the singer shot to superstardom with his hit single "A Bar Song (Tipsy)." His success even earned him five nominations at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Usher has been the world's man crush for years, and his Vegas residency and Super Bowl halftime performance made him even more of a catch in our eyes.

We can't forget about Cincinnati Bengals newcomer Chase Brown. Because of his style, smile, and performance on the field (hello, seven touchdowns), he's got a stamp of approval in our book.

Like Giveon, CMC doesn't have to do much for people to notice his good looks. No, really —just look at him. 

Timothée Chalamet has been a hot topic since his romantic relationship with Kylie Jenner popped off on social media. And, honestly, we can understand why. 

Bad Bunny doesn't say or do much, but when he does pop out, he knows how to make a splash. The singer often posts photos of himself on Instagram, and users are quick to comment on his stunning looks. "I hope Santa puts you under my tree this year," one user said. 

Should we just list the entire Bengals team at this point? Sam Hubbard, the NFL defensive end from Cincinnati, is another NFL baller whose good looks could surely earn him a spot on People's cover in a few years.
