Top Streaming Music Of 2024

As 2024 comes to a close, the annual Best Of Lists come out and boy, do I love a good list!

Spotify put out their annual Most Streamed of the year and here’s how it shook down:

No surprise: Taylor Swift was the most streamed ARTIST of the year globally for the second year in a row.  She also captured the top spot for the most streamed ALBUM: “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology”.

But what’s strange is that she didn’t have the most streamed Song of the year (or even one in the Top 5).

Here are some Top 5’s from the Spotify U.S. charts:

1.  Taylor Swift  (Also #1 globally.)
2.  Drake
3.  Zach Bryan
4.  Morgan Wallen
