Get ready to revisit your favorite tracks as Apple Music has launched its 2024 Replay feature on December 3. This innovative experience allows subscribers to see their most-streamed songs, albums, and artists from the past year while also providing an overview of the year’s top music trends.
According to Apple Music, 2024 has been a landmark year, highlighted by a record number of women appearing on the year-end global songs chart. This year also saw global genres reaching new highs, with many artists making their year-end chart debuts.
The company curated the 2024 Year-End Charts by analyzing streams, Shazam tags, and radio play. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” achieved the top position for global streams, dominating the Global Daily Hot 100 for over six weeks since its release in May. Other notable mentions in the top five include Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” and Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer.”
Additionally, Benson Boone topped the 2024 Global Shazam chart, while Dua Lipa led the inaugural Shazam Global Radio Spins chart, which compiles data from over 40,000 radio stations globally.
