Get ready to revisit your favorite tunes as Apple Music releases its 2024 Replay feature on December 3. This exciting new experience allows subscribers to see their most-played songs, albums, and artists from the year while also showcasing the year’s top music trends.
Apple Music announced that 2024 was a landmark year, marking a significant increase in female artists making it onto the year-end global songs chart. The streaming service noted that global genres reached unprecedented heights, with several artists who previously never appeared on these charts making their debuts this year.
The 2024 Year-End Charts by Apple Music celebrate the most popular songs of the year based on various metrics, including streams, Shazam tags, and radio play. Kendrick Lamar’s hit “Not Like Us” claimed the top spot as the most streamed song globally, following an impressive six-week run at the pinnacle of the Global Daily Hot 100 chart after its release in May. Coming in second was Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” with Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” taking third, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” in fourth, and Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” rounding out the top five.
Boone also emerged as the leader of the 2024 Global Shazam chart, while Dua Lipa topped the inaugural Shazam Global Radio Spins chart, which analyzes data from over 40,000 radio stations worldwide.
