Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter shine in Apple Music’s 2024 top songs

Kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter lead Apple Music’s most-streamed songs of 2024, with Lamar’s “Not Like Us” claiming the top spot and Carpenter’s “Espresso” following closely in third. 

Lamar’s commanding rap style and Carpenter’s catchy pop anthem reflect the diverse musical preferences of global listeners. 

Despite a notable increase in female artists on the charts this year, it is these two artists—both from different genres—who secure the top positions, showcasing the widespread appeal of both rap and pop music in 2024.

Other notable tracks include Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” at number 2, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at number 4, and Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” at number 5, underscoring a blend of genres such as rap, indie, and mainstream pop. 

These tracks highlight how 2024’s music scene embraced a broad spectrum of styles, from introspective ballads to high-energy hits.

In addition, the Shazam Global Radio Spins chart, which tracks plays on over 40,000 radio stations worldwide, crowned Dua Lipa as the dominant artist with her hit “Houdini,” along with six other songs on the chart, more than any other artist.

The most-read lyrics of 2024 saw Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” making a strong appearance, further illustrating their impact on music lovers worldwide.

Apple Music’s year-end rankings reflect the continuing evolution of music consumption, where established stars like Lamar and Swift are complemented by fresh voices like Carpenter, dominating the airwaves and streaming charts alike.
