Much like anticipating turkey on Thanksgiving, Spotify users have their own end-of-year tradition: eagerly awaiting their Spotify Wrapped results. It's almost like a report card that helps sum up our entire year’s vibe in one well-animated slideshow. Today, Spotify Wrapped 2024 just got released, and as a platform dedicated to reporting the best of Singapore, our first order of business is diving into Singapore’s top artistes and songs to uncover the soundtrack of our nation’s collective earworms.
First and foremost, Taylor Swift takes the win as the most-streamed artiste in the world, for the second consecutive year. No surprises there – this year was all about her Eras Tour, alongside her new album release The Tortured Poets Department. She’s also Singapore’s top artiste of 2024, followed by Taiwanese heartthrob Jay Chou and American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars.
We haven’t forgotten about our local musicians either – 2024’s top Singaporean artiste goes to JJ Lin, followed by Stefanie Sun and Tanya Chua. Just one ranking away is the up-and-coming singer-songwriter Regina Song, whose latest song the cutest pair went viral on Tiktok. She has also garnered over two million streams on Spotify – say it with us: Singapore-represent!
So what’s been making waves in Singaporeans’ earphones this 2024? Leading the pack is Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter, followed by Who by Jimin and Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish. Interestingly, this lineup closely mirrors the global top tracks for 2024, with one key difference: Beautiful Things by Benson Boone takes second place worldwide.
