00:00After months of anticipation and waiting, Spotify Rapt is finally here for 2024 and
00:08you can find it in your app now. But who were the top artists around the world? Obviously
00:14your lists will be very different and we won't know what your list is but Spotify has provided
00:20the top 10 artists in the world and there's some surprises. The top song streamed around
00:26the world this year was Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter but she is not in the top 10 for
00:33artists streamed around the world this year despite also having the number 3 most listened
00:38to album on Spotify in 2024. So yeah, the top artist for 2024 was once again Taylor
00:44Swift so that's the second year in a row. She was followed by The Weeknd in second place
00:49while Bad Bunny, the reggaeton artist, was in third place. Drake was in fourth and rounding
00:55out the top 5 was Billie Eilish but there's still more in the top 10 so there was Travis
01:01Scott was number 6, the Mexican singer Peso Pluma was number 7, Kanye West was still in
01:10the top 10 at 8 and then Ariana Grande was 9 and Fade, another Latin artist, was at number
01:1810. But what was the most popular song in the UK in 2024? Well, a bit of a surprise
01:24perhaps but the song Stick Season by Noah Kahn, I think that's how you pronounce it
01:30maybe, was actually the most popular song in the UK in 2024 which if you've been following
01:37the UK sort of top hits might not surprise you because it's been there like all year,
01:45no matter, I mean it has been a pretty gloomy summer so I guess it's been Stick Season all
01:51year round for the UK listeners.
