Now that the excitement (or disappointment) of seeing your 2024 music taste incorporated into a little graph has settled and you are busy wrapping presents instead, it’s time to look at what you and your favourite HUB creators listened to the most before (remastered) wraps up as well.

Top trends readers

  • Charli XCX
Charli XCX by @leagarn

One of the most discussed artists of this year is Charli XCX without a doubt. After the release of BRAT before the peak of summer, she instantly became a sensation. Known for her alt-pop and hyperpop music for many years, she defined the summer with the neon green and simple font of her iconic 2024 album, taking everyone’s Spotify by storm.

  • Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is without a doubt one of the most famous and successful artists of the century. With a successful tour and a successful album under her belt, she has solidified herself as a the top artist of our generation, making her mark on the #1 spot of many readers.

  • Beyoncé

Forever iconic, Beyoncé once again was a staple on many people’s music wrapped. With Cowboy Carter, Renaissance and many of her classic hits making it into the wrapped lists of readers, showing her large fanbase and their unwavering support of the artist regardless of the genre of her releases.

  • Chappell Roan

The breakout star of this year’s wrapped was Chappell Roan. The twenty-six year old singer rose to success after eight years of hard work in the music industry. The striking singer has made a tremendous mark on the music industry with her album ‘The Rise and Fall of  a Midwest Princess.’ The songs off this album have made their way into everyone’s playlists and wrapped, including our readers’.

Now that we have looked at your top artists of the year, it’s time to look at the top artists and songs of your favourite HUB creators!

  • Island Ridym:

Island Ridym’s very own Gwen (who you may also know from BUAS From the Block) named Doechii as her top artist after much contemplation about her favourite artists of the year, with her song Denial Is a River being her standout top song of the year.

  • One Piece of Yapping:

One Piece of Yapping’s Maria loved herself some Bring Me the Horizon this year and had Too Sweet by Hozier on the top her 2024 playlist. Quin had Lilypichu and her song Starsmitten on the op of his list. And finally, Barbara’s top artist was The Driver Era with their song Rumors being her top song.

  • Never Would I ever

Never Would I Ever’s resident extrovert Loana saw Charli XCX rising to be her top artist of the year with Sympathy is a Knife by the singer being her top pick. What a suitable choice!

  • Down the Reddit Hole

Some HUB productions have their own favourite songs that make their way back into their programming time and time again. Ebony, Noah and Tess love themselves some Fleetwood Mac, especially their hit from ‘Tango in the Night’ Little Lies.

Now how else would this list end? As the writer of a music blog, it only makes sense I share my top artist. Unsurprisingly, my top artist of the year was Kate Bush with Good Luck Babe! By Chappell Roan being my most listened to song of the year.
