As we move through the continents, it’s clear that music is a universal language, uniting people worldwide through rhythm, melody, and lyrics.

2024 has been a year of explosive talent and chart-topping hits, with some truly incredible artists making their mark across the globe. While the top 3 artists—Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and Drake—took the crown, a whole host of other superstars have been dominating the scene, filling our playlists and shaking up the music industry. From Ed Sheeran and Imagine Dragons to Rihanna and Post Malone, these artists have not only racked up streams but also influenced genres and trends, proving their place in the global spotlight. Whether it’s the infectious beats of Metro Boomin, the Latin rhythms of Bad Bunny and Peso Pluma, or the soulful melodies of Olivia Rodrigo and Kendrick Lamar, these artists have truly made 2024 a year to remember.

But it’s not just the US and Latin America that are shining—Africa, Europe, and Asia have also emerged as powerhouses in the global music scene. Afrobeats has dominated across borders, with Tems, Ayra Starr, and Tyla leading the charge from Nigeria and South Africa. These incredible women are redefining what it means to be a global icon, taking Afrobeats from Lagos to Hollywood and beyond. Their rise shows that this genre isn’t just a trend—it’s a movement taking over the world stage.

Meanwhile, Europe has continued to produce music icons with an immense influence. From the dance-pop power of Dua Lipa and Rita Ora in the UK to the infectious energy of Coldplay and David Guetta in France, the continent has consistently delivered world-class talent. Their ability to blend diverse influences and push the boundaries of pop, electronic, and rock music has made them stand out on the global charts, creating waves that resonate from London to Paris and beyond.

In Asia, we’ve seen a rise in global stars bringing unique sounds to the forefront. BTS’s legacy continues to shine with solo projects, while artists like Pritam from India and SEVENTEEN from South Korea have also captured massive international attention. These artists are taking Asian music to global heights and proving that Asia is a creative force that’s influencing the sound of the future.
