Myles Smith made his Top 5 debut with the airplay giant ‘Stargazing’, and Billie Eilish hit #2 with ‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER’. Benson Boone made his Top 40 debut by having a #1 and ‘24’s second biggest seller with ‘Beautiful Things’ – and the year also saw Teddy Swims reach #2 with ‘Lose Control’

Country influenced pop in a big way in 2024 and Post Malone collaborated with Morgan Wallen and had a huge global smash with ‘ I Had Some Help’ – whilst Dasha enjoyed a big hit with ‘Austin’. SZA took ‘Kill Bill’ to the Top 3 in 2023, as did Tate McRae with ‘greedy’. Tyla made her chart debut with ‘Water’, and ‘Close To You’ became Gracie Abrams’ first UK Top 40 hit.

Lana Del Rey had a Top 10 single with ‘Say Yes To Heaven’, Dua Lipa opened her 2024 album campaign with ‘Houdini’, and ‘yes, and?’ reached #2 at the start of an amazing year for Ariana Grande as both a singer and actress. Two huge #1s from RAYE feat. 070 Shake (‘Escapism’), and Miley Cyrus (‘Flowers’ – 2023’s biggest seller) feature alongside stellar pop from Conan Gray, Tom Grennan, Madison Beer, Troye Sivan, Shawn Mendes…and KAROL G, with her pop anthem ‘Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido’ – a single that became a hit in more than 10 European countries as well as the US and South America – and was awarded in Spain for 10 x Platinum sales, making it 2024’s best seller there.
