Revealed: The Top Artists, Songs, Albums, Podcasts, and Audiobooks of 2024 — Spotify

December 4, 2024

Spotify Wrapped is all about celebrating the fans, artists, authors, podcasters, and creators who made 2024 the record-breaking, culture-making, fandom-shaking year it was. And this year, we’re celebrating this cultural moment that’s driven by the passion of hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

Wrapped has continued to command a global spotlight as artists, genres, and trends break into new spaces like never before. This includes:

In the world of podcasts, we have seen the growth of incredible fandoms across sports, comedy, and true crime in 2024. In fact, more than half a billion people have listened to a podcast on Spotify since we entered the space in 2019. And with more than 300,000 video podcasts soaring on Spotify in markets where they’re available, we saw fans enjoy the diversified way they consume content more than ever this year.

It’s also been a year since we launched Audiobooks in Premium (now available in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg), and we’ve seen both new releases and back-catalog titles from notable authors garner new audiences across every genre on Spotify. To mark this big milestone, we’re thrilled to release our Global Top Audiobooks of the Year list for the first time ever, led by 2024’s buzziest author, Sarah J. Maas, and her A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

But there’s so much more that happened over the course of the year. Keep reading to discover the artists, songs, albums, and podcasts that topped our lists in 2024, and find out how they compare to your personalized Wrapped experience.
