Q: Who topped the charts in 2024?

A: Taylor Swift, of course. She’s the Beyoncé of Spotify - unbeatable and universally adored.

Q: What’s her big flex this year?

A: Over 26.6 billion streams and the record-breaking album "The Tortured Poets Department". She also snagged the top spot for most-streamed albums and most dramatic album titles.

Q: Did anyone else make the cut?

A: The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake, and Billie Eilish rounded out the top five, presumably while bowing down to Queen Taylor.

Q: What about the most-streamed songs?

A: Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” topped the list, proving that caffeine isn’t just for mornings - it's for the charts too.

Q: Any surprises on the global album rankings?

A: Women absolutely dominated. Eight of the top 10 albums were from female artists. Yes, patriarchy, take a seat.

Q: Did Spotify do anything special for Swifties?

A: Oh, absolutely. Custom play button animations for every Taylor Swift era and an actual badge for her profile. Meanwhile, the rest of us are lucky to get one artist thank-you video.

Q: What’s new in Wrapped this year?

A: AI-generated podcasts about your listening habits, musical phases that sound like zodiac signs, and playlists so personal they might as well come with therapy recommendations.

Q: What about podcasts?

A: The Joe Rogan Experience still reigns supreme, but Call Her Daddy and Huberman Lab aren’t far behind. Apparently, people love extremes - testosterone-fueled rants or mental health advice. No in-between.

Q: What’s Spotify’s big takeaway for 2024?

A: Taylor Swift rules the world, Billie Eilish owns your moody playlists, and the AI takeover has officially begun. Welcome to the future, and don’t forget to thank your algorithm.
