The Best Songs of 2024
Kendrick Lamar, Clairo, Taylor Swift, Doechii, Addison Rae, and more. Lots of music in 2024. Lots of it. Some people released *cough cough* 32 songs at once. On the same day. But more music means more good music, always. Many songs that don’t appear on this list very well could have: “Good Luck, Baby” became my karaoke song (a story I can’t tell on here), “girl so confusing with lorde” had me and a bunch of other 30-year-old men singing about having image issues, etc. But I like to keep this list short, so here are the songs that really captivated both (both!) my brain and heart this year:
10. “Life” — Jamie XX feat. Robyn
9. “Diet Pepsi” — Addison Rae
8. “Nissan Altima” — Doechii
7. “Guilty as Sin?” — Taylor Swift
6. “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” — Billie Eilish
5. “Espresso” — Sabrina Carpenter
4. “Sympathy is a Knife” — Charli XCX
3. “BODYGUARD” — Beyoncé
2. “Not Like US” — Kendrick Lamar
1. “Sexy to Someone” — Clairo
