On December 4, 2024By Littum

Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter are just a few of the artists who made a strong impact on Apple Music listeners in 2024, as the streaming service has revealed its year-end charts.

Lamar, who recently surprisingly released his latest album “GNX,” tops the global music charts with “Not Like Us,” the smash hit that came amid a bitter back-and-forth with Drake. After its release in May, the song spent more than six weeks atop the Global Daily Top 100, becoming his longest-running No. 1 in the chart’s history.

In addition, Apple Music has revealed its Global Shazam charts, with “Beautiful Things” taking top honors. Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” is at no. 2, followed by FloyyMenor and CrisMJ’s “Gata Only”, Cyril’s remix of Disturbed’s “The Sound of Silence” and Artemas’ “I Like the Way You Kiss Me”.
