Staff List: The 100 Best Songs of 2024


Best Songs of 2024: The 100 best songs of the year.

Formed in front of the world on HYBE x Geffen Records’ Dream Academy competition in 2023, their earworm of a pop song, “Touch,” undoubtedly became their breakthrough this year — and its viral double-shaka, alternating pinky-to-thumb dance move, recreated by thousands of fans (affectionately known as EYEKONS), fellow idols and casual TikTok users alike, made the smash all the more addictive. Two of 2024’s hottest female MCs (and one hip-hop GOAT contender) join Tyler, the Creator on Chromakopia standout “Sticky.” Playground chants, clanging cowbell and chest-rattling bass give GloRilla and Sexyy ample space for a well-earned victory lap in 2024, while Weezy flexes his inimitable wordplay without breaking a sweat (“standing like ovation on business occupation”).
