Taylor Swift continues to dominate the music scene, and 2024 was no exception. Her album The Tortured Poets Department, released in April, made history by becoming the first album to ever top 300 million streams in just one day and hit over 1 billion streams in its first week. This incredible achievement solidified her place as one of the biggest artists of the year of this generation.
Not only did The Tortured Poets Department break records, but Taylor also made history in another way: she became the first female artist to win consecutive Top Streamed Artist awards. While she didn’t top the monthly charts this year, her overall consistency put her ahead of the pack. Taylor now joins Ed Sheeran with two wins in this category. However, Drake and Bad Bunny still reign with three wins each.
Now, this year, a lot of female artists shone brightly, with Sabrina Carpenter also leading the most-streamed song with her smash hit, Espresso. Apart from amassing a total of 1.6 billion streams globally for that viral song, her album Short n’ Sweet also made it to the third spot on the list of most-streamed albums of 2024. This marks a huge milestone for Sabrina, proving that she’s one of the top names in the music industry right now.
