At long last, the day has arrived: This morning, Spotify users around the world awoke to find their Spotify Wrapped 2024 had landed. 

While it’s fun to pick through our own respective reports—did I really listen to Chappell Roan *that* many times? Guess so!—it’s just as interesting to look at the broader numbers. Namely, on its big day, the streamer releases data around its most-streamed artists, songs and more. Essentially, it’s a nice little capsule of what exactly the public have been listening to all year and, by extension, which artists ruled the airwaves and pop culture (not to be dramatic). 

Intrigued as to how your personal Wrapped stacks up? Wondering if your fave cracked the top 10? Scroll on for all the rankings.
