Deezer presents the music that defined 2024 and highlights artists to watch for in 2025. In the brand new, personalized and shareable My Deezer Year experience, fans can now choose to be roasted or hyped up based on their taste in music.
Paris, November 19, 2024 – Once again, it’s time to uncover the year’s most-streamed artists and songs – and, of course, see which tracks, artists and genres top everyone’s personal playlists. My Deezer Year 2024 is here!
On average people listened to 70 hours of music globally on Deezer, racking up 400 songs from nearly 170 artists. Generally, people discovered close to 80 new songs and almost 3 % of all Deezer subscribers are a superfan of one or more artists.
Azzedine Fall, Director of Music & Culture, Deezer said: “Globally, 2024 has been a year of music discovery and new voices, bringing a wave of fresh talent and thrilling shifts in the mainstream. Breakout stars including Sabrina Carpenter, Asake, Chappell Roan, and Benson Boone have left a lasting mark, captivating audiences worldwide with their unique styles and stories. Carpenter solidified her place in the pop world while Asake brought an infectious energy to Afrobeats that resonated far beyond Nigeria. Chappell Roan’s bold, genre-blurring pop and Benson Boone’s soaring vocals and acrobatics captured listeners’ attention, marking them as new leaders.”
