From established superstars to rising indie darlings, the diversity and richness of the tracks released so far are nothing short of astounding. This list isn't just a collection of popular hits but a curated selection that represents the broad spectrum of genres and emotions that 2024 has offered.

This year has been a notable one for the bold experimentation and fearless creativity displayed by artists across the globe. Whether it's the introspective lyrics of Billie Eilish or the genre-blending sounds of Fontaines DC, each track on this list brings something unique to the table. These songs have not only topped charts but also resonated deeply with listeners, making us dance, cry, and everything in between. Each artist only gets one entry, and there's 100 in total over five, twenty song chunks. Yes, it'll keep you going for a while.

So, without further ado, here's part two of our list of the best songs of 2024 (so far). Dive in, discover new favourites, and revisit the tracks that have defined your year. From pop anthems to heartfelt ballads, there's something here for every music lover.


Nilüfer Yanya - 'Like I Say (I runaway)'

Nilüfer Yanya's 'Like I Say (I runaway)' is a triumphant return that seamlessly blends vulnerability with raw power. Yanya's melodic guitar work builds to a distorted, explosive hook that'll knock socks straight off. It's a song about the preciousness of time, with Yanya urging us to live authentically before it's too late - a tantalising taste of what's to come from an indie rock powerhouse.

A. G. Cook - 'Out of Time'

A. G. Cook's 'Out of Time' is a mind-bending journey through the past and future of pop. From his album 'Britpop', it's a track that - like the record itself - defies easy categorisation, blending nostalgic elements with Cook's signature futuristic production. 'Out of Time' proves that Cook isn't just pushing boundaries - he's obliterating them.

beabadoobee - 'Take A Bite'

Beabadoobee's 'Take A Bite' is a deliciously dark departure. A preview of her upcoming album 'This Is How Tomorrow Moves', it dives headfirst into the toxicity of temptation. Bea's dreamy vocals float over grungy guitars as she explores the allure of bad decisions. If this is how tomorrow moves, we're excited to follow where beabadoobee leads.
