SoundCloud’s Music Intelligence Report reveals the most-played and most-liked songs that dominated the platform across the US and UK in 2024.

SoundCloud’s first-ever Music Intelligence Report has spotlighted the most popular songs released in 2024. While hip hop remained the dominant genre in the US, the UK saw house music continue to rise as these tracks grabbed the top spots. A key feature across both US lists are viral tracks from Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef, including the infamous “Not Like Us”.

Unlike all-time streaming charts, this ranking focuses solely on the number of streams and likes across 2024, offering an insight into what listeners engaged with the most throughout the year.
