00:00From Kendrick and Drake's Beef, to Bratz Summer, to the end of The Heiress Tour,
00:04you could say 2024 was defined by musical moments.
00:07So we're counting down the 10 best songs of 2024.
00:17Coming in at number 10 is No Caller ID by Megan Maroney. According to THR's music critic
00:22Mesfin Fakadu, if you haven't listened to the rising country music star yet, this is the place
00:26to start. Number nine is Fortnite by Taylor Swift, featuring Post Malone. Fakadu says,
00:37Fortnite is mellow and down-tempo, but also bold and direct, putting Swift's skilled songwriting
00:42in the driver's seat with a shining assist from Malone. Eighth on the list is Heart of a Woman
00:52by Summer Walker, who our critic says continues to lead R&B's contemporary class.
01:01This list wouldn't be complete without what many called the song of the summer,
01:05Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. According to Fakadu, like the drink it's named after,
01:09the song is tasty and addictive. Number six is What You Know About Me by Glorilla,
01:18featuring Sexy Red. THR's critic says this year really put Glorilla on the map,
01:23proving she's not going anywhere but up.
01:30Cracking the top five is Beautiful Things by Benson Boone, which Fakadu says is more than
01:34a social media hit thanks to the rising singer's beautiful, rocking vocals and reflective songwriting.
01:40Bratz Summer ruled 2024, so it's no surprise that Charli XCX is on this
01:47list with her electronic bop, 360. Tinashe comes in at number three with Nasty,
01:57which our critic calls a slick track that forces your bones to dance.
02:01Beyonce is number two on the list with her Cowboy Carter track,
02:10Too Most Wanted, featuring Miley Cyrus. Fakadu calls the song a remarkable duet,
02:14full of country, rock and pop elements.
02:21And finally, number one is Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar. While the song might have
02:26started off as a Drake diss track, THR's music critic says it evolved into a worldwide prolific
02:31anthem that needs to be celebrated. For more year-end top 10 lists,
