Top Songs of 2024: Australia

Apple Music’s end-of-year charts are based on plays between November 1, 2023, and October 31, 2024. Taylor. Miley. Sabrina. Dua Lipa. Olivia. It’s safe to say that pop stayed on top for Australian listeners this year. Taylor Swift alone snagged 17 spots on this playlist—which is unsurprising, really: Taylor fever was everywhere. (Some have even estimated her Australian tour pumped more than half-a-billion dollars into the country’s economy.) Country singers including Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, and Morgan Wallen rose up the ranks, too, while the genre’s reach continues expanding with help from crossover releases from Beyoncé and Post Malone. When it comes to local music, newer tracks from Troye Sivan and Dom Dolla joined perennial chart-toppers from Tones And I, The Kid LAROI, and Vance Joy. But yesteryear hits didn’t stop there: Appearances from The Goo Goo Dolls (1998’s “Iris”) and Fleetwood Mac (1977’s “Dreams”) prove it doesn’t matter how many new trends emerge and evolve—beloved songs from the past will never go out of style.
