BBC Radio 1 reveals their biggest song of 2024 – but do YOU agree?

Sabrina Carpenter scored the biggest song of 2024 with her hit Espresso.

BBC Radio 1 said the hit, which spent five weeks at number one in the UK charts when it was released in April, was number one in their Top 100 countdown.

The 25-year-old singer defeated rivals Charli XCX with 360 and Chappell Roan’s song Good Luck, Babe! who came second and third.

BBC said the Top 100 songs were compiled with chart success, audience engagement and cultural relevance in mind – but do you agree with the top 10?

The channel dedicated a special slot to Radio 1’s Biggest Songs of 2024, presented by Vick Hope, Matt Edmondson, Jeremiah Asiamah and Katie Thistleton, which can be listened to on BBC Sounds.

Other songs that made the top 100 include Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ‘Em, Chase & Status and Stormzy’s Backbone, Jade Thirlwall’s Angel of my Dreams, Raye’s Genesis and Teddy Swims’ Lose Control.

In addition to these top songs, there were several artists from Radio 1’s prestigious ‘Sound of’ list, including last year’s winners The Last Dinner Party with Nothing Matters, as well as Olivia Dean’s Time and Elmiene’s Light Work.

The countdown also featured Myles Smith, BBC Introducing’s Artist of the Year 2024 with his breakthrough hit Stargazing.

While Sabrina claims the top spot with biggest song of the year, homegrown talent Charli XCX takes the crown for most appearances on the list with four.

And the countdown revealed a dominant presence of British talent, with British artists playing the majority of the 100 songs chosen.

Contributing to the top 100 songs were 54 acts from Great Britain, surpassing both the US with 43 acts and the remaining 17 acts from various parts of the world.

Espresso has over a billion streams on Spotify.

The song and its accompanying music video, directed by Dave Meyers, quickly became popular worldwide, reaching number one on the Billboard Global 200, becoming her first number one single.

Espresso was written by Sabrina, along with Amy Allen, Steph Jones and Julian Bunetta.

Billie Eillish came fourth with her hit single Birds Of A Feather

At number five were Chase & Status and Stormzy’s hit Backbone

Beyoncé’s single Texas hold ’em reached the top 10 and finished in ninth place overall

She also has another hit to her name: Please Please Please. The song is her second single from her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet.

Sabrina is currently on tour in support of the Short n’ Sweet album, which kicked off on September 23 in Columbus, Ohio.

Meanwhile, Chappell, who finished third in the top 10, is nominated for six Grammys, including Album of the Year for The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, Song and Record of the Year for Good Luck, Babe and Best New Artist, Best Pop Solo performance and best pop vocal album.
