Hello, music lovers of Charlotte and Asheville! The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived – Spotify Wrapped 2024 is here, and it’s time to dive into the world of streaming stats and musical favorites!
What’s All the Buzz About?
For those who might not know, Spotify Wrapped is that magical time of year when Spotify gives you a fun recap of your listening habits. You can find out how many minutes you spent jamming to your favorite artists, how your tastes compare to other fans, and what the most-streamed tracks of the year were. This year, they’ve even rolled out a global map showcasing the top five most-streamed songs from various cities around the world. While only twenty U.S. cities made the cut, our very own North Carolina shines brightly with Charlotte and Asheville gracing the list!
Diverse Beats in the Queen City
Let’s kick things off with our vibrant city of Charlotte! The most-streamed songs here reflect a delightful mix of genres, celebrating everything from country and pop to rap and alternative. Here are the top hits that had Charlotteans dancing all year long:
