Spotify Wrapped arrived just in time for the holiday cheer.
On Wednesday, the streaming service released its 2024 data, allowing music lovers to revisit their yearly listening habits.
Global superstar Taylor Swift reigned as the No. 1 top-streamed artist in the world once again. It was no surprise to Chicagoans, who crowned her the city’s top artist in 2023 and packed her three sold-out shows at Soldier Field.
Spotify added the inaugural Wrapped Badge to her artist profile to mark the honor.
But Swift wasn’t the only artist making waves in the windy city. Sabrina Carpenter’s ultra-caffeinated and platinum “Espresso” made Chicagoans bounce off the walls this year as the city’s — and world’s — top song.
Not far behind on the top songs list was Midwest princess Chappell Roan with her triple platinum “Good Luck Babe!” No shocker there as she was also a crowd favorite at Lollapalooza, packing her stage in August.
Here’s what else Chicagoans were listening to, according to Spotify:
