Having said that, this set of predictions promises to keep our summer vibes alive.
A Broader Playlist with Big Names
Unlike last year, which saw a focus on mainstream Hip-Hop and Latino artists, 2024’s playlist embraces a more diverse musical landscape. Spotify has expanded its list to 30 tracks, up from 20, highlighting a significant inclusion of electronic dance music heavyweights. Among these, four standout names are turning heads: David Guetta, Kygo, Disclosure, and Marshmello.
Kygo and David Guetta Lead the Charge
Kicking off the list is Kygo with his smash hit ‘Whatever’ featuring Ava Max. This track has already amassed over 220 million streams, making it the most-played electronic dance music record on the playlist. Its infectious melody and catchy lyrics have made it a staple at summer parties and festivals worldwide. Right behind Kygo is David Guetta’s collaboration with OneRepublic, ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’. With its 110 million streams, this track blends Guetta’s signature beats with OneRepublic’s powerful vocals. With that being said, the tune creates an anthemic sound perfect for those sunny beach days.
Disclosure and Marshmello Round Out the Contenders
Disclosure is making waves with their latest track ‘She’s Gone, Dance On’. Since its release, the song has quickly gained popularity. Additionally, the duo recently performed it live at Parklife 2024, and its energetic beats have been a hit at festivals, propelling it as a strong contender for the summer anthem. Meanwhile, Marshmello’s collaboration with Kane Brown, ‘Miles On It’, continues to resonate with fans. This track marks Marshmello’s standout release of the year, blending his EDM style with Kane Brown’s country flair, making it a unique addition to this year’s summer playlist.
