NEW YORK (AP) — “Not Like Us,” but people sure like him: Kendrick Lamar's smash topped Apple Music’s global song chart in 2024 as the giant music streamer released year-end lists Tuesday and provided listeners with data on their own most listened-to tunes.
“Not Like Us" is Lamar’s first-ever No. 1 on the year-end global songs chart.
He's followed by Benson Boone's “Beautiful Things” in second. Sabrina Carpenter's “Espresso” follows in third, Shaboozey's “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” in fourth and Taylor Swift's “Cruel Summer” in fifth.
“Cruel Summer,” of course, is a cut from Swift's seventh studio album, “Lover,” released in 2019. It had a resurgence back in summer 2023.
