Taylor Swift Dominates 2024 Music Charts and Streaming Records

The global superstar leads Germany’s album charts, sets streaming milestones, and highlights a year of growing female representation in music.

Taylor Swift's album 'The Tortured Poets Department' topped Germany’s 2024 album charts and made her the first solo artist to have three albums in the Top 10 of the yearly rankings.
Swift was the most-streamed artist globally in 2024, with 1.24 billion streams, and her album achieved nearly 300 million streams in Germany alone, earning platinum status.
The German single charts were led by Artemas' 'I Like The Way You Kiss Me,' while Ayliva and Apache 207's 'Wunder' and Benson Boone's 'Beautiful Things' rounded out the top three.
Female artists saw record representation in Germany's charts, with seven of the Top 10 albums and 29 singles in the Top 100 coming from women, marking a significant increase over previous years.
Notable chart stories included the resurgence of Natasha Bedingfield's 20-year-old hit 'Unwritten' and Peter Schilling's 'Major Tom' re-entering the Top 10 thanks to its use as a Euro 2024 anthem.
