Rolling Stone 100 Best Songs of 2024

It’s the end of the year, so naturally, all the major publications have to put out their “Best Of” lists- some objecive, and some not so objective.

“Rolling Stone” -possibly the least objective of them all- has graced us with their list of  “The 100 Best Songs of 2024”, and here’s the Top 10:

 

1.  “Good Luck, Babe!”,  Chappell Roan:

I’m actually totally down with this being #1. I love this song, and a lot of what Chappell Roan is putting out. An extremely talented and unique artist, and I’m not going to argue “Roling Stone” on this one.

 

2.  “Not Like Us”,  Kendrick Lamar:

This song was HUGE this Summer, and 21-year-old me would have been all about it. 41-year-old me could take it or leave it.

 

3.  “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”,  Shaboozey:

This song was (and still is) EVERYWHERE in 2024. It’s catchy as hell. But, is it technically a good song? Nah. Just fun and one of those ear-worms that you can’t get out of your head. It’s also the biggest song of the year as far as chart performance goes, as it’s spent a whopping record-tying 19 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

My biggest complaint about this song is that it’s basically the Country version of J-Kwon’s “Tipsy” that was huge 20 years ago:

I’m also salty that this song is 20 years old.

Oooof.
4.  “Espresso”,  Sabrina Carpenter:

I flipping LOVE Sabrina Carpenter, and her songs are ridiculously fun and catchy, and I still crank this one up when I hear it on the radio. even though  have heard it eight million times this year.

Kudos to Sabrina for killing it in 2024.
5.  “Birds of a Feather”,  Billie Eilish:

I’m honestly not a huge Billie Eilish fan- I think she’s incredibly talented artist, but she’s not my style.

That being said, this is my favorite of hers, and I love that she’s showing off her gorgeous vocals on this song.

Also, she is incredibly gorgeous without trying.

 

 

6.  “Too Sweet”,  Hozier:

Hozier had a massive hit on his hands with “Too Sweet” this year, and it was his first ever #1 hit.

Kudos to him.
7.  “Nasty”,  Tinashe:

It’s a NO from me, dawg.

Again, college me would have had it on repeat on my Napster-burned CD.

Today me, not so much.

 

8.  “Pink Skies”,  Zach Bryan:

I’m going to be completely honest here… I don’t get the Zach Bryan obsession.

Is a good artist and writer? Yes. Does he have a great jawline? Also, yes.

But for me, he’s just emo-Country, and I just don’t vibe with it.

He’s got a few songs I like, but again, just not my cup of bourbon.
9.  “Girl, So Confusing (Remix)”,  Charli XCX featuring Lorde:

Real talk: I never heard this song before.

But I don’t hate it.

 

10.  “Right Back to It”,  Waxahatchee featuring MJ Lenderman:

Ok, again, I’m clearly not cool enough to be aware of every single song on this list, but I do love that one now.

So, thank you “Rolling Stone” for alerting me to it.

Who do you think they’re missing?

I’m wondering where Shania Twain “The Woman In Me” and Garth’s “Pieces” is… those surely deserve on the list?

Or maybe I’m just partial as those were some of my favorites growing up, and both albums had a bunch of radio hits.
