Best songs of 2024

Pop went club and abrasive and spent a summer being the only thing anyone talked about. A rap feud played out in real time as the year's most-discussed music, which is not how anyone would have drawn it up. Country, separately, got its most ambitious crossover in decades.

Songs from the albums of 2024, ordered by their own ratings rather than the record's.

One great song, one bad album

Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
