February 19Feb 19 Hi Riser Enjoyed 'Training Season', 'Birds Of A Feather', 'I Can Do It With A Broken Heart and '360' from your latest batch of five.
March 2Mar 2 Author 5. Dua Lipa "Illusion"I am slightly surprised to see Dua this high, matching where 'Houdini' placed in my EOY last year. 'Illusion' was so catchy and kept growing on me over time. With this song Dua broke the record for most #1s on my chart, becoming her seventh! I loved her 60 Minutes interview and her Live At The Royal Albert Hall TV special last year. She’s become an all-time fave and now I want to see her live – if only she had any tour dates even remotely close to me!Previous EOY history: "Be The One" (#3, 2017), "New Rules" (#4, 2017), "Electricity" (#30, 2018), "One Kiss" (#45, 2018), "Swan Song" (#23, 2019), "Don't Start Now" (#31, 2019), "Physical" (#7, 2020), "Levitating" (#24, 2020), "Hallucinate" (#33, 2020), "Cold Heart" (#7, 2021), "Love Again" (#10, 2020), "We're Good" (#21, 2021), "Houdini" (#5, 2023)4. Gigi Perez "Sailor Song"Let’s just say that on first listen, I wouldn’t have predicted 'Sailor Song' to be anywhere in this EOY, let alone the top 5. Everything about it was off-putting for some reason and it just seemed too slow to enjoy listening to. After about a month, the song suddenly clicked, and before I knew it I was an emotional wreck??? I love chart moments like this, when someone as unknown as Gigi writes a song with probably no aspirations whatsoever, and it ends up being a global smash and a #1.3. Teddy Swims "Bad Dreams"'Bad Dreams', on the other hand, was extremely instant for me, as the majority of Teddy’s songs are. As soon as I heard ukulele I was ready to hardcore stan. Sure enough, it became Teddy’s third #1 on my chart, the first of which was actually 'Face Myself' in 2023, before he was anywhere near a household name. That’s not an attempt to brag; it’s just been amazing to watch his success last year, and for him to get the acclaim he deserves!Previous EOY history: "Love For A Minute" (#31, 2022), "Face Myself" (#14, 2023)
March 11Mar 11 Author 2. Sabrina Carpenter "Espresso"I really tried not to like 'Espresso' this much. It was destined to be massive, so I preemptively tried to avoid getting sick of it and...failed miserably. If you couldn’t tell from my Sab Cab signature, I was mildly obsessed with 'Espresso', my song of the summer and then some. Even the production ripping off Doja Cat 'Say So' didn’t bother me. It couldn't get out of my head and I never really wanted it to anyway. And I don’t even drink espresso, or any coffee for that matter. An artist who has criminally underperformed for almost a decade is now one of the biggest names in music, and I’m so excited for Sabrina! Who will we belatedly turn into a superstar next?Previous EOY history: "Thumbs" (#24, 2017), "Why" (#25, 2017)1. Teddy Swims "The Door"As I hinted earlier, this is actually Teddy’s third consecutive year in my EOY, and certainly his biggest year yet with two of the top three! You’ll notice 'Lose Control' wasn’t anywhere to be found on this list (oops), but 'The Door' was an effortless return to form, cementing Teddy’s place as my new favorite artist. On top of that, this confirmed that he wouldn’t be a one-hit wonder, and it had a particularly great chart run in the UK! I’m so proud of Teddy for proving himself, reaching his potential, no longer being underrated, and proving that people still care about great vocals in 2024/2025. It was a pretty easy decision this year: 'The Door' was without a doubt my favorite song of 2024 Previous EOY history: "Love For A Minute" (#31, 2022), "Face Myself" (#14, 2023)That's all folks!
