Posted January 17Jan 17 Hey everyone! 2024 was a big year for chart sales, and with a year end list that is increasingly made up of old songs, I fancied the arduous task of estimating the 100 biggest song RELEASES of 2024. It was difficult, but I enjoyed taking the time to try and find the best estimates I could possibly get, even if I had to go to very convoluted ways to get some of these chart sales. I wasn’t particularly interested in estimating sales for the songs that made the official year end list, so I’ve just copied Julian T’s sales estimates for those. The order of the remaining 41 songs were determined by pulling from sources alongside Julian T’s revealed sales estimates, and include music week figures, educated guesses and weekly chart positions, genre charts and comparing % change of streams on Spotify. There were 107 songs released in 2024 that achieved a silver certification by the end of the 2024 tracking year, which helped a lot. I’m way more certain of the sales estimates for some songs (e.g. APT.) over others (e.g. Angel of My Dreams). In particular, I'm not confident with a lot of the tracks that were only successful in the UK, not placed under any genre charts, or from The Tortured Poets Department (which have 13 songs on this list!). If you have any queries or think you have a more accurate sales figure than I have, please let me know. 1. 1,787,000 Beautiful Things – Benson Boone 2. 1,755,000 Espresso – Sabrina Carpenter 3. 1,466,000 Too Sweet - Hozier 4. 1,335,000 A Bar Song (Tipsy) – Shaboozey 5. 1,224,000 BIRDS OF A FEATHER – Billie Eilish 6. 1,206,000 Good Luck, Babe! – Chappell Roan 7. 1,146,000 Please Please Please – Sabrina Carpenter 8. 1,013,000 Stargazing – Myles Smith 9. 958,000 TEXAS HOLD ‘EM – Beyonce 10. 910,000 I Had Some Help – Post Malone & Morgan Wallen 11. 845,000 I like the way you kiss me – Artemas 12. 810,000 Fortnight – Taylor Swift & Post Malone 13. 807,000 Scared To Start – Michael Marcagi 14. 794,000 Taste – Sabrina Carpenter 15. 753,000 we can’t be friends – Ariana Grande 16. 740,000 Houdini – Eminem 17. 738,000 Belong Together – Mark Ambor 18. 684,000 MILLION DOLLAR BABY – Tommy Richman 19. 681,000 Slow It Down – Benson Boone 20. 655,000 Kisses – BL3SS, CamrinWatsin & bbyclose 21. 653,000 Alibi – Rudimental & Ella Henderson 22. 633,000 Die With A Smile – Bruno Mars & Lady Gaga 23. 632,000 I Can Do It With A Broken Heart – Taylor Swift 24. 622,000 Not Like Us – Kendrick Lamar 25. 607,000 yes, and?

January 17Jan 17 Great stuff, thanks Mode! "Gata Only" (the original solo version) was a December 2023 release though so Tom's Christmas song would just scrape in at 100 in its place if that counts Edited January 17Jan 17 by gasman449
January 17Jan 17 Author “iamspamspamamiStove” deserved more. ;) Laughed so hard when I saw that "K?tchen" was autocorrected to that :D
January 17Jan 17 I’d love to see a 2023 version of this to see Trustfall and Padam Padam make the top 100 where they belonged.
