Globally, Taylor Swift is Spotify's 2024 Global Top Artist for the second year in a row, followed by The Weekend (No. 2), Bad Bunny (No. 3), Drake (No. 4), and Billie Eilish (No. 5).
In the Philippines, passionate fan bases are pushing emerging Pinoy artists and homegrown genres to greater heights. RADAR artist Hev Abi leads the charge as this year's Spotify Wrapped Philippines' Top Local Artist, proving that Pinoy hip-hop is here to stay.

Reflecting on the recognition he has been receiving, Hev Abi shares, "'Di naman siya nakakagulat para sa akin — lahat naman siguro ng artist gusto maging leading in some way, somehow. Pero gusto ko rin isipin na hindi siya 'yung reason kung bakit nasasabi na ni-rerepresent ko 'yung new sound ng Pinoy hip-hop." Pinoy Spotify users proudly championed homegrown hits, with Spotify RADAR artists dominating the top spots of this year's Spotify Wrapped Philippines' Top Songs.
