2024 was so last year but it was a very demure, very cutesy and very mindful year for pop music!
Happy new year to you….and TO YOU! Music has been embedded in my life ever since I was in the womb, my Mum and Dad basically raised me on music, especially POP music! I grew up listening to Madonna, Mariah Carey, Kylie Minogue, Spice Girls, Britney Spears and even AQUA and I’ve always been obsessed with pop culture and Eurovison! I love sharing my favourite songs and album every month with the world from Scene HQ!
Sabrina Carpenter made history in 2024 with song of the summer Espresso which was number 1 on the UK official charts for seven non-consecutive weeks.
Charli xcx gave us a Brat summer and celebrated her first ever UK number to single as a lead artist.
All 5 members of the Spice Girls reunited for Victoria Beckham‘s 50th birthday party!
Beyoncé became the first black artist ever to take a country album (COWBOY CARTER) (not even Dolly Parton has a number 1 country album in the UK omg) to number 1 in the UK and also the first artist ever to achieve a UK official chart double with a country album and country single! (TEXAS HOLD ‘EM). Queen Bey followed Shania Twain‘s footsteps who was the first female country artist to bag a UK number 1 album when Come On Over topped the official albums chart in 1999.
Madonna brought Kylie on stage for an epic Celebration Tour performance-and it was International Women’s Day!
Honestly 2024 was that girl.
It’s been super hard to pick my favourite songs from 2024 because there were too many but I’ve tried my best so bare with, Spotify Wrapped did help though YAY!

Sabrina Carpenter – Espresso
US singer and actor Sabrina Carpenter dominated 2024 after Espresso received widespread acclaim from critics and became a commercial breakthrough hit and spent five consecutive weeks at the top of the official singles chart then returned to the top of the chart again for a further two weeks, replacing her own song Please Please Please (from her sixth studio album Short n’ Sweet-which went to number 1 too obvs on the official album chart) from the summit where it stayed for two consecutive weeks and became just the second female artist ever to replace themselves at number one after Ariana Grande, and then Espresso was dethroned from the top of the charts by Please Please Please omg.
Espresso was named the UK’s song of the summer 2024 by Official Charts!
Oh oh and fun fact: Sabrina opened for Taylor Swift on her The Eras Tour before her caffeinated success and I predicted Sabrina is pop’s next best thing HERE see!
Ariana Grande – yes, and?
It’s almost hard to remember life before the smash-hit musical movie Wicked but Ariana dropped this banger back on the 12th January 2024, the same year as Wicked, which is wild to me! Ari was definitely paying tribute to Madonna‘s Vogue but also Paula Abdul‘s Cold Hearted video too….slay.
In both videos, Paula and Ari are dancing in a room full of dancers and for Ari the dancers seem to be a nod to her critics and for Paula the dancers represented judgemental record label executives. Paula noticed too and posted on the gram saying “WOW! Waking up to see @arianagrande pay homage to ‘Cold Hearted’ in her new music video ‘yes, and?’ was EVERYTHING!!! What an honor! What was your favorite part of the video? I love you, Ari!!! XoP.” Oh and don’t forget about the remix with Mariah Carey too which dropped February last year which slapped!
Katy Perry – LIFETIMES
I’m not a happy bunny that everyone slept on this summer banger. Katy Perry dropped this shimmering, high-octane reflection on the infinity of love in August 2024 which should’ve been a number 1 global smash IMPO! LIFETIMES was my top song on my Spotify Wrapped in fact and I was in the top 0.0005% of listeners worldwide.
Katy said “LIFETIMES is a song about eternal love,” and “It’s about finding that one deep and satisfying love of your life. A soulmate doesn’t always have to come in the form of a partner – it can come in all different ways, a child, a best friend, a pet. For me it is my daughter – I ask her every night, ‘Will you find me in every lifetime?’ She says yes, and I feel found. You’ll find each other, over and over again, for lifetimes.” naww, and it’s a bop! Btw the video was shot in Ibiza baby!
Chappell Roan – Good Luck, Babe!
Wowowow Queer hero Chappell Roan unveiled Good Luck, Babe! and took over the world in 2024 with this electrifying track transcends the ordinary with a blend of nostalgic 80’s synth-pop and balladier vocals. With raw vulnerability, Chappell bares her emotions, belting out an empowering anthem that explores leaving behind a romantic relationship and exploring authentic love and self-acceptance.
Chappell said “I needed to write a song about a common situationship within queer relationships — where someone is struggling with coming to terms with themselves. It’s a song about wishing well to someone who is avoidant of their true feelings”. Relatable!
Like I said above, Chappell Roan took over the world in 2024 and I predicted she would back in May 2024 HERE hehehe. I’m still obsessed with her performance at the MTV VMAs 2024 btw, it was, well, a femininomenon.
Olly Alexander – Dizzy
Olly Alexander aka Years & Years represented the UK in Malmö, Sweden for Eurovision 2024 and even though we didn’t get the result we all hoped for, I still love Olly and I still love Dizzy and it was my third most played song on Spotify Wrapped in 2024!
Dizzy has a synth-y Hi-NRG beat, combined with Olly’s emotive vocals creates an irresistible and exciting energy and it was perfect for Eurovision, Olly was perfect for Eurovision too and a long time fan of the contest himself. Olly said “It goes right back to being a kid and watching the show with my family – ordering pizza and spending all night in front of the TV watching this insane, amazing show. It’s a bit like a spiritual homecoming for me because I love Eurovision so much.”
Dizzy is taken from Olly’s upcoming album Polari which is out next month and it’s his first album under his own name. Olly said “I probably first heard the word Polari about fifteen years ago when I was a newly out homosexual, I knew it was some kind of ‘lost gay language’ but I didn’t take too much interest in gay history back then, looking to the past felt difficult. Polari was a gay relic that I put alongside hanky codes, secret handshakes and Edna Everage. Ten years later I would play Ritchie in It’s A Sin and get to grapple with my gay identity in a way that totally transformed my life. I loved learning about queer history so much, it gave me a new way to understand myself. Now after more than a decade of releasing music as Years & Years, I’m about to release my first album under my own name. I asked myself… what is an Olly Alexander album? If I wanted to distil the purest essence of whatever it is inside of me, I needed to try something new.”
Polari is out on the 7th February and Olly’s going on tour too, get tickets HERE.
JADE – Angel Of My Dreams
JADE aka Jade Thirlwall from Little Mix was the final Little Mix girlie to release solo music and I’d say it was more than worth the wait. Angel Of My Dreams is a frenetically shapeshifting, gloriously OTT pop banger that explores her love/hate relationship with the music industry.
Jade said “I didn’t want to do a safe first single, that was really important to me,” and “I’m setting the tone of who I am as an artist on my own. I want people to hear it and be like ‘what the fuck is that song?’. My worst nightmare is for someone to hear my song and go ‘that’s nice’.”
Built around a cheeky, knowing sample of Sandie Shaw’s 1967 Eurovision hit Puppet on a String, lyrically Jade wanted to reflect on her time in an industry that has brought her highs and lows. “It’s about how obsessed I am with the industry – so there are lyrics like “love when you call me a star” – but also there’s the dark side that comes with that. It’s not as glam as it seems.” The sample, which Jade had wanted to use in a song for years was chosen very specifically. “In the beginning of our career you do think you are this puppet, but at the same time it isn’t true – we wrote a lot of our songs, and we were behind a lot of what we put out there. I resented that as a statement. So it felt natural to take that and show that it can be true and untrue at the same time.”
Beyoncé – TEXAS HOLD ‘EM
Beyoncé’s latest musical venture took an unexpected turn in 2024 as she dived into the world of country music! I was so excited when she dropped TEXAS HOLD ‘EM (and 16 CARRIAGES) because after Daddy Issues and her performance with The Chicks I was secretly hoping she’d enter her country era one day!
Queen Bey invites us to a dusty dance floor where banjos twang and line-dancing commands echo. The track exudes a playful energy, punctuated by enthusiastic “woo hoo!” exclamations that might as well be “yee haw!” I personally don’t think Beyoncé’s foray into country music is just a detour or a Grammy-grabbing move, her mum (Tina Knowles) posted on the gram too saying Beyoncé has celebrated cowboy culture since childhood. “We also always understood that it was not just about it belonging to white culture only. In Texas there is a huge black cowboy culture.” Cowboy Carter was definitely a contender for AOTY for me btw.
Oh and did you catch her spectacular NFL Christmas Day halftime show aka Beyoncé Bowl on Netflix after the Gavin & Stacey finale?! And and and immediately after Bey posted a teaser video on social media for something happening on the 14th January!

Act III or visuals or a tour?! I’ve got my credit card ready.
Dua Lipa – Training Season
Dula Peep delivered a sleek and dancefloor-ready track with Training Season (as usual), she never disappoints.
Dua said “I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the final straw,” and “The next morning I arrived to the studio to [cowriters] Caroline and Tobias asking me how it all went and I immediately declared ‘TRAINING SEASON IS OVER,’ and like the best ‘day after’ debriefs with your mates, we had a lot of laughs and it all quickly came together from there.” and “while it is obviously about that feeling when you are just absolutely done telling people…men specifically in this case, how to date you right; it is also about my training season being over and me growing with every experience. I have never felt more confident, clear or empowered. And while it may be that training season is never over for any of us, you start to see the beauty in finding that person to experience it with. You stop looking for the trainees and become more interested in having someone where you are and someone to grow with.” nawww.
Btw this song is a sly, irresistible wink for fans who notice the ABBA references!
Delta Goodrem – Hearts On The Run
Another Aussie pop icon and one of my faves, Delta Goodrem returned to planet pop in 2024 with Hearts on the Run. This 80’s-inspired uptempo banger is a testament to Delta’s versatility and vocal prowess and transports you to the neon-lit dancefloors of the 80’s. With funky guitar licks and infectious beats, the song invites you to groove and you can’t help but smile.
Hearts on the Run made waves in the pop world and feels nostalgic and refreshing at the same time. Basically this song will keep your heart racing!
Tate McRae – It’s ok I’m ok
Last year Multi-platinum pop girlie Tate McRae dropped It’s ok I’m ok featuring an irresistible chorus alongside the Britney Spears inspired official music video accompanied by a killer dance visual, marking a new chapter for the star.
Tate said “I’m so beyond excited to share “It’s ok I’m ok” with the world and this new chapter of my music. This song is a byproduct of reflecting back on past relationships to now and how much I’ve grown and learned from them. It’s a playful take on knowing your worth and the all too relatable feeling of never wanting someone back.”
I still reckon we need to start calling her Ate McRae because she’s constantly eating.
The Weeknd, Playboi Carti and Madonna – Popular
The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, and the Queen of Pop aka Madonna dropped this song in the summer of 2023 then the official music video dropped in 2024!
Popular is such a bop and it’s a part of the soundtrack for HBO’s series The Idol (which I still need to watch despite the bad reviews eeeep).
The chorus and hook of Popular are super catchy. Abel‘s (The Weeknd) signature vocals blend seamlessly with the beat, creating an infectious rhythm. Madonna adds her flair to the mix and Playboi Carti’s contribution raises eyebrows. His verses feel experimental, I think some listeners might find it intriguing, while others might scratch their heads and maybe hate it! Hate’s a strong word though.
Also fun fact: Madonna made chart history again (proving again why she’s the Queen of Pop), Popular entered the official UK top 10 charts making this Madonna’s first new top 10 hit in 15 years. The last time she was in the top 10 was back in 2009 with Celebration which climbed to number 3!
Abel is such a Madonna fan and said “I’ve always wanted to work with her,” and “I’ve always wanted to write and produce a Madonna album… Well, co-produce with her, of course. She’s a visionary and she has such a singular vision. And I just want to come into her world and create a classic Madonna album. That was always my dream. Hopefully this is the appetizer for that.” Welllll Madonna revealed recently that she’s back in the studio with Stuart Price and has music ready for 2025-let’s go!
Faouzia – ICE
Super talented singer-songwriter Faouzia is honestly an artist to watch. Her voice is just euphonious, if you’ve not heard of her yet, you’re welcome.
“I wrote this song during a period of my life where I felt extremely jaded and numb. After feeling every emotion so strongly my entire life, I was hit with this cold feeling that enveloped my mind and I was afraid I would never be able to escape it. After all the tears spilt, it felt like one day they just … stopped. With no end in sight, I found comfort and familiarity in this hollowness and found inspiration for my new song ICE. Using classical and dark melodies I love so much, the song just came pouring out.” Faouzia will be one of the main pop girlies in no time at all.
Jacqline – Effortless
Jacqline made her debut at Melodifestivalen last year and Effortless was written by Cazzi Opeia (a Melodifestivalen legend)! Jacqline performed this infectious track effortlessly.
POP PERFECTION. She was robbed too after being the favourite to represent Sweden but I reckon she’ll be back this year (I hope).
FKA twigs – Eusexua
Twigs said Eusexua is “that feeling of when you’ve been out all night and you lose 7 hours to music, and you look at your phone and you think, “Oh, my gosh, it’s 8:00 in the morning.” And last time you looked, it was 1:00. It’s because you’ve been in a state of eusexua. It’s also if you meet somebody that you really like, and you just kiss all night and you kiss for all hours. You lose time. It’s like your bodies become one and you’re just like an amoeba. And it’s like this kind of meditative, like, amazing physical experience. For me, it’s also the moment before I get a really good idea of pure clarity. Like, when everything moves out the way, everything in your mind is completely blank and your mind is elevated. That’s eusexua and that is the only place I want to be now.”
Hopefully Eusexua will be added to the dictionary! I’d love a word I invented to be added to the dictionary and like Gemma Collins famously said, “I’m a massive fan of the dictionary” too, and Eusexua. Eusexua is taken from Twigs upcoming third album with the same name and will be out at the end of this month-24th January!
Swedish House Mafia, Alicia Keys – Finally
Finally dropped in 2024 (after teasing the track for nearly two years omg) and it was worth the wait. Swedish House Mafia and Alicia Keys joined forces and Alicia’s powerful vocals complement the music perfectly, adding a layer of emotion and depth to the song.
The collab marks the first time the two acts have come together on record and it’s actually a rework of Kings Of Tomorrow‘s 2000 house classic of the same name. It’s such a banger though, perfect for the gym or pre drinkles.
Rebecca Black – TRUST!
The one and only Ms Rebecca Black dropped her most bold and confident pop anthem yet IMPO that showcases her growth as an artist. TRUST! has an infectious beat, catchy melody, and powerful vocals that create an irresistible combo. The Friday star has come a long way since erm Friday, more than a decade ago!
The lyrics on TRUST! explore themes of self-empowerment and trust (obvs), resonating with listeners who are seeking to break free from negativity. TRUST! is a refreshing and empowering track that solidifies Rebecca’s position as a rising star in the pop music scene, I’m definitely ready for what comes next.
Natasha Hamilton – Edge Of Us
OMG this was a comeback that we didn’t know we needed! After a 16 year break, Natasha Hamilton from platinum selling Atomic Kitten dropped her solo debut Edge of Us and her voice sounds so good-it really does. I’m kinda obsessed.
Natasha’s powerful vocals resonate as an anthem of resilience, encouraging listeners to find their inner strength and make bold choices. She sings about overcoming tough times and celebrating the courage to say enough is enough, and basically dump your partner if you’re not being treated how you should be treated!
Natasha said: “Edge of Us marks a thrilling homage to the torturous feelings that haunt you when it comes to the end of a relationship. It delves into the depths of all emotions and feelings, yet ultimately celebrates the courage to say “enough” and walk away from what no longer aligns with you. This song resonates as a powerful anthem of resilience, inspiring people to embrace their inner strength and make bold, transformative choices.” YASSS, we’ve all been there and sometimes we just need a push.
Edge of Us is an iconic step for Tash, and it’s great to see her smashing it as a soloist!
Quavo, Lana Del Rey – Tough
American queen Lana Del Rey dropped highly anticipated collab with Quavo from Migos and it’s giving country marries trap. Tough really is like the best parts of all of her albums mixed into one so it’s a great time to be a Lana stan. My soul leaves my body when their voices hit harmony.
Lana said last year at a pre-Grammys event that her upcoming tenth studio album will be country inspired and named Lasso so I think Tough is a tiny taster of that. Hopefully! I’m too excited for Lana’s country era hehefekkdkewmvfsbvdfmfdbfsbdfmbsd.
Eminem – Houdini
Guess who’s back? Back again?
Eminem obvs, with Houdini, and fun fact: Houdini is produced by Eminem himself and features a sample and interpolation of Steve Miller Band’s 1982 hit, Abracadabra (oh that was 2 fun facts soz). Before he dropped it, Eminem teased the bop on social media in a FaceTime with David Blaine – the clip ended with the magician eating a wine glass (lol) and Em declaring, “Well, for my last trick, I’m gonna make my career disappear.”
Houdini was the first single from Eminem’s 12th album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) which came out on my birthday (12th July)-#JustSayen and his first album since 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By. The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) became Eminem’s 11th number 1 album in the UK and fun fact: made history by pulling level with David Bowie and U2 who also have 11 chart-topping albums apiece, deserved!
Prince Joshua – LET THEM EAT CAKE
Last summer for his 27th birthday, Joshua Montoya aka Prince Joshua dropped his third single (and my personal fave so far) called LET THEM EAT CAKE. It’s a bop tbh. Joshua said “I wanted to make a song that all queer people in the LGBTQIA+ community can feel empowered by while having fun and shaking their ass. My music is for those who want to live life unapologetically themselves, know they’re a bad bitch, and get right back up every time they get knocked down.” and “This is my first solo single about letting guys eat a delicious treat.”
Prince Joshua dropped his debut full EP 2nd today, yep on New Year’s Day! CROWNED features queer artists Big Dream and Bama Babii! Joshua said “I am dropping a music video with my EP to the song BAR-KING where I feature some of LA’s pup community. The song is about men “cat calling” or as I say “barking” at me. I wrote this song from my experiences with street and online harassment from being fawned and gawked at to being called derogatory names. The song and especially the music video shine a light on these experiences by masking unwanted comments with barking.”
Check out my interview with Prince Joshua last year HERE.
Kesha – JOYRIDE
Ke dollar sign ha (only animals will know) is finally in her independence era. JOYRIDE is an absolute bop, which she released on the 4th July (Independence Day in America) and also, her first release since parting ways with Dr. Luke‘s record label, also it’s her first release via her own label Kesha Records-exciting times!
Kesha said “I’m really excited for Kesha Records to expand and grow in all the ways that people would think, but also in unexpected ways because I’m currently looking into the tech space and I’m looking to find partners who have the values that I align with. So, in addition to the traditional record label model, I’m also looking to the future and I’m looking for some really creative, boundary-pushing, innovative tech creators that want to change how the music business works and bring a new level of transparency to the whole business.” MOTHER!
Back to JOYRIDE, it’s definitely the most Kesha-sounding song she’s made in so long and omg….can you imagine a lip sync for your life to this?! OMG.
Tom Aspaul – Cabin Fever
Cabin Fever is the first single from Tom Aspaul‘s third upcoming album, also called Cabin Fever, distributed via Downtown Artist & Label Services and set for release in the spring/summer. The record is inspired by an uneasy and revealing acid trip, which took place in a small cabin on an isolated island in the middle of the Stockholm archipelago during Midsommar weekend. Each song acts as a vignette throughout the day as the LSD takes hold, reality unravels and lines become blurred. The single opens the album and lyrically juxtaposes Swedish sauna bathing rituals with late night trips to a gay men’s bathhouse. It’s a song about lust, confusion and carnality-I’m getting Liberty X Doin’ It vibes?!
Sonically the record is a much more organic and moody direction for Tom, with influences from Tango In The Night-era Fleetwood Mac, late-stage ABBA, William Orbit, Tame Impala and darker 70s funk with psychedelic overtones. The album is co-written and co-produced by frequent collaborator Gil Lewis.
Tom said “I would never recommend hallucinogens to a friend because that day in Sweden was an absolute nightmare. We got through it together and it spawned an amazing album, so it’s not all bad! Over the last 12 months, I’ve been reliving every second of it with Gil Lewis and I’m so thrilled (and relieved) to finally share this crazy experience with everyone. The song really sets the tone for the rest of the album, you’re never quite sure where the narrative voice is coming from, am I tripping? Am I reminiscing? Or am I actually inside a gay sauna? I want to keep the listeners guessing. It’s a different direction for sure, but I sit so comfortably in this psychedelic, dark, trippy and (dare I say it) funky new lane.”
Vanessa Williams – Legs (Keep Dancing)
Wilhelmina Slater oops I mean Vanessa Williams, the legendary star of stage, screen, and the music scene (ooooh that rhymed) casually made a comeback in 2024 with new music at 61 years old, her last song was in 2009-15 years ago so this is wayyyy overdue.
Vanessa said “What a joy it is to be making new music behind the mike again with old friends,” and “There’s a certain comfort in creating new works in the studio while reminiscing about how so many years in this business have brought successes, excitement, and lasting memories. Always moving forward is what drives me. Every challenge is exciting. And more new music to share with my fans is the fuel that lights my fire.”
Nessa released her ninth studio album, Survivor last year too, which features Legs and it’s her first album since 2009.
Also, she released it independently and said “I had been in talks with a few labels on the record side and a lot of labels have disappeared, disintegrated. Everyone is consolidating, not very many people are getting signed…before COVID, I went into the studio and said, ‘You know what? I’m going to pay for it myself and just start recording. I want to do songs that matter to me for my life.’”
The album is amazing btw and I still can’t get over that I saw Vanessa Williams in real life on stage for The Devil Wears Prada musical. Check out my review HERE.
Charli xcx, Billie Eilish – Guess
2024 was such an epic year for Charli xcx. Brat was everywhere, and Charli teamed up with long-time friend Billie Eilish for the Guess remix.
The iconic duo both appear in the official music video directed by Aidan Zamiri. All bras and underwear used in the music video have been donated to I Support The Girls. ISTG are a non non-profit organisation that collects and distributes essential items, including bras, underwear, and menstrual hygiene products, allowing people experiencing homelessness, impoverishment, or distress to stand tall with dignity.
Guess gave Charli her second ever UK number 1 single and her first as a lead artist-so deserved and way overdue! She should’ve had a million number 1’s by now. Her first number 1 was back in 2012 as a feature on Icona Pop‘s I Love It (a classic).
Kylie Minogue – Lights Camera Action
Lights Camera Action was the first single taken from high octane Tension II, and captures the carefree spirit of the nightclub and continues the euphoric, electronic sound of Kylie Minogue‘s previous album Tension. Produced by Lewis Thompson and written by Kylie, Thompson and Ina Wroldsen – who co-wrote smash hit single Padam Padam – the high energy club-inspired track is the perfect follow up to recent dance hit and Ibiza favorite Edge of Saturday Night with The Blessed Madonna.
The stunning video, directed by Sophie Muller and shot in Budapest, sees Kylie assuming multiple roles in several ultra iconic guises. From photographer to film star Kylie is in front of the camera and behind it in this instant classic. My favourite lyrics are “I look stellar tonight, my armour is by (Jean Paul) Gaultier” ICONIC!
Lady Gaga – Disease
Mother Monster began her LG7 era with new dark pop just in time for spooky season too (just before Halloween she dropped this banger). Disease is a reminder of why Lady Gaga is one of the most exciting and influential pop stars of her generation and follows on from Harlequin, a companion album to her new film Joker: Folie à Deux which I STILL need to see!
Disease evokes the raw energy of The Fame Monster and Born This Way and came out just in time for Halloween (Gaga know’s what she’s doing) and is written and produced by the singer alongside Andrew Watt and Cirkut, with Gaga’s fiancé Michael Polansky also listed as a co-writer.
Gaga posted about Disease on her socials saying “I think a lot about the relationship I have with my own inner demons. It’s never been easy for me to face how I get seduced by chaos and turmoil. It makes me feel claustrophobic. Disease is about facing that fear, facing myself and my inner darkness, and realizing that sometimes I can’t win or escape the parts of myself that scare me. That I can try and run from them but they are still part of me and I can run and run but eventually I’ll meet that part of myself again, even if only for a moment.” and “Dancing, morphing, running, purging. Again and again, back with myself. This integration is ultimately beautiful to me because it’s mine and I’ve learned to handle it. I am the conductor of my own symphony. I am every actor in the plays that are my art and my life. No matter how scary the question, the answers are inside of me. Essential, inextricable parts of what makes me me. I save myself by keeping going. I am the whole me, I am strong, and I am up for the challenge. Happy Halloween.”
