We are halfway through 2024 and have witnessed the return of several pop stars in these first six months. Opening the line of comebacks was Shakira with “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” her first full-length album in seven years. The album was preceded by nine singles, including the viral hit “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” and the Latin Grammy-winning song “TQG.” On the release date, “Puntería” featuring Cardi B was launched as the eighth official single. The album has been acclaimed by critics and fans alike.
Ariana Grande also made her long-awaited return with “Eternal Sunshine,” her first musical offering since the 2020 album “Positions.” The LP instantly became a fan favorite, with many praising Ariana’s vocals and the album’s consistency. The three singles from the album—“Yes, And?”, “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love),” and “The Boy Is Mine”—have amassed millions of streams.
Three years after “Happier Than Ever,” Billie Eilish released her third studio album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft.” Hailed as one of the best albums of 2024 so far, the record is gathering millions of streams daily, mainly thanks to the tracks “Lunch” and “Birds of a Feather.”
Taylor Swift remains a dominant force. Despite her commitment to the Eras Tour, she found time to write and record thirty new songs. The result is the gem “The Tortured Poets Department,” released over two months ago and still dominating charts and streaming platforms.
This year also saw the rise of new talents like Tyla and Benson Boone. The South African singer is making waves with her self-titled debut album, featuring the viral hit “Water” and guest appearances from artists like Gunna and Becky G. Similarly, Benson Boone is experiencing rising success thanks to his viral hit “Beautiful Things.” This song was followed by his debut album “Fireworks & Rollerblades,” which entered the top 10 in several countries.
