Trend:
“Rush”
Troye Sivan may have gotten his start during the vlogging invasion of the 2010s, but the former YouTube star has come a long way. Sivan made waves this year with his newest album, Something To Give Each Other, an energetic celebration of queer experiences. The lead single, “Rush” (a cheeky nod to the poppers brand of the same name) feels as though it was made to dance to, and its viral music video reflects that.
The infectious dance moves, choreographed by Sergio Reis, feel fresh and bold, so it’s no surprise that many TikTokers soon recreated them. While users of the app may have once associated “#rushtok” with the viral videos from sorority recruitment, the platform soon became flooded with posts featuring the Australian pop star’s song and moves. Though Sivan did receive some heat over the perceived lack of body diversity among the music video’s cast, it didn’t stop it from receiving over 25 million views. One thing is clear: fans are feeling the rush!
Trend:
“Water”
South African singer Tyla dropped her afropop single “Water” in late July of this year, featuring distinctly soft harmonies and lyrics about the sensation of pleasure. But, it’s the global record’s amapiano rhythm that spawned a viral dance trend on TikTok known as the “Water” dance challenge where users recreate her splashy choreography — bottle of water, included. The captivating dance was created by South African choreographer Lee-ché Janecke, and the Bacardi-style moves took the app by storm. There are over 1.5 million posts to date created using “Water,” and the song also earned Tyla a Grammy nomination for Best African Music Performance. The last few years have seen a huge boom in the global success of artists and genres from Africa, from Afrobeats to amapiano, and it’s clear audiences are ready to listen — and dance — to more!
Trend:
“Need 2”
There’s nothing about Pinegrove’s 2014 song “Need 2” that screams TikTok virality. And after the New Jersey indie rock band announced their hiatus in April of 2023, the folksy song seemed destined to be nothing more than a deep cut. But, on June 8, TikTok user @garrettlee39 posted a video of himself dancing to a snippet of the song in what appears to be a suburban front yard. Unlike the hyper-choreographed dances that populate TikTok, Lee’s “Need 2” moves are more free and loose-limbed: his arms flap across his body like heavy wings while his legs do a kind of two-step skip and hop. Lee looks like he could burst into tears at any moment.
Within 48 hours, other TikTok users had started posting their own interpretations and less than a week after Lee’s initial video, enough people had participated in the #pinegroveshuffle that one TikTok user even created an unusually wholesome compilation. Within a month, “Need 2” has been featured in over 77k TikTok videos, over a 1000% increase from the 6.5k TikToks that had existed before Lee’s viral dance was posted.
Trend:
Cutecore Rap
In a world where hip-hop’s dominance appears to be shrinking, there’s something to be said about the subcultures keeping it afloat (cough it’s the girlies cough cough). All-pink and ultra-femme, the persona of the cutecore aesthetic (and the rappers who champion it) is overtly girly and chronically online. Its light-bass production and cheerful — albeit bold — lyrics reflect Gen Z’s ability to simply not care about what others may think. Keep in mind, this comes after decades of misogynistic battles and barriers endured by female hip-hop artists and rappers in the male-dominated industry. For what feels like the first time, women in rap can break free of the genre’s tendency to depict women through the hypersexualized male gaze. They are now able to portray their femininity as they please, which for these artists, means embracing all that is cute.
One of the scene’s biggest breakouts, Ice Spice, has climbed from local fanfare to the mainstream. After joining PinkPantheress on “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2,” the single quickly became an anthem for the TikTok cutecore scene. She also joined Nicki Minaj for a remix of her original track “Princess Diana” — a collaboration that felt like a passing of the torch between two generations of rap fans. Speaking of the OG Barb, Minaj would go on to close out 2023 with her long-awaited Pink Friday 2, which, as the name would imply, was promoted with very pink visuals. Scoring an immediate No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200, several tracks have already gone on to become TikTok-fueled earworms.
Along with other big names in the cutecore aesthetic, including Houston’s Manaleo and New Jersey’s Coi Leray, these female rappers are creating their own Barbie dreamworld — specifically, one where women can equally dominate the music industry.
Trend:
Eurodance
From films on Michael Jordan’s sneakers to the revival of Frasier, 2023 went in hard on the pop culture of the 1990s. And that extends to the dancefloor, where the electronic sounds of Eurodance, the decade’s most derided genre, have once again got us waving our hands in the air like we just don’t care.
Take David Guetta, for example, who has enjoyed a Billboard chart resurgence by borrowing from a bona fide classic. His 2022 Bebe Rexha collab “I’m Good (Blue)” became his joint-biggest hit to date and nabbed him a Grammy nomination back in January after the TikTok crowd discovered his tribute to Eiffel 65’s 1998 track “Blue (Da Ba Dee).” The Frenchman, never one afraid of repeating a trick or two, is also now enjoying success with “Baby Don’t Hurt Me,” an Anne-Marie and Coi Leray team-up borrowing from Haddaway’s Eurodance classic “What Is Love.”
Beyond the obvious (aka Aqua’s “Barbie Girl”), this year has seen hit samplings of Robert Miles’ comedown classic “Children” (Switch Disco and Ella Henderson’s “React”) and Strike’s handbag house anthem “U Sure Do” (Borai and Denham Audio’s “Make Me”). South Korean DJ Peggy Gou achieved her mainstream breakthrough with “(It Goes Like) Nanana,” using the same pitched-up guitar sound that made ATB’s “9 PM (Till I Come)” the perfect pre-millennial floor filler.
One of the Eurodance anthems that’s gained the most viral traction this year isn’t an established classic or sample-heavy anthem, but a pitch-perfect parody. The brainchild of comedian Kyle Gordon, “Planet of the Bass” has taken on a life of its own since dropping in July, accruing tens of millions of views on TikTok and Twitter in the process.
Trend:
“Sad Girl Indie”
Look at the listening history of any teenage girl in their twenties, and chances are, you’ll see playlists with names like “sad girl starter pack” and “Sad Indie” that heavily feature artists like Mitski and boygenius (the supergroup comprised of indie darlings Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker). Though this is nothing new — just look at the Lilith Fair lineup back in the 90s — the last few years have seen a huge boom in this niche genre of “sad girl indie,” largely dominated by queer female artists and fans. This has been largely attributed to TikTok, where listeners eagerly discuss their favorite artists and emotional lyrics while turning tracks, like Lizzy McAlpine’s “ceilings,” into viral successes. There’s also no shortage of posts from aspiring songwriters trying to get noticed, posting song demos with captions along the lines of “if you like Phoebe/Mitski/Clairo you’ll love this.”
The name is a bit controversial. Fans and artists alike critique the term, saying it overlooks the complex themes of these songs by putting them under a constricting label of “sad,” while Lucy Dacus herself said it causes the “classification and commodification and perpetual expectation of women’s pain.” Still, the genre continues to grow in popularity, and festivals like All Things Go are catering to this new niche audience of listeners.
Trend:
“Make Your Own Kind of Music”
Cass Elliot’s 1969 positive message song “Make Your Own Kind of Music” was popular in its heyday, but eventually slipped into the shadows. However, it has had a resurgence in recent years after a series of movie and television syncs (in everything from Lost to Sex Education to the main trailer for the Barbie movie). It wasn’t until 2023, however, that the song became a viral smash — weirdly enough due to a meme featuring Nicholas Cage and Pedro Pascal that inserted the tune over a scene from their 2022 movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Since then, it’s been used in nearly 90k TikTok posts that include variants of the meme, wholesome videos about people’s pets, tales of personal escapades, and even parodied on SNL.
Trend:
“Linger”
Gen Z were letting it linger this year, after they rediscovered the classic 1993 track “Linger” by Irish rock band the Cranberries. The timing is almost eerily coincidental — 2023 marks both the 30th anniversary of the band’s debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?, and the fifth anniversary of the death of lead singer Dolores O'Riordan. The sound became popular on the platform in late March after being associated with a funny dancing filter, and only continued to surge in use since. Over 100k posts have been made featuring the song, most commonly with absurdist content about life’s struggles and memes about what it means to let it linger.
Trend:
“Barbie Girl”
Just in time for this summer’s Eurodance revival, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie was released, bringing everyone back to the Barbie dreamhouse. The movie featured the song “Barbie World” by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice, which samples Aqua’s iconic ‘90s anthem “Barbie Girl.” Both songs were hugely popular online, which makes sense: between the Eras Tour and the Barbie movie, the cultural zeitgeist was firmly centered on girlhood. The poppy nostalgia of the Aqua original and the energy and catchy beats of the updated track were perfect soundtracks for a summer defined by embracing femininity, and millions of TikToks (which heavily featured the color pink) were made to the platform using various uploads of these songs.

From Afrobeats to Latin pop, artists are exploring and creating all different kinds of sounds, so what is popular and trending is constantly changing. Yet, in terms of volume, hip-hop/rap artists are the biggest presence in music, followed by pop, dance, and electronic artists.
A similar pattern follows for tracks, whose all-time most dominant genres are hip-hop/rap, rock, and pop. That being said, electronic, dance, and alternative music all took spots in the top 5 for the most common genres among 2023 track releases.

Genre Breakdown
of spotify's top 100
Though 39% of Spotify’s top artists in 2023 are pop musicians, only 24% of the most streamed songs were also pop. Interestingly, 11 of the top 100 artists only made the list because of a single holiday song that was streamed so frequently over the winter season that their Spotify monthly listeners skyrocketed. What stands out the most, however, is the success of Latin music: despite the genre seeing fewer releases and artists, it was the second most common genre within the top tracks of 2023.

Streaming & Radio
It’s time to hone in on the platforms and spaces where folks are consuming their music. From internet radio to on-demand streaming, there’s no shortage of methods for hearing your favorite tunes. And while Chartmetric collects data from over a dozen digital streaming services, we’ve decided to examine just three of today’s biggest players: Spotify, YouTube, and the good ol’ radio!
Spotify
Spotify is a global powerhouse in the streaming space, and the numbers prove it. The 9,753,156 artists we track on Spotify have a combined total of 65.8 billion monthly listeners and 21.6 billion followers, the latter growing 22.7% since last year. These counts are non-unique, more information is available in the methodology section.
There’s a wide variety of artists in the industry right now! For every huge star at the top of festival lineups, there are way, way, more who have yet to hit it big. Only 19.16% of artists on Spotify had over a thousand monthly listeners in 2023, and only two — Taylor Swift and The Weeknd — have ever surpassed 100 million, a milestone that both artists hit for the first time this year.

Playlists
Of Chartmetric’s 18,478,512 tracked Spotify playlists, 4,987,554 playlists, or 27%, were created and ingested into our database this year. These new playlists have a combined 713,956,535 followers. Overwhelmingly, songs are added to playlists most often on Fridays - nearly twice as often as the next most popular day, Saturday. This is likely because of new music Friday playlists, as well as the majority of new music being released on Fridays!
On average, songs added to playlists this year lasted 44.13 days before being taken off. That’s just about how long it takes to climb Mount Everest from the base camp to the peak!
Most Followed Playlists
Radio
Chartmetric tracks 3,191 radio stations across 1,187 cities and 91 countries, and the radio waves were bumping with some great tunes this year: A total 7,375,258 tracks were played this year an average of 102.4 times each for a combined 754,998,422 spins, making up for 1,716 years of airplay. That’s more years than there are musical instruments (around 1,500)!

Top Genres
In terms of the radio, there was a clear winner for the most popular genre: Pop! 31.4% of the 5,000 most played tracks on the radio this year were in the pop genre, followed by rock at 8.8% and country at 8.7%.

Top Artists
The competition for top artist on the radio this past year was a close one, but the ultimate winner was The Weeknd — no doubt partially due to his hit track “Creepin” with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin, which was the second most played track on the radio in 2023.

Sometimes, songs and genres thrive more on certain platforms. In the case of YouTube, their top charting songs had much more regional and genre diversity in comparison to other platforms, a testament to the site’s strong presence in international markets. Of the 10 songs that spent the longest time on the YouTube charts this year, only one was by an American artist (“Flowers” by Miley Cyrus), with the rest of the list comprised of Latin and Asian artists.

YouTube’s Global Weekly Charts 2023
Top Songs
India was the biggest producer of songs featured in YouTube’s Global Weekly Top 50 charts in 2023, followed by the United States, South Korea, and Mexico. This makes sense given how dominant a role YouTube plays in music consumption in international markets, especially in India. The most common genres among these songs also show a heavy presence of non-Western genres like Latin, K-pop, Bollywood, and reggaeton, further showing the global nature of music on YouTube.
Social Media
In the digital age, social media has become a primary driver for music discovery. Whether it’s TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, content on these apps dictates who and what is trending in today’s streaming landscape. This deep dive into the audiences on these platforms helps reveal who, what, and where the tastemakers are!
Audience Growth
Across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, artists gained a combined 11.9 billion new followers in 2023, with over half of these coming from Instagram alone! These counts are non-unique, more information is available in the methodology section.

Audience Demographics
More women follow artists on TikTok and Instagram than men, who make up a larger share of YouTube’s audience. TikTok has the youngest user base, with over 71% of followers being under the age of 24. The biggest age group for TikTok and YouTube is people between 18 and 24 years old, while the largest group on Instagram is between 25 and 34 years old.

Audience Location
In terms of the countries from which artists gained new followers in 2023, the largest number came from the U.S. across the board. For all three platforms, Brazil was in the top three and Mexico was in the top five.
TikTok Trends
Explaining TikTok’s disruption on the music industry feels almost unnecessary at this point. However, understanding the platform is imperative if you’re trying to stay on top of what drives listening behavior. From global fads to microtrends, music in 2023 was once again heavily impacted by TikTok.
Throw it Back to the Throwbacks
When it comes to music that experienced a second wind on TikTok, 2023 was just as random and unpredictable as ever. The truth is, there’s almost no way to determine whether a song will experience a resurgence on the platform. Whether it’s pieced to a larger dance trend or even a viral meme, this year’s catalog bops had us, well, boppin’!
POV: In Our Niche Genre Era
Similar to catalog music resurfacing, niche genres blossomed on TikTok this year. While these sounds or communities were by no means “new,” the platform’s tendency to latch onto thriving scenes thrusts them unexpectedly into the limelight and turns a subculture into a trend. Still, we were thrilled to see some long-deserving artists see their share of the spotlight.
Dancing the Night Away
Dance trends have long since attached themselves to music. Just think of 2010s favorites like Gangnam Style and the Harlem Shake, or jump even further back to the Macarena or the Y.M.C.A. In the modern day, TikTok has certainly become the main breeding ground for viral dance crazes. This year though, some of the platform’s biggest trends weren’t quite what you would expect.

Methodology
Here are some notes on our data collection methods, please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions about this report or Chartmetric in general.
✍ hi@chartmetric.com- All data is as of December 31, 2023, and is prone to potential errors and discrepancies. Data is based on the artists and songs that Chartmetric has ingested, which may not include every musician in the world or all of their online profiles. Artists are not always tracked on every platform.
- Counts of subscribers, followers, viewers, and combined monthly listeners are not unique. If a user is subscribed to multiple artists, they are counted for each artist they follow, which is why total platform follower counts may exceed actual population numbers. The same is true for social media demographic data about gender and country breakdowns of platform audiences, which was measured using only new followers artists gained in 2023.
- In instances where artists or tracks were associated with multiple genres, their most highly associated genre was used according to the data and editorial discretion.
- Within the lists of top artists, non-artists and those whose primary career is not related to music were removed using editorial discretion.
- Not all social and streaming platforms are available in every country, i.e. TikTok is not available in India and YouTube is not available in China.
- The date used for the completion of the Mona Lisa was 1517.
- Artist countries were only measured for artists with an associated country in our dataset. Country data was available for 20.5% of new artists added in 2023.
- An artist’s home country is determined through a multitude of factors, such as an artist’s country of birth and/or country of residence.
- Metrics for the highlighted artists as of Dec. 31, 2023.
- Solo/group data was available for 7.61% of artists.
- The 2023 Career Stage distribution chart reflects the Career Stages (on December 31, 2023) of all artists added to the platform in 2023.
- Career Stage movement was measured as the change in Career Stage for artists between June 11 and December 31, 2023, due to an internal change in methodology for calculating Career Stages. Artists were only measured in the Career Stage Movement section if they were added to Chartmetric on or before June 11, 2023, including those added before 2023.
- 52.39% of artists added in 2023 have an associated Career Stage.
- 61.12% of artists added prior to June 11, 2023 have an associated Career Stage.
- 24.7% of artists with known career stages added prior to June 11, 2023 did not move Career Stages in 2023.
- To discover where music’s biggest breakouts are emerging from, we took the top 5k artists (according to their Chartmetric artist score) and filtered the list to only include artists with a known home country whose first release was on or after December 1, 2019. Our study included 419 emerging artists and allowed us to evaluate the geographical distribution of these breakthrough talents.
- For genre trends, only genres that were the primary genre for six or more emerging artists were included. When a track's genre differed from the artist's, we referred to the track's specific genre. In cases where tracks were labeled as belonging to the genre “Other,” the second-most associated genre was used. The holiday, children’s music, and soundtrack genres were excluded from this list.
- The likeliness of emerging artists to release a track in a given genre was calculated as the number of emerging artists, regardless of their primary genre, to release a track in the given genre divided by the number of emerging artists with a primary genre of the given genre.
- The top tracks on the radio were determined by the tracks that were played the most often in 2023.
- The top tracks on Shazam were determined by the tracks that were Shazamed the most in 2023.
- The top tracks on Spotify were determined by the tracks that received the most Spotify streams in 2023.
- The top tracks on TikTok were determined by the tracks that were used in the most TikTok posts in 2023.
- The top tracks on YouTube were determined by the tracks that received the most YouTube views in 2023.
- The average time on a Spotify playlist was calculated using only songs that had been added and removed from a playlist during 2023.
- Algorithmically generated playlists, Spotify charts, artist radios, and “This is” playlists were not included.
- Chartmetric only tracks a selection of public Spotify playlists, not all playlists. This is determined by playlist and curator followers, popularity, and other metrics.
- The top 100 Spotify artists were determined by those with the highest peak Spotify monthly listeners in 2023. If the reason an artist had enough monthly listeners to rank among the top 100 was because of a holiday surge associated with one of their songs, their genre was labeled as “Holiday”.
- Each artist’s peak Spotify monthly listeners in 2023 were used to determine what percent of artists had over 1,000 monthly listeners.
- Only notable/select radio stations are tracked, not all stations in the world.
- Radio spins for each track were calculated under the assumption that all tracks were played in their entirety. The spin counts were determined by dividing the total time of airplay for a specific track by its track duration.
- Only YouTube videos associated with artists or songs on Chartmetric are ingested onto the platform.
- Charting data was gathered from YouTube’s Global Weekly Top 100 Songs Chart. Only the top 50 songs each week were included, which resulted in a total of 419 songs. A small number of songs were excluded, as they were covers, DJ remixes, or other atypical uploads that lacked an ISRC.
- Songs with multiple artists were counted once for each distinct home country. If multiple artists were from the same country, it was only counted once.
- Artists with multiple charting songs were counted for each song they had on the charts.
