Streaming services calculated which songs and artists were the most popular among Ukrainians in 2024. On Spotify and Apple Music, the most popular song was 'Teresa & Maria'.

Both services published reports for 2024. Spotify presented its traditional Wrapped section listing the most listened tracks of the year.

The Ukrainian playlist on Spotify was led by the composition 'Teresa & Maria', performed by alyona alyona and Jerry Heil at Eurovision-2024. The second and third places were occupied by the songs 'I Lied to You' and 'Find Me'. The top 10 also included a Russian-speaking song by the Ukrainian hip-hop performer KRBK.

The Ukrainian top 10 tracks of 2024 on Spotify:

• alyona alyona, Jerry Heil – Teresa & Maria;
• Klavydiia Petriivna – 'I Lied to You';
• Klavydiia Petriivna – 'Find Me';
• Chico, Qatoshi, 100lytsia – 'Love Me';
• Dorofeeva, Lebiga – 'And I Was Crying';
• KRBK – 'Stronger';
• Artem Pivovarov, Klavydiia Petriivna – 'Drum';
• SadSvit, Structure of Happiness – 'Silhouettes';
• Wellboy, Parfeniuk – 'Kill';
• Wellboy – 'Home'.

On Apple Music, 'Teresa & Maria' also took first place in the top 10 most popular songs in Ukraine. The list differs slightly from Spotify. Instead of KRBK, the Apple Music top 10 includes the English-language song 'Lose Control' by Teddy Swims.

Unlike Apple Music, Spotify created a list of popular Ukrainian performers, not all the songs that Ukrainians listened to on the platform.

We remind you that in September, streaming services published data showing that in Ukraine, 26% of popularity is occupied by Russian music, while Ukrainian music leads with a slight advantage at 39%. On average, as of early September 2024, the charts looked as follows: 39% Ukrainian songs, 34% foreign songs, 26% Russian songs.

Also, in January, as part of the daily broadcast review of 14 radio stations, the Secretariat of the Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language recorded no instances of broadcasting Russian-language songs.
