Spotify unveils 2024 Australian music global impact list

Spotify Australia has revealed its Australian Music Global Impact List for 2024, highlighting the Top 30 tracks by Aussie artists that made waves internationally. The ranking, based on global streams outside Australia, includes only tracks released between the 1st of January and the 31st of December 2024.

Rising star CYRIL takes the top spot with his remix of Disturbed's The Sound of Silence, marking a breakout year with three entries in the Top 30. His remixes of The Door (CYRIL Remix) by Teddy Swims (#18) and Fall At Your Feet with Dean Lewis (#24) further cemented his global impact.

CYRIL said: "I'm incredibly honoured to have three tracks featured on the Spotify Global Impact List, including a No.1 spot, alongside so many talented artists. It makes me proud that my music can show the world that Australians aren't here to f*** spiders.

"I've always wanted to show the world just how incredible Aussie music is, so topping the Global Impact List alongside so many idols of mine is absolutely unreal. None of this would've been possible without the support of Spotify Australia not just locally, but on a global scale," he said.

Also making the list was viral sensation Lithe follows at #2 with Fall Back, which dominated social media throughout 2024. He also claims the #12 spot with Like We Wrote. Meanwhile, The Kid LAROI had the strongest presence on the list with five entries, including four tracks from his 2024 album THE FIRST TIME and a collaboration with EKKSTACY.

Indie darlings Royel Otis continued their international rise, with their covers of Linger (#5) and Murder on the Dance Floor (#11) making a strong impact.

Aussie dance music thrived on the list, with two Tame Impala collaborations with Justice securing spots, while Timmy Trumpet landed two entries as well. FISHER’s Somebody (2024), a remix of Gotye and Kimbra's viral 2010s hit, reached #3.

Finally, music icons Sia and Kylie Minogue, both former #1 holders on the list, made the cut again with their collaboration Dance Alone at #19.

"It’s fantastic to see such an exciting up and coming act like CYRIL taking out the #1 spot, after having a breakout 2024 both locally and abroad. The latest edition of the list demonstrates that both established and emerging acts are building overseas audiences through Spotify, a crucial part of building sustainable careers in music," she said.
