Spotify Wrapped 2024: Taylor Swift, Hev Abi, BINI, more emerge as top artists in PH
It's a great day to be a Swiftie as Taylor Swift emerged as Spotify's top artist for 2024 in the Philippines.
The streaming service recently dropped its much-awaited Wrapped campaign, where users are given a recap of their listening habits throughout the year.
Several powerhouses in the music industry in both local and international scenes popped up one too many times as Filipinos took the time to share their Wrapped results online.
Unsurprisingly, Swift emerged as Spotify’s Global Top Artist for the second year in a row. The award-winning singer made headlines in the Philippines back in March for her explosive "Eras Tour" in Singapore, which was her only stop in Southeast Asia.
On her heels are other prominent singers such as The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake, and Billie Eilish, respectively.
As for the local music scene, Filipino rapper Hev Abi earned the distinction of being this year’s Spotify Wrapped Philippines’ Top Local Artist, followed by P-pop girl group BINI. Balladeers Arthur Nery and TJ Monterde, and folk-pop band Ben&Ben meanwhile claimed the subsequent spots.
"'Di naman siya nakakagulat para sa akin—lahat naman siguro ng artist gusto maging leading in some way, somehow. Pero gusto ko rin isipin na hindi siya nakakagulat para maging steady ka lang, grateful lang lagi," Hev Abi said of the recognition.
"Ako naman ginagawa ko lang ‘yung music na gusto kong mapakinggan. 'Yung recognition ng mga tao, ng Spotify, bonus na lang. Thankful ako na maraming nag-e-enjoy at nakaka-relate sa music ko, which is ‘yun na rin siguro 'yung reason kung bakit nasasabi na nirerepresent ko ‘yung new sound ng Pinoy hip-hop," he added.
