From Taylor Swift to Chappell Roan: 2024 Music Power Players

Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Stray Kids and Shaboozey are among the chart-topping, genre-busting, money-minting, viral-making performers on THR’s 2024 hot list.

This past year, the new kids on the block have ruled the music scene. Chappell Roan emerged as the current princess of pop. Teddy Swims, Benson Boone and Tommy Richman marked breakthroughs, dominated streaming services and went viral on TikTok, as Shaboozey took over country music. Speaking of that genre, it’s continuing to explode on the pop charts, and this year feels historic with such acts as Beyoncé and Post Malone tackling the sound on their latest albums. Former country queen Taylor Swift, much like SZA, is still owning music in a year that people are finally putting real respect on Charli XCX, Victoria Monét and Sabrina Carpenter. Taking into account their staying power at the top of the charts, the virality of their music and their Grammy nominations and wins (or likely noms and wins), The Hollywood Reporter’s Platinum Power Players in music moved the culture at large in 2024.
