Top Country Artists on Spotify Wrapped: Who Dominated 2024?

Spotify Wrapped has officially landed, and 2024 has been another groundbreaking year for country music on the platform. With country artists not only holding their own but breaking records and transcending genres, it’s safe to say the genre is riding a massive wave of global popularity. Here’s a look at the top country artists who ruled Spotify Wrapped in 2024 and how they’re shaping the future of music.

1. Zach Bryan: The Indie Maverick Who Broke the Rules

Zach Bryan’s meteoric rise continued in 2024, and Spotify Wrapped confirms his dominance. Known for his raw, heartfelt storytelling and stripped-down production, Bryan shattered expectations with his self-titled album this year. Featuring hits like “Something in the Orange” and “Pink Skies,” Bryan blurred the lines between country, folk, and indie, proving his universal appeal.

Fans streamed his catalog relentlessly, and tracks like “Heading South” earned their place in Spotify’s Top Tracks USA 2024. With his authenticity and genre-bending sound, Bryan is redefining what it means to be a country artist in the digital age.

2. Morgan Wallen: Still Breaking Records

Morgan Wallen continues to dominate the charts—and streaming platforms. His 2024 standout single “I Had Some Help,” a collaboration with Post Malone, demonstrated his ability to seamlessly blend country with other genres. The song not only secured a spot on Spotify’s Top Tracks USA but also fueled a staggering 260% increase in new listeners for Wallen globally.

With his album One Thing At A Time still seeing heavy rotation and tracks like “Last Night” climbing streaming charts, Wallen proves his staying power. Love him or hate him, he remains one of the most-streamed country artists of the year.

3. Lainey Wilson: A Force to Be Reckoned With

Lainey Wilson’s star burned brighter than ever in 2024. Fresh off her CMA-winning streak, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Wilson’s songs like “Out of Oklahoma” (from Twisters: The Album) found their way onto countless playlists.

With her relatable lyrics and traditional-meets-modern sound, Wilson has captured the hearts of Spotify users, making her one of the platform’s most-streamed female country artists. Expect her to keep climbing as her fan base expands globally.

4. Luke Combs: A Consistent Powerhouse

Luke Combs remains a steady favorite on Spotify, with hits like “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” earning top-tier streaming numbers. His ability to consistently deliver radio-friendly anthems with emotional depth has made him a staple for country fans on Spotify Wrapped.

Combs’ arena-filling tours and chart-topping singles prove he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. As one of the top-streamed artists in the USA, he’s helping to carry the genre into new heights of mainstream recognition.

5. Chris Stapleton: A Songwriting Legend

Chris Stapleton’s track “White Horse” found a place among Spotify’s Best Songs of 2024 playlist, further cementing his reputation as one of the greatest voices in country music. Known for his soulful delivery and impeccable songwriting, Stapleton’s music continues to resonate deeply with fans worldwide.

Stapleton’s ability to bridge country and blues has earned him a loyal fan base, making him a consistent presence in Spotify Wrapped highlights year after year.

6. Rising Stars: Shaboozey and Charles Wesley Godwin

Newcomers are also making waves. Shaboozey, whose viral hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” dominated summer playlists, saw a jaw-dropping 1,600% increase in monthly listeners. His ability to infuse hip-hop influences into country makes him one to watch.

Charles Wesley Godwin also gained traction with his heartfelt Americana sound. Tracks like “All Again” from the Homegrown playlist highlight his growing popularity among fans of alternative country and folk.

A Personal Look at Spotify Wrapped

Spotify Wrapped is an exciting way to reflect on the music that shaped your year, but it’s important to keep in mind that it only captures data from January 1 through October 31. That means any tracks you obsessed over in November and December won’t make the cut.

I noticed this firsthand in my Wrapped this year. Tracks I listened to heavily in January and February dominated my top songs list, even though my listening habits shifted as the year went on. For example, my top-streamed song came from an album released early in the year, which I replayed nonstop for a month. Meanwhile, some of my current favorites didn’t appear because I discovered them after October.

Wrapped is a fascinating snapshot, but it’s worth taking with a grain of salt—it’s not a full-year picture of your musical journey. For me, that realization only adds to the fun of revisiting old favorites and discovering what resonated most during the first ten months of the year.

Spotify Wrapped Proves Country Is Bigger Than Ever

This year’s Spotify Wrapped confirms what fans already know: country music is no longer confined to its roots. The genre’s evolution—through artists like Bryan, Wallen, and Wilson—is attracting diverse audiences, from traditionalists to indie enthusiasts. Spotify’s data also shows a 20% increase in global country streams this year, solidifying its place as a genre with unprecedented reach.

As we look ahead to 2025, the influence of these top country artists will only continue to grow. From viral hits to genre-defying collaborations, country music is taking over the global stage—and Spotify Wrapped is here to tell the story.
