Vevo, the world’s leading music video network, has unveiled its annual end-of-year charts, highlighting the most-watched videos and artists of 2024. KAROL G and Taylor Swift dominate once again, topping the global and U.S. artist charts, respectively.
“Artists are the biggest influencers in the world, and the visual nature of music videos deepen an artist’s connection with their fans in a unique way that goes beyond the music itself. A frequent and consistent video release strategy not only enhances an artist’s brand, but it also galvanizes their fanbase,” said JP Evangelista, senior vice president, Content, Programming & Marketing, Vevo. “Major pop culture moments are therefore reflected in music video viewership, and Vevo’s annual recap provides the music and wider media and entertainment industry with a barometer for what was trending this year.”
