From aespa to ATEEZ, What’s Your Favorite K-Pop Song of 2024? Vote!
K-pop tracks continues to dominate playlists and charts worldwide with 2024 being no exception. This year, top artists delivered an incredible array of songs that define the genre’s innovative spirit, emotional depth and increasing international appeal. As the year winds down, Billboard wants to know which track resonated with you the most.
2024 saw major musical milestones like aespa’s “Supernova” shining as as a cosmic anthem and the year’s defining song that showcased the girl group’s ambition and versatility. Meanwhile, IU returned to reclaim her K-pop crown with “Love Wins All,” a poignant ballad that earned her even more worldwide recognition when its music video co-starred BTS member V. Plus, ATEEZ further proved their mastery of sonic storytelling with “Ice on My Teeth,” a subtle yet powerful track celebrating their well-earned victories in the global music market.
As has been the trend, girl groups dominated the track rankings. Red Velvet’s “Cosmic” transported listeners into a disco-ready orbit of lush harmonies, ITZY offered introspective escapism with their haunting “Imaginary Friend,” NewJeans delivered on the feel-good nostalgia funk for “Supernatural,” and (G)I-DLE fired on all cylinders with the high-energy hip-hop and dubstep-infused thumper “Super Lady.” Plus, in a historic moment, G-Dragon reunited with fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung for the nostalgic yet forward-looking “Home Sweet Home,” a track steeped in both history and bold ambition.
While K-pop is generally known for its groups, 2024 also saw more members break out from the team. BTS’ V and Jung Kook shared special singles while fulfilling their mandatory military service, as JENNIE, ROSÉ, and LISA all kicked off exciting new solo eras before they return to BLACKPINK.
With such stellar singles released throughout 2024, we want to know which one had you hitting repeat the most and stayed atop your playlists. Vote for your favorite K-pop song of the year below!
