We’re counting down numbers seven and eight of the year’s biggest acts on Billboard‘s Top Artists chart for 2024, and at No. 8? Luke Combs! The country king is No. 8 after a busy year on both the Billboard 200 albums chart and the Hot 100 songs chart. He scored his sixth consecutive top 10-charting effort on Billboard 200 in June with Fathers & Sons, debuting and peaking at No. 6. He debuted eight new titles on the Hot 100 during the chart year, including two that reached the weekly top 40: his Twisters soundtrack contribution “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” and Post Malone’s “Guy for That,” on which he’s featured. And we’re not done!

At No. 7 on the countdown? SZA! SZA scores the No. 7 spot, thanks to the enduring success of her two full-length studio albums SOS and CTRL on the Billboard 200, as well as multiple hits on the Hot 100. SOS, which was released in late 2022 and debuted at No. 1, has yet to depart the chart, while CTRL, released in mid-2017, has been on the chart in almost every week since its release. Four songs that premiered on the Hot 100 chart during the 2023 chart year continued their runs into 2024: “Kill Bill,” “Snooze,” “Slime You Out” with Drake, and “Rich Baby Daddy” with Drake and Sexy Red.
