Here’s Every Artist Who Earned Their First Hot 100 Entry in 2024

Written by on January 2, 2025

In the 2024 calendar year, 761 songs by a total of 404 different artists appeared on the Billboard Hot 100.

Of those 404 artists, 120 appeared on the chart for the first time in 2024. Billboard has been celebrating these Hot 100 first-timers throughout the year, highlighting their first chart appearances and sharing their reactions to the news. As 2024 draws to a close, let’s look back at each act to debut on the ranking for the first time and the songs that helped them become Hot 100-charting hitmakers.

Notably, of the eight acts nominated for best new artist at the upcoming 67th Grammy Awards in February, two hit the Hot 100 for the first time this year: Chappell Roan with “Good Luck, Babe!” in April, and Shaboozey with his featured turns on Beyoncé’s “Spaghettii” and “Sweet * Honey * Buckiin” from her album Cowboy Carter, also in April. “Good Luck, Babe!” reached No. 4 on the chart in September, and Roan landed six additional songs on the chart this year: “Red Wine Supernova,” “Hot to Go!,” “Pink Pony Club,” “Casual,” “Femininomenon” and “My Kink Is Karma.” Shaboozey, of course, later charted with his breakthrough smash “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which spent a record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1, and then with “Good News.”

As for the other best new artist nominees: Benson Boone first charted in 2021 with “Ghost Town,” but his song “Beautiful Things” became his biggest hit to date this year, reaching No. 2; Sabrina Carpenter first charted in 2021 with “Skin,” but earned her first three top 10s this year with “Espresso,” “Please Please Please” and “Taste”; Doechii arrived on the Hot 100 in 2023 with “What It Is (Block Boy)”; Raye debuted in December 2022 with “Escapism”; and Teddy Swims arrived in August 2023 with “Lose Control,” which topped the chart this March and finished as Billboard’s No. 1 Hot 100 song of the year. (Khruangbin hasn’t yet appeared on the Hot 100.)

Tommy Richman made a historic first entry on the chart this year with “Million Dollar Baby” when it debuted at No. 2. Since the Hot 100 began in 1958, only five other acts have debuted in the top two with no prior history on the chart: Lauryn Hill, Fantasia, Baauer, Zayn and Oliver Anthony Music. (Hill and Zayn previously charted with Fugees and One Direction, respectively. Fantasia won Season 3 of American Idol. So only Richman, Baauer and Oliver Anthony Music debuted in the top two with no significant previous audience awareness.)

Other notable artists who first reached the Hot 100 this year include Djo, aka actor Joe Keery of Stranger Things, who debuted with his viral hit “End of Beginning”; Sophie Ellis-Bextor, whose 2001 song “Murder on the Dancefloor” received newfound popularity after its appearance in the film Saltburn; YG Marley, who debuted with “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” helping him become the sixth member of the legendary Marley family to chart a song on the Hot 100; and Pabllo Vittar, who joined RuPaul as the only drag queens to ever to debut on the chart.

Proving that age is just a number, two artists over the age of 80 earned their first Hot 100 entries this year. Ariana Grande’s grandmother, Marjorie Grande, was credited as a featured act on her granddaughter’s song “Ordinary Things” (under the name Nonna). At 98 years old, she became the senior-most artist ever to appear on the Hot 100. She surpassed Fred Stobaugh, who charted at 96 years old with “Oh Sweet Lorraine” in 2013. Plus, Linda Martell charted for the first time at age 82 thanks to her guest appearance on Beyoncé’s “Spaghettii.” In 1969, the country music pioneer became the first Black woman to ever play the Grand Ole Opry.

Plus, the children of two superstars also charted on the Hot 100 for the first time this year: North West, the eldest child of Ye (formerly Kanye West) and Kim Kardashian, charted her first song in February at age 10, with her featured appearance on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Talking.” Two months later, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s daughter Rumi became the youngest female artist to ever chart on the Hot 100, at just 6 years old. She debuted with her guest appearance on Beyoncé’s “Protector.” She surpassed her sister, Blue Ivy Carter, who was 7 years old when she first charted in 2019 (on “Brown Skin Girl”).

In chronological order below is a roundup of every artist who earned a first Hot 100 hit in 2024, encompassing the charts dated Jan. 6-Dec. 28.
