BBC Radio 1 honours Sabrina Carpenter track Espresso with Biggest Song Of 2024 title

BBC Radio 1 has crowned Sabrina Carpenter with the song of the year - after her hit single Espresso dominated the charts. The 25-year-old former Disney child star had been seemingly futilely churning out music since 2014 and spent a decade failing to make a dent in music charts around the world. But that all changed in 2024 as the star became unavoidable when her coffee inspired song romped its way up the charts across the globe.
Her album Short n Sweet - which was the sixth record that Sabrina created - also rocketed to the top of the charts and her subsequent singles Please Please Please and Taste also achieved huge commercial success. Now the American singer can round off her year with more celebrations as BBC Radio 1 declared her single the biggest song of the year.
The top 10 featured Charli XCX in second place with her song 360, Chappell Roan in third place with Good Luck, Babe!, Billie Eilish at four with Birds of a Feather, and Chase & Status featuring Stormzy at number five with their song Backbone. Charli XCX and Billie Eilish were back in sixth place with their duet Guess, while Sonny Fodera, Jazzy, and D.O.D. made number seven with the track Somedays, Fontaines D.C. were at number eight with Starburster, Beyoncé reached number nine with her song Texas hold ‘em, and Hozier rounded out the top 10 with the song Too Sweet.
While it has been a triumphant year for Sabrina as she finally reached music success after a full 10 years of trying, some music fans think she has been forced upon the public and her success has all been down to industry manipulation by record labels. A theory was sparked when countless people took to social media to complain that her upbeat pop was forcibly played to them via streaming services like Spotify which are supposed to play random tracks at the end of album or playlist listening.
