SoundExchange is winding down the year with a look back at 2024’s Top 20 Tracks and Breakout Creators.

Annual Year-End Lists Feature Jack Harlow, Teddy Swims, Kenya Grace, Dasha, Chappel Roan, Shaboozey & More

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SoundExchange is winding down the year with a look back at 2024’s Top 20 Tracks and Breakout Creators. The annual lists are based on 12 months (December 1, 2023-November 30, 2024) of non-interactive streaming data from more than 3,200 digital service providers operating under the statutory license for which SoundExchange collects and distributes royalties.

“I am always impressed with the wide-ranging styles that make up the Breakout Creators list. The diversity of these creators and their music speaks volumes about the ability of all genres to break through and find listeners.” – SoundExchange President and CEO, Michael Huppe.

Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” leads the SoundExchange Top Tracks of 2024 list, followed by Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” and Tate McCrae’s “Greedy.” Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” ranked fourth, five spots higher than its No. 9 ranking on last year’s list, and Hozier’s “Too Sweet” rounds out the top five.

Teddy Swims notches a second cut on the list with “The Door” at No. 17. Doja Cat also earns two slots on the 2024 tracks list, with “Paint the Town Red” at No. 6 and “Agora Hills” at No. 9 – both from her 2023 album Scarlet. Others scoring two tracks in the top 20 were Miley Cyrus and SZA – Cyrus at No. 10 with “Flowers” (last year’s No. 1 track) and “Used to Be Young” at No. 13, and SZA with “Snooze” (last year’s No. 13) landing at 14 and “Saturn” at No. 18.

SoundExchange’s 2024 Top 20 Breakout Creators list is made up of artists who gained traction for their music and talent this year. This data-based set reflects these creators’ first significant streaming activity, fueled by strong debuts or career highlight releases that connected with wider audiences.

Topping 2024’s Breakout Creators list is South African-born British singer/songwriter/producer Kenya Grace. Her single “Strangers” landed her on top of the U.K. singles chart in 2023 and it finishes out the SoundExchange 2024 Top Tracks list at No. 20.

Grace is followed on the list by country Dasha, whose track “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” went viral on TikTok and reached No. 18 on The Billboard Hot 100. Florida-based rapper BossMan Dlow, whose single “Get in with Me” found its audience on TikTok and Instagram, clocks in at No. 3, followed by Virginia singer/songwriter Tommy Richman in the fourth position, fueled by his hit single “Million Dollar Baby” (which peaked at No. 2 on The Billboard Hot 100).

At No. 5 on the Top 20 Breakout Creators list is Chappel Roan, followed by Shaboozey, which comes as no surprise as 2024 has been a banner year for both artists. Roan has been riding a wave of popularity stemming from her live performances and popular tracks “Good Luck, Babe!,” “Pink Pony Club,” and “Femininomenon,” while Shaboozey set a record for a solo artist topping The Billboard Hot 100 for 18 weeks with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and ties Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus) as the longest running No. 1 in the chart’s history.

“The annual SoundExchange lists offer a fascinating look at the artists and tracks that have captivated audiences throughout the year – all based on data from satellite and internet radio outlets operating under the licenses we administer,” said Michael Huppe, President and CEO of SoundExchange. “I am always impressed with the wide-ranging styles that make up the Breakout Creators list – country, pop, hip-hop, regional Mexican, alt-rock, and more. The diversity of these creators and their music speaks volumes about the ability of all genres to break through and find listeners.”

Since 2003, SoundExchange has maintained its commitment to ensuring creators are paid fairly for their work through advocacy, innovation, and efforts to create a fairer music industry for all. 2024 saw SoundExchange pass the milestone of cumulative distributions of $11 billion.

Eqvista Launches Company-Sponsored Tender Offers, Expanding Private Market Liquidity Capabilities

By

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
