What’s up, Kansas City? Your Music Taste is Hot in 2024!
If you live in Kansas City, you might want to crank up some tunes because the latest music stats are in, and they showcase what everyone’s vibing to right now. This year, Spotify has rolled out its cherished year-in-review feature, Spotify Wrapped, and it’s showing us exactly what Kansas City is jamming to!
Country Takes the Lead!
Surprise, surprise! When it comes to the top five most-played songs in Kansas City, the country music genre is leading the pack. According to the data released on December 4, three out of the top five songs are country hits! It seems like Kansas City has a special love for twangy tunes and heartfelt lyrics. Among the favorites, we’ve got:
- A Bar Song (Tipsy) by Shaboozey
- Beautiful Things by Benson Boone
- I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen) by Post Malone
- I Remember Everything (feat. Kacey Musgraves) by Zach Bryan
- Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar
As you can see, hits from the country genre are stealing the spotlight! It’s no wonder, considering that Morgan Wallen and Shaboozey have performed in the city this past year, gathering quite a crowd and rousing some serious fan fervor!
A Viral Hit and a Diss Track!
Not to be overlooked, we have a couple of other genres stepping up to the plate. The list also features a viral ballad – that’s Benson Boone’s Beautiful Things – and a noteworthy diss track by Kendrick Lamar. This eclectic mix of music shows Kansas City’s vibrant and diverse music scene!
Oh, and guess what? Although Missouri’s own Midwest sensation Chappell Roan is making headway with her accolades and catchy tunes, she didn’t quite crack the city’s top five this year. Her track, Good Luck, Babe!, is still buzzing and celebrated, but it appears that there are some fierce competitors in town!
Upcoming Performances to Note!
Looking ahead, Kansas City fans are buzzing with excitement because the one and only Post Malone is set to bring his dynamic performance to a venue near Branson in June. You better mark those calendars! It’s bound to be a show that nobody will want to miss!
