[EOTY 2024] Indieheads Top 100 Songs of 2024

Good morning yall!

We're still winding down on Listmas season, and that means it's time once again for our top 100 songs of 2024. This list was created over a few weeks of community voting, with hundreds of r/indieheads users participating. For more details on how this list came about, you can take a look at the voting thread.

Per our usual rules, we only allow one song per artist on the official list. We also disqualified songs that were originally released prior to December 2023. To get a better picture on overall voting, you may look at the spreadsheet for the full raw tally of songs, posted below.

And now, here's our top 100 songs of 2024!
