Taylor Swift Is the Top Billboard Hot 100 Songwriter of 2024

For the second consecutive year, Taylor Swift is both Billboard’s overall top artist of the year, as well as the No. 1 Hot 100 Songwriter.

She finishes 2024 as the No. 1 songwriter thanks to the chart performance of a staggering 56 songwriting credits on the Billboard Hot 100 during the 2024 chart eligibility period (Oct. 28, 2023-Oct. 19, 2024), including her two-week No. 1 hit, “Fortnight,” featuring Post Malone.

Here’s a look at all 56 of Swift’s songwriting credits on the Hot 100 during the 2024 tracking period, which all contribute to her placement on the year-end ranking. Note that many of the songs listed below are holdovers from previous years—“Anti-Hero,” for example, debuted and peaked at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in November 2022, but continued to chart until Nov. 4, 2023 (its final week on the chart before dropping off). As such, its final two weeks on the chart count towards Swift’s 2024 year-end Hot 100 Songwriters ranking because it was still charting.

Of the 56 songs that contributed to Swift’s No. 1 placement, all but “Anti-Hero” peaked on the chart during the eligibility period. “Cruel Summer,” notably, hit No. 1 in the first week of the eligibility period (chart dated Oct. 28, 2023). Swift is the lead artist on all songs below except Gracie Abrams’ “Us.,” on which she was featured.

Swift’s 56 songs above are from four different albums: Midnights (No. 1 peak in 2022), Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (No. 1; 2023), 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (No. 1; 2023) and The Tortured Poets Department (No. 1; 2024). The lattermost album is Billboard’s No. 1 Billboard 200 album of 2024. It’s the fourth time Swift has finished with the No. 1 album of the year, after Fearless in 2009, 1989 in 2015 and Reputation in 2018.

Swift has now finished as Billboard’s No. 1 Hot 100 Songwriter of the year three different times: in 2009, 2023, and now in 2024.

Just below Swift on the 2024 year-end Hot 100 Songwriters ranking, Swift’s collaborator Jack Antonoff finishes at No. 2, thanks to 25 songwriting credits on the Hot 100 during the eligibility period. Along with the 20 songs above by Swift, Antonoff is also credited as a co-writer on four Sabrina Carpenter songs (including her No. 1 hit “Please Please Please”) as well as Quavo and Lana Del Rey’s “Tough.”

Antonoff also finishes 2024 as the No. 1 Hot 100 Producer for the first time, largely thanks to his work with Swift and Carpenter.

After Antonoff, Zach Bryan finishes as the No. 3 Hot 100 Songwriter, thanks to 22 songwriting credits, mainly from his album The Great American Bar Scene.

Kendrick Lamar claims the No. 4 spot, thanks to five songwriting credits, including his No. 1s “Not Like Us” and “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin.

Finally, Amy Allen finishes as the No. 5 Hot 100 Songwriter of 2024, thanks to 20 songwriting credits in the eligibility period. Twelve of those are from Sabrina Carpenter’s No. 1 album Short n’ Sweet, including her No. 1 “Please Please Please.” Also contributing are songs by Tate McRae (“Greedy,” “Run For The Hills”), Koe Wetzel & Jessie Murph (“High Road,” “Sweet Dreams”), Justin Timberlake (“Selfish”) and Olivia Rodrigo (“Scared of My Guitar”).

Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from Oct. 28, 2023, through Oct. 19, 2024. Rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the titles appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the October-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.
