Xperi’s DTS arm has released its “Top Most Listened-To Songs In-Vehicle for Q2 2024” report. The report focuses on the U.S. and U.K. markets in depth along with a global overall summation. Mind you it’s based on having DTS AutoStage installed in the vehicle, a situation most likely to reflect higher penetration in the U.S. and U.K. markets.
For the curious, Win, Place and Show, respectively, were, in the U.S., Teddy Swims, “Lose Control,” Benson Boone, “Beautiful Things” and Ariana Grande, “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love);” in the U.K., Sabrina Carpenter, “Espresso,” Teddy Swims, “Lose Control,” and Dasha, “Austin;” and globally, Benson Boone, “Beautiful Things,” Teddy Swims, “Lose Control” and Beyonce, “Texas Hold ’Em.”
Xperi Senior Vice President of Broadcast Joe D’Angelo said, “Once again, our quarterly list of the Top Most Listened-To Songs In-Vehicle, gathered from active listening data from millions of vehicles around the world equipped with DTS AutoStage, pinpoints not only what is played, but what consumers are actually listening to in their vehicles.”
He added, interestingly, “This quarter, it was especially fascinating to see artists who have achieved initial traction through less conventional music channels — TikTok in the case of Benson Boone, YouTube for Teddy Swims, Disney for Sabrina Carpenter — making their mark globally with in-vehicle listeners, who are also sticking with mega stars Doja Cat, Beyoncé and Ariana Grande.”
