2024 is nearly over, and we didn’t want to miss out on the fun of reflecting on the year’s best.

So, here’s our “Wrapped” – a look back at the artists and songs that we’ve loved on 96five!

Top Artists of 2024

These artists brought us joy, hope, and encouragement through their music. Here are our most-played artists this year:

1. For King & Country: Always inspiring with their powerful lyrics and dynamic sound – also who can forget their epic Brisbane concert in June?
2. Lauren Daigle: Honestly, we can’t get enough of Lauren Daigle – her soul-stirring voice continues to uplift us.
3. Apollo LTD: From ‘Soul Worth Saving’ to ‘Patient’ to ‘Future’s Calling’ – we’ve been cranking Apollo LTD on 96five.
4. We Are Messengers: Their heartfelt anthems have been on repeat, you could say we’ve played them ‘A Thousand Times’.
5. NEEDTOBREATHE: ‘Hideaway’ and ‘When You Forgive Someone’ have been some of our favourite songs in 2024 but with so many great songs like ‘Hang On’, ‘Brother’ and ‘Hard Love with Lauren Daigle’, it makes sense why they’re in our top artists.

Top Songs of 2024

If these songs had a trophy shelf, they’d be full! Here’s what you’ve been singing along to the most on 96five.

1. ‘Gonna Be Good’ – Taya: Our most played song on 96five for 2024 is a reminder that if God cares for the birds and flowers, He surely cares for us.
2. ‘A Thousand Times’ – We Are Messengers: A soul-baring track about grace and redemption that Brisbane belted out at our sold out We Are Messengers concert earlier this year.
3. ‘Good Day’ – Forrest Frank: A newcomer to the Christian music scene but we have a feeling with catchy songs like ‘Good Day’ and ‘Always’, it won’t be the last time Forrest Frank tops our list.
4. ‘Never’ – Tasha Layton: A testament to unwavering hope and faith. We’ve loved belting this one out.
5. ‘Counting My Blessings’ – Seph Schlueter: A song that went viral on social media and turns out we loved it too!

As 2024 comes to a close, we’re grateful to share the music that resonates with you and makes life a little brighter.
