Just like your 2024 Spotify Wrapped, Tatler Hong Kong looked back at the best songs released this year in the city—will your favourite canto-pop singer or indie musician be in it?
For people born in Hong Kong, raised in Hong Kong or who now call Hong Kong home, 2024 has been a year rich in musical releases. Without many surprises, Canto-pop has dominated the city’s charts, whether it’s with boy band Mirror’s latest releases, The Last Dance’s original movie soundtracks by Terence Lam or Kiri T’s melancholic You Gotta Screw Up At Least Once (至少做一件離譜的事).
