We listen to a lot of music in a given year, so for a song to be called a “favorite” has to pass a big threshold. We hemmed and hawed, but we picked our favorites of 2024, and now we’re playing them on the radio and talking about why they stuck for us. Hear KUTX staffers’ favorite songs of 2024 this Saturday at 6 p.m. or listen anytime right here.
