“Madonna”
Natanael Cano feat. Oscar Maydon
The first of a few corridos tumbados to kick off this year’s list, Cano released Nata Montana in 2023, but spent all of 2024 releasing singles and getting featured on other tracks. By my count, he was on 14 other tracks after this one was released. Man’s got a work ethic, but this single was his best of the year.

“EVERYBODY LIKE”
Kid Cudi feat. Pusha T
I’m a fair-weather fan of Kid Cudi, but Pusha T is in the pantheon of music (and Arby’s commercials). Hearing him pop in on this track when going through Cudi’s new album this year put it on repeat immediately. It’s not the best poetry from either of them ever, but still DRIES SWEATS IN MY ROD LAVERS.

“Rompe La Dompe”
Peso Pluma feat. Junior H and Oscar Maydon
As in “bust out the Dom.” Doble P is my guy. He’s been hit after hit, and he’s getting rewarded for it, already cracking the Top 60 global artists of all-time on Spotify.
