Pandora has released its Top Thumb Hundred for 2021, which is a yearly ranking of Pandora users’ favorite songs, and Pandora listeners adore Cardi B.
The megastar singer topped Pandora’s Top Thumb Hundred for the second year in a running, highlighted by her GRAMMY-nominated #1 smash, “Up.” Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” was the most-thumbed song on Pandora last year. Cardi’s presence is felt everywhere on this year’s list as a featured artist on Normani’s “Wild Side” (#18) and Lizzo’s “Rumors” (#85), in addition to remaining at the top of the chart for 2021.
Pandora users “thumb” songs to assist in personalizing their listening experience. With over 100 billion generated by users (and counting), Pandora’s thumbs are a unique barometer for what’s hot in music right now.
Drake has the most spots on the 2021 rankings with 9 tracks. 4 of those singles are in the top 20. “Way 2 Sexy (feat. Future & Young Thug)” comes in at #8, with “Knife Talk (feat. 21 Savage & Project Pat),” “What’s Next,” and “Girls Want Girls (feat. Lil Baby)” ranking at #10, #12 and #13, respectively.
