GloRilla‘s hit single “TGIF” has been crowned ‘Best Song of the Year’ by TIME in their annual year-end list.
Published on Monday (December 9), the publication noted that the songs “were selected with our list of the 10 Best Albums of 2024 in mind, so to showcase a greater range of music, no artists appear on both.”
Among songs like Beyoncé‘s “Riiverdance,” Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” and Kehlani‘s “After Hours,” Big Glo holds down the top spot for her single-ladies anthem.
“For GloRilla, being single is a supernatural experience,” reporter and critic Stephen Kearse writes of the track. “When the Memphis rapper isn’t in a relationship, she’s not just free from headaches and responsibilities; she’s powered up, unstoppable, glowing. She spends ‘TGIF’ toasting to this enhanced state over seismic bass kicks and a cinematic horn loop that brings to mind Godzilla ascending from the Pacific.
GloRilla’s banner year has her topping multiple year-end lists, and Billboard recently named the Memphis native as the hottest female rapper in the game for 2024.
Noting that she suffered a bit of a sophomore slump in 2023 after singles like the Fivio Foreign-assisted “Cha Cha” failed to hit like her breakout songs “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” and “Tomorrow 2” the year prior, Billboard highlights how she “made a triumphant comeback and reclaimed her mojo when she struck gold with ‘Yeah Glo!’ at the top of 2024.”
