OAKLAND, CA \u2014 December 15, 2021 \u2014 Pandora today revealed its 2021 Top Thumb Hundred, the annual ranking of the most-loved songs by Pandora listeners, and one thing is clear: Pandora listeners love Cardi B.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the second year in a row, the megastar artist took the top spot on Pandora\u2019s Top Thumb Hundred, led by her GRAMMY-nominated #1 hit, \u201cUp.\u201d Last year, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s \u201cWAP\u201d seized Pandora\u2019s #1 most-thumbed spot. In addition to maintaining her place atop the chart for 2021, Cardi\u2019s presence is felt elsewhere on this year\u2019s list as a featured artist on \u201cWild Side\u201d by Normani (#18) and \u201cRumors\u201d by Lizzo (#85).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Only Pandora lets users \u201cthumb\u201d songs to create a personalized listening experience that evolves with their taste and preferences. By tapping the thumbs-up icon when they hear a song they like (or thumbs-down when they don\u2019t), listeners enable Pandora\u2019s recommendation technology to serve up the perfect songs for each user and every moment. With over 100 billion generated by users (and counting), Pandora\u2019s thumbs are a unique barometer for what\u2019s hot in music right now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Drake has claimed the most spots in 2021\u2019s rankings with 9 tracks – 4 of which made the top 20. His single \u201cWay 2 Sexy (feat. Future & Young Thug)\u201d comes in at #8, with \u201cKnife Talk (feat. 21 Savage & Project Pat),\u201d \u201cWhat\u2019s Next,\u201d and \u201cGirls Want Girls (feat. Lil Baby)\u201d ranking at #10, #12 and #13, respectively. Megan Thee Stallion put up 5 songs on this year\u2019s list, while Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo scored 4.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Adele, who has made the list in the past, returns this year with \u201cEasy On Me.\u201d Doja Cat appears with her GRAMMY-nominated tracks \u201cKiss Me More\u201d and \u201cNeed To Know,\u201d and Ed Sheeran\u2019s dancefloor-friendly smash \u201cBad Habits\u201d broke the top 20. And new to the Top Thumb Hundred is pop-country crossover favorite Walker Hayes with his GRAMMY-nominated \u201cFancy Like.\u201d<\/div>\n
