CYRIL, The Kid LAROI Dominate Spotify’s Australian Music Global Impact Tally
It’s official: CYRIL was killing it in 2024.
The rising electronic music producer and DJ lands three tracks in the top 30 of Spotify’s Australian Music Global Impact List, including the No. 1 with his remix of Disturbed’s “The Sound Of Silence”.
Published today, Spotify Australia’s list sees CYRIL (real name: Cyril Riley) also appear at No. 18 with his remix of “The Door” by Teddy Swims, and “Fall at Your Feet” with Dean Lewis at No. 24.
“I’m incredibly honoured to have three tracks featured on the Spotify Global Impact List, including a No. 1 spot, alongside so many talented artists,” comments CYRIL in a statement.
“It makes me proud that my music can show the world that Australians aren’t here to f*** spiders.”
Capturing the full calendar year 2024, the streamer’s list recognises the top 30 tracks from Aussie artists making the biggest impact on Spotify’s global networks, but not including Australia.
Golden oldies need not apply. Only works released between January 1st and December 31st, 2024 are eligible for the list.
“I’ve always wanted to show the world just how incredible Aussie music is,” adds CYRIL, “so topping the Global Impact List alongside so many idols of mine is absolutely unreal. None of this would’ve been possible without the support of Spotify Australia not just locally, but on a global scale.”

After snagging several ARIA Awards in 2024, and a top 10 appearance on triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown, Royel Otis place high on the list with two covers, “Linger” (at No. 5) and “Murder on the Dancefloor” (No. 11).
Kevin Parker’s Tame Impala scored a first-up Grammy Award earlier this month with “Neverender”, a collaboration with French electronic music outfit Justice. The good times keep coming as “Neverender” appears at No. 10 on Spotify’s list, ahead of “One Night/All Night”, another Tame Impala pairing with Justice, at No. 14.
Electronic music artists fare well, including Timmy Trumpet with a brace, and FISHER.
“Spotify’s Australian Music Global Impact List continues to provide a fantastic snapshot of the power of a borderless music industry, breaking down the local acts making a big impact overseas,” comments Spotify Australia Artist & Label Partnership Lead, Leah Harris.
The latest edition of the list “demonstrates that both established and emerging acts are building overseas audiences through Spotify, a crucial part of building sustainable careers in music.”
Spotify claims to be the world’s leading audio streaming subscription service with more than 675 million users, including 263 million subscribers in more than 180 markets.
Last month, the streaming giant announced it had paid out $10 billion to the music industry, an all-time high and the highest annual payment to the music industry from any single retailer.
