The 2024 Remix Report Card: Final Grades
I've been doing the Remix Report Card since 2007, reviewing somewhere around a thousand remixes, mostly here, but on Noisey from 2014 to 2018 (I'd be happy to publish it elsewhere if anyone ever wants to pay me to do it again). 2023 was the first time I reviewed over 100 remixes in one year, and once again in 2024 I reviewed over 100 remixes of 80-something songs (some songs had two or more remixes). We are, at least from a quantity standpoint, arguably at peak remix, although a greater majority of them are bare minimum effort remixes with one new verse, no change to the production, no video, no DJ spins, just padding out the promo rollout with empty calorie features. Let's restore the feeling! More remixes that actually matter!
NLE Choppa guested on 6 remixes and Flo Milli guested on 5 (really they're tied, because Flo Milli is also on the remix of "Embrace It" by Ndotz that just came out last week, which I won't cover in this column until the first 2025 edition). Trina was on 3 remixes, and I think those are the only artists that guested on more than 2 remixes this year.
Here's the Spotify playlist of every remix I reviewed in 2024, and the columns from this year where I wrote about all of these tracks: Vol. 1, 2, 3, and 4. Let's work it out on the remix, as they say.
