Best of 2024 (So Far): The WDET Midyear Playlist

2024 has already been a huge year in music for WDET. We added seven new music shows and brought in deep-rooted Detroit artists like Waajeed, Liz Warner and Kaleigh Wilder to host. We also added longtime WDET contributor Jeff Milo to our weekly lineup, making sure you hear more Michigan music on our airwaves than ever before.

To mark the 2024 halfway point, we asked our music hosts (old and new) to share their top five tracks from the year so far. Below, you’ll find a mega mix of genre-defying, homegrown and groove-forward tracks. A little something for everybody. So turn up your speaker, press play and enjoy.
