The singer was meant to perform at the Utilita Arena on Saturday as part of his ‘American Heart’ World Tour, and shared on his Instagram story that the show needed to be rescheduled.

His statement said, “I am so sorry but I will not be able to perform tonight, I have tried everything I can to revive my voice, but I cannot give you the show I’d like to be able to give you with the condition of my throat right now.”

He continued by saying, “This is genuinely the crappiest feeling, I am so sorry, I promise you I will do everything in my power to make it up to you. I’ll update you guys as soon as I can. Thank you for everything you do. I love you guys so much.”

The venue also released a statement confirming the concert was cancelled and that they were “working through all possible options to reschedule.”

“We understand how disappointing this is and sincerely apologise for the extremely short notice and inconvenience caused.”

The cancellation of the show comes a few days after the singer performed in Glasgow, and videos circulated on TikTok with Benson Boone complaining about his voice.

Other TikTok videos recorded after the concert in Glasgow show a member of his team informing the crowd that he couldn’t speak to them as he is ill and he would be examined by a doctor.

“As you guys know, Benson is a little ill. He can’t say a single word. He has to go and see a doctor tomorrow so that he can perform in Birmingham.”

“He’ll come out and wave at you guys. He can’t sign anything or take personal pictures. I told him we weren’t even going to come out here but you know how he is, he is nicer than I am. He wants to make sure he acknowledges you guys. But, he has to save his voice.”

Noah Kahan‘s 2022 hit ‘Stick Season‘ takes the number one spot for the biggest song of 2024, in the same year where Kahan performed sold out shows at Wembley Arena and was announced as a headliner for next year’s BST Hyde Park. The song was originally released as the lead single of Kahan’s critically acclaimed album ‘Stick Season‘, which peaked at number one on UK charts and has so far spent 81 weeks charting; the song ‘Stick Season’ first debuted on charts in mid-October of 2023 and eventually peaked at number one in January, claiming the title for seven weeks! It is currently Kahan’s only single to achieve the number one position. According to Official Charts, Kahan’s single produced 35,000 sales and 217 million streams, making it the biggest song of the year!

Second is Benson Boone‘s rock ballad ‘Beautiful Things‘, which took nine weeks of climbing charts to achieve the number one position, but eventually did and maintained the spot for two weeks. Boone first gained attention on TikTok, then auditioned for a talent show and gained a sold fanbase; ‘Beautiful Things’ is the artist’s first ever song to achieve the number one position in the UK, but that is not to say Boone is a one-hit wonder: his album debuted at number 16 in the UK, and the single ‘Slow It Down’ reached the fourteenth position. With 1.79 charts units, Benson Boone wins a well-deserved second place on the list of biggest songs of the year.

On the podium at third place, we have chart-topper queen Sabrina Carpenter, who spent 21 weeks at number one. The song that wins third place is ‘Espresso’, one of the highest charting song about coffee ever; ‘Espresso‘ was the lead single off of Carpenter’s album ‘Short n Sweet‘. Originally released in April, ‘Espresso’ took about a month to make its way to number one and claimed the position for seven weeks. With 1.75 charts units, it is one of three songs by Carpenter that made it to the biggest songs of the year list: the others are ‘Please Please Please'(10)  and ‘Taste’ (21).

At number four is Teddy Swims ‘Lose Control‘, which peaked at number two and charted for sixty weeks in the top 100. It counts 67,000 downloads this year and is the artist’s highest charting song, followed by ‘The Door’ at number five and ‘Bad Dreams’ at number six. ‘Lose Control’ was a single off the album ‘I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy‘, Teddy Swim’s first release under a major label, which peaked at number twelve in the UK spending fifty weeks on charts.

Number five goes to Hozier, who achieved his first number one single with viral hit ‘Too Sweet‘, released as part of his fifth EP ‘Unheard‘. Hozier first climbed the UK charts in 2015 with ‘Take Me To Church’ which failed to achieve the top spot of chart peaking at number two. With ‘Too Sweet’, Hozier spent two weeks at number one and another 39 in the UK top 100.
