Summer is finally over and it’s safe to say that as far as Hip-Hop is concerned, we didn’t have a dope “song of the summer.” It don’t mean there were no songs that did really well though.
Streaming giant, Spotify has released its official list of songs that were streamed the most globally and in the United States on their platform during the season. Topping the list globally is Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello’s smash ‘Señorita’. With more than 565 million streams since its June release, the song has been on the top for eight straight weeks.
‘I Don’t Care’ by Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber comes in second, followed by ‘bad guy’ by Billie Eilish. Lil Nas X, Post Malone, Khalid, Lil Tecca, Drake and Lizzoround up rest of the global list.
In the US, Lil Tecca’s ‘Ransom’ was the most streamed song on Spotify. The platform was quick to see its potential from the early days and after its inclusion on multiple playlists, the song consistently grew in momentum. It eventually ended up being a top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit for the young rapper. Drake, Lil Nax X, Lizzo, Chris Brown, Young Thug, J. Cole, Tyler The Creator and Lil Tjay are some of the other artistes who make the list.
