Here you will find the top 20 tracks the people around the world have spent their Summer nights jamming out to and their days getting through work and school. It's a great insight into the mainstream tastes of 2018 as we get into the last quarter of the year. Spotify Songs Of The Summer Off the bat, it's no surprise that Drake comes in at #1 both globally and nationally – “In My Feelings” became an instant hit even before the drop of Drake's fifth studio album Scorpion. You'll also find an additional five tracks from the album have also made it on the list. Cardi B also holds down a slot high on both lists with perhaps her best-received track to date, “I Like It” which of course continues the ongoing popularity of Spanish lyrics and styling in popular music over the last couple of years, especially thanks to Bad Bunny and J Balvin. The track was also just selected at the VMA's as the song of the summer, leaving no doubt of it's popularity. It is also worth mentioning Juice WRLD's “Lucid Dreams” coming in high on the list. The rapper/singer/songwriter has been compared to Lil Uzi Vert in terms of style and sound and his track continues an interesting trend in the emo-hip hop genre. Tiesto and Calvin Harris Represent EDM Other noteworthy items include Post Malone's millionth straight week with a song on the charts (we kid, but the man is on fire), XXXTentacion's ongoing domination, and an entry from Kanye West after a long dormant period. In terms of global differentiation from the states – EDM weaves its way more largely into popular music abroad with the massively popular Tiesto remix of “Jackie Chan” by Preme and Post Malone, Calvin Harris' and Dua Lupa's “One Kiss” which has been a prominently remixed track this Summer, and Jonas Blue's smooth heartfelt, “Rise”. It also proves interesting that Ariana Grande has hit more popularity abroad than here in the states with two of her tracks on the global list but absent in the US. Whatever your tastes, there is no doubting the massive draw these artists have created in popular culture. Take a listen for yourself and make a few more memories before Summer fades into Fall.

Spotify has revealed its official Songs of the Summer chart, and in a not-shocking development Drake’s “In My Feelings” topped the list both globally and in the U.S., with more than 393 million streams between June 1 and August 20. Globally, the No.2 and No. 3 songs both featured Cardi B: Maroon 5’s ballad “Girls Like You” came in second with around 293 million streams, while the sassy rapper’s own “I Like It” (featuring J Balvin and Bad Bunny) came in a close third with more than 289 million streams. SoundCloud rap claimed the next two slots In the U.S., with Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” and the late XXXTentacion’s “Sad!” coming in at No. 2 and No. 3 in the country respectively (and Nos. 4 and 5 globally). Cardi’s “I Like It” is right behind, but the Maroon 5 track is at No. 11. “Juice WRLD is undoubtedly the breakout star of the summer,” says Carl Chery, Spotify’s Head of Urban Music. “His rise was one of the quickest in recent memory but his music has proven to have staying power. His knack for melodies and his willingness to be vulnerable on songs like ‘Lucid Dreams’ connected with his audience in a real way.” The list also includes “One Kiss” by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa and “Solo” by Clean Bandit, featuring Demi Lovato as well as 5 Seconds of Summer’s pop-rock anthem “Youngblood” and Ariana Grande’s “No Tears Left to Cry.” Latin jam “Te Boté – Remix” has also emerged as a top summer track globally, led by newcomer Nio Garcia, a Puerto Rican dancer-turned-rapper (the track also features artists Casper Magico, Darrell, Ozuna, Bad Bunny and Nicky Jam). Summer lists are often a telling predictor of the final year-end lists — and it’ll take a monster hit to steal 2018 from Drake and Cardi B.
