Spotify Crowns “Ella Baila Sola” Global Song of the Summer, Only One Rap Track Makes List
There’s a lot of variety on Spotify’s top 20 Songs of Summer, ranging from reggaeton darling Bad Bunny, to K-pop sensation Jung Kook from BTS with Latto, along with several of the usual chart darlings like Taylor Swift, SZA, Harry Styles, Olivia Rodrigo, and Dua Lipa.
But the global chart’s only rap entry in the top 20 is the viral hit “Sprinter” by British MCs Dave and Central Cee.
The platform’s U.S. chart paints a slightly different picture. More rappers make appearances, including Gunna, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Durk with J. Cole, and Nicki Minaj with Ice Spice. The top spot is occupied by “Last Night” by Morgan Wallen, making it the first time a country song is Spotify’s most-streamed track in the U.S. for the summer.
