Various studies conducted this year have sought out to prove why summer music has such a lasting impression.
Regardless as to the why, it just does. And Spotify has rolled out its top songs of Summer 2018 in playlist format and the tallies are huge.
Unsurprisingly coming in first place was Drake’s “In My Feelings,” whose viral dance challenge propelled it to be streamed more than 393 million times between June 1 and August 20. The Cardi B-featured “Girls Like You” came in second place with 293 million streams, while her own record-breaking “I Like It” (which featured J Balvin and Bad Bunny) came in a close third with more than 289 million streams.
Rap stars such as the late XXXTENTACION, Post Malone, Juice WRLD and also helped shape up the top 20.
“Juice WRLD is undoubtedly the breakout star of the summer,” Carl Chery, Spotify’s Head of Urban Music, says. “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.”

Is anyone surprised?
Well, “In My Feelings” has spent seven weeks at no. 1 and doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere for the foreseeable future
Nearly 400 million streams..
Drake is a legend!
n da GOAT too
Wish X was this popular when he was alive..
Drizzy with the W
“House on both coasts but i live on the charts”
Drake in the running for the greatest artist who ever walked on earth.
Pressed stans In They Feelings and they don’t know when it’s gonna stop
Drake keep blocking that trash cardi b
Amen bruh! bitch couldn’t rap to save her life, the worst female rapper I’ve ever seen/heard period lol
My boyfriend Drizzy Drake for the win. Why isn’t Pusha T on here? Oh yeah, because he tried to go at the GOAT but it ended up completely backfiring on him. He flopped on the charts, along with all the other Kanye/GOOD albums, and had to slice his tour in half. Drake will always be #1 and won’t be stopped ever. His concerts keep selling out in every city. I fangirled like crazy when I saw his handsome face on stage last week. Oh my gosh, he almost slapped my hand but he’ll get me next time. 😉
Watch Nicki come out of nowhere to shit on Travis (and whatever little Kardashian he smashing) ‘cause she ain’t on it lmfao
Drake rocking hard with Virgil and trav. These dudes didn’t even flinch when ye dropped. Virgil not feeling Kanye these days by the looks
