We don’t know about you, but we can hardly believe how quickly this summer has flown by. As the season comes to a close, we're both sad to see it go and excited to finally reveal the answer to one of summer’s biggest questions: What is the Song of the Summer?
Spotify has stepped in to solve this mystery. Using streaming data, insights from their music editorial team, and cultural impact, they’ve compiled the Global Top 5 Songs of Summer.
According to Spotify’s Talia Kraines, “The Songs of Summer we’ve chosen this year truly reflect the diverse sounds our listeners have been enjoying throughout the season and what resonated with them culturally.”
So, without further ado, here are the five songs that defined Summer 2024:
- “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” – Billie Eilish
- “HOT TO GO!” – Chappell Roan
- “Not Like Us” – Kendrick Lamar
- “Espresso” – Sabrina Carpenter
- “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” – Shaboozey
Here at The Beat, we’re not surprised to see tracks like “Espresso” and “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” make the list.
It’s safe to say that we’ve been treated to fantastic music all season long, making Summer 2024 one to remember!
