Drake dominates Spotify summer list

- —Variety

Spotify has revealed its 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 Aug. 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.

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 poprock anthem “Youngblood” and Ariana Grande’s “No Tears Left to Cry.”

Latin jam “Te Bote – Remix” has also emerged as a top summer track globally, led by newcomer Nio Garcia, a Puerto Rican dancer-turned-rapper.

In addition, the catchy 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.
