"What's the song of the summer?" Every year this question is fiercely debated with no clear outcome... unless it's determined by a computer algorithm. According to Spotify, this year the answer is Drake's "One Dance."
Spotify released two playlists, "U.S. Top 10 Songs of the Summer" and "Global Top 10 Songs of the Summer," that tally the most-streamed songs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. "One Dance" came out on top on both lists. Rihanna also had a strong showing, and Desiigner, Justin Timberlake, and Ty Dolla $ign made appearances as well.
