Although summer technically goes on for another month, Spotify has decided to reveal the songs the world has been listening to the most over the past few months. The streaming platform’s Songs Of The Summer, both global and U.S., and Podcasts of Summer lists are based on data collected from June 1 – Aug. 15.
In both the United States and around the globe, DaBaby‘s “Rockstar” (featuring Roddy Ricch) is the most streamed song this summer. In the U.S. alone, the track has over 614 million streams.
“I knew ‘Rockstar’ was going to be a HIT while I was creating the record,” DaBaby says in an announcement. “But to watch the world make it into a GLOBAL HIT is an amazing feeling. GOD IS GREAT!”
Along with DaBaby, The Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights,” Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande‘s “Rain On Me” and Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar” are included in the top 10 of Spotify’s global list.
Spotify has also revealed which songs the United States has been jamming out to most this summer. Although the list is relatively similar to the global list, there are a few differences.

Late rapper Juice WRLD doesn’t appear on the global list. However, he appears three separate times on the U.S. list. “Wishing Well,” “Come & Go” with Marshemello and “Righteous” all appear within the top 20 most streamed songs in the United States. As well, Kid Cudi and Travis Scott‘s latest collab “THE SCOTTS” ranks at No.8 on the U.S. list.
Spotify also unveiled the top streamed podcasts this summer. Michelle Obama‘s podcast earns the top spot globally while Harry Potter At Home: Readings and Crime Junkie are also ranked in the top 10.
