As the summer winds down, Spotify looks to quantify the official 'songs of summer 2017' and have released their annual list. Of course, a true "song of the summer" cannot be crowned merely based on massive streaming numbers; one must factor the cultural impact and a variety of nuanced impactors. But still, the list is intriguing none the less, especially as competitors like Apple Music keep their streaming numbers a private matter.
Topping both the Global and American list is the massive 'Despacito' remix with Justin Bieber by Daddy Yankee & Luis Fonsi. While the global list is mostly filled with pop artists, the American list is dominated with Hip Hop, with appearances from 21 Savage, Lil Uzi Vert, Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, and more. Check out the full lists below.
