Spotify is today (Aug. 31) revealing its global most-streamed songs of the summer, and to the surprise of no one, Justin Bieber, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's juggernaut "Despacito" reigns supreme.
The smash hit -- which just capped its record-breaking 16th week atop the Hot 100 -- garnered more than 786 million streams on Spotify this summer, specifically between June 21 and August 27. In global streams, "Despacito" is followed by DJ Khaled's "Wild Thoughts" with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller at No. 2, and French Montana's "Unforgettable" at No. 3.
In the U.S., "Despacito" is instead followed by Lil Uzi Vert's "XO TOUR Llif3" at No. 2, with "Wild Thoughts" taking No. 3. Later down the line on both lists are Calvin Harris, Kendrick Lamar, Charlie Puth, Demi Lovato and others.
Spotify's head of Latin culture Rocio Guerrero is calling 2017 "the summer of Latin music," with five Spanish-language songs featured in the global top 30 ranking. That includes Willy William and J Balvin's "Mi Gente," Maluma's "Felices los 4," Danny Ocean's "Me Rehúso,” and both the original “Despacito” and remix featuring Biebs.
Notably, only seven female artists make the global top 30 list, and only three -- Demi Lovato with "Sorry," Rita Ora with "Your Song" and Maggie Lindemann with "Pretty Girls" -- are the main artists, rather than featured guests, on their included tracks.
