It’s always hard to quantify an objective Song of the Summer, but Spotify has crunched some numbers and calculated how many times the biggest pop hits were streamed this summer, at least. The company released its list of the most popular songs from this past season, and in a bit of a shock, Lil Nas X’s juggernaut “Old Town Road” did not take the top spot.
Instead, the top honors went to “Señorita,” the fiery collaboration between Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. To be fair to the horses in the back, though, Spotify’s list criteria defined “summer” very narrowly, as the time from June 1 to Aug. 20. Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” remix first lit up the internet all the way back in April, so some of the momentum had worn off by the time Spotify started counting. But it still managed to snag the No. 4 spot on the list.
