Drake’s hit song, “In My Feelings,” tops Spotify’s global rankings of the most streamed songs this summer, with 393 million streams between the beginning of June and the end of August.
The season belonged to the Canadian rapper, who also had four other songs in the top 20, including “God’s Plan” and “Nice For What.” But he wasn’t the only dominant performer to own the streaming service this summer.
Breakout hip-hop artist Cardi B nabbed the second and third spots, with her feature on Maroon 5’s, “Girls Like You,” barely topping her “I Like It” single from her debut albums. The Wrap writes that together, the two songs racked up more than 580 million streams this summer.

Rapper Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” came in fourth. Carl Chery, Spotify’s head of urban music, in a blog post, wrote that the rapper was the “breakout star of the summer.” XXXTentacion, who was killed in June, was in fifth with “Sad!”
