Top Summer Hits

For many people, summer isn’t complete without a playlist that captures the season’s vibes. Music makes everything more fun, like when you're hanging out with your friends or going on a car ride with all the windows down. Songs help set the tone and help you remember great times from summer, like playing outside and barbequing in your backyard. But the big question is: what is going to be THE 2026 summer song?

This summer, there are a lot of songs that will fight to take the number one summer spot. As the summer begins, music fans are already searching for the next song that will be in everyone's playlist, playing at the beach and in tiktok feeds.  There are a lot of popular songs and artists who have been making some great music that could define the season. Some of the most popular artists this summer are  Drake, Olivia Dean, Sabrina Carpenter, Zach Bryan, Dave, Olivia Rodrigo, and Zara Larsson. There are so many songs that could be named the top hits such as “Raindance” by Dave and Tems, “hate that I made you love me” by Arianna Grande, “What did I miss” By Drake, “Choosin Texas” By Ella Langley, and “Midnight Sun" by Zara Larson. 

One artist who has some of the greatest songs is Drake. He just recently broke the record for the most No. 1 songs by a solo male artist after releasing 3 new albums on May 15th, “Iceman”, “Habibiti”, and “Maid Of Honour.” These albums have a bunch of songs that are becoming very popular which means one of them could be the new summer song. 

I think that the summer song is going to be “Raindance” by Dave and Tems because it became popular very quickly and many people are listening to it which will bring it into summer. The song is all over tiktok which could make it the number one song. It's hard to name one single song to be “the summer song" because everyone has a different taste in music. Some people will say Pop is better and others will say Country is better. It's all based on your own opinion, but I’m excited to see what song will become the staple as the number one hit summer song!
