Summer in Brazil is a time for enjoying sunshine and warm weather, but that's only the start. Running from December to March, it's also a time to celebrate holidays like Christmas, New Years, and Carnival. And as the festivities unfolded this year, music fans across the country turned to Spotify to soundtrack the fun.
Throughout the season, listeners in Brazil streamed a diverse blend of laid-back sounds, high-energy anthems, and future classics from some of the country's top artists. Now that the season is over, we took a closer look at our data to find out which tracks emerged as Brazil's Songs of Summer.
Headlined by Mar lia Mendon a's Le o -which solidified the late singer's legacy as the Queen of Ver o -these are the 10 hits that Brazilians streamed the most on Spotify this summer:

Sertanejo leads the most-listened-to Songs of Summer on Spotify M sica sertaneja, a genre originating from the rural areas of Brazil, generated the most Spotify streams of any genre in Brazil during the summer months. Other popular genres from this time period include funk carioca, arrocha, and dance pop.
