Last month, Spotify's annual Songs of Summer predictions made their return, and fans have rallied around the anthems they can't get enough of. Some have been working late ( 'cuz they're a singer), while plenty have been feeling so Julia. Meanwhile, others have been looking for someone to match their freak.
Now, for the first time ever, we're giving you a midsummer update that reveals the top 15 songs from our original list, along with five new wild card songs. These updated predictions reflect our final contenders for the Song of Summer as we approach the end of the season.
Backed by Spotify data and cultural buzz, and hand-picked by our global team of editors, our wild cards were either released after we made our initial predictions, or they've experienced a recent spike in global streams. Wild card track 360 by Charli xcx, for example, has experienced an 80% increase in U.S. streams in the past month, while streams of HOT TO GO! by Chappell Roan have spiked 110% globally on Spotify.

Over the last year, we've seen increased popularity of dance and Afro house globally, and summer is the perfect time for these songs to cross over into the mainstream.
Move' has been an undeniable hit this summer and an obvious choice for our editors as one of our wild card additions, said Luisa Kristen, Senior Editor, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland at Spotify. The song features the perfect recipe of beautiful Afro house production, earwormy melody, and pop lyricism-sounds that tend to thrive with listeners in warmer weather globally.
Luisa also noted that in the last few weeks, the song has charted all around the world across many parts of Europe, the U.K., and the U.S. It drove record streams for the German group globally on its release day and was recently added to Today's Top Hits-a monumental achievement for German artists and the Afro house genre overall.
Stumblin' In, which was released in November 2023, is also a strong example of how a song can have an extensive lifespan, cross borders, and experience a cultural resurgence during different moments of the year. It highlights the power of Spotify-our editors have tested it in various playlists, and since its release, it has grown and reached new listeners around the world.
Tinashe's Nasty also surged during the first two weeks of the Songs of Summer predictions reveal, both globally and in the U.S. Since then, the song has seen over a 110% increase in streams globally and in the U.S.
Celebrating 2024's Songs of Summer To continue the summer fun, we hosted our 2024 Songs of Summer event in Brooklyn this week, featuring electric performances from two of our contenders, Tinashe and Tommy Richman.

The success of MILLION DOLLAR BABY' was unprecedented amongst myself and everyone in our crew, Tommy said. We built the foundation for our artistry but were caught off guard how fast things caught on. We are eternally grateful and honored to be named one of Spotify's Songs of Summer.
Notable guests at the intimate rooftop bash included SNL's Chris Redd, artist Tayla Parx, Harry Daniels, Grace O'Malley, Noah Miller, Maurice Kamara, Zach Lugo, Antoni Bumba, Joe Ando, and Eric Sede o.
Sephora partnered with Spotify to add a dynamic touch by setting up an engaging 360-degree video booth to capture the night's highlights. This activation also provided guests with unique and shareable moments to amplify on their social channels.
While the list has been narrowed down, the race for 2024's Song of Summer is still red-hot. Be sure to check back next month, when we'll reveal our final 2024 Songs of Summer track list.
