The beginning of summer is exactly one month away, but school years are winding down, and warmer weather has everyone, including Spotify, thinking about the season ahead.
To kick things off, the music streaming giant released its predictions for the top songs of summer 2025, and it's an eclectic mix. The global list consists of 30 songs from various genres, including afro-fusion, pop, dance rave and lowkey tunes from artists ranging from Charli xcx and Drake to Lorde and Florence + The Machine.
Spotify uses "cultural expertise, editorial instinct, and streaming data" to curate its Songs of Summer list, which has proven to be fairly accurate in the past, including predicting Billie Eilish's "BIRDS OF A FEATHER," Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" and Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" would make the 2024 list.
Check out Spotify's 2025 predictions below.
Top music genres of summer 2025 predicted by Spotify
Spotify editors noted the popular global spread of afro-fusion, with songs like 'Show Me Love (with Tyla)' by WizTheMc, bees & honey and Tyla, and 'YA BABA' by DYSTINCT and French Montana.
On the pop frontier, what Spotify described as lyric-driven "lovestruck pop" is expected to make streaming charts with tracks like 'Ordinary,' 'Blue Strips' and 'back to friends' by breakout artists Alex Warren, Jessie Murph and sombr.
Summer partiers will probably be playing high-speed dance and rave hits like 'Running Around' by Ely Oaks and 'Say My Name - Remix' by Morgan Seatree & Florence + The Machine, while lazier summer days are expected to be soundtracked by "hazy" and chill beats like "No One Noticed' by The Marías and 'You'll Be in My Heart - Spotify Singles' by NIKI.
