2018'S SUMMER SIZZLERS

With summer just around the corner, the bids for this year's song of the summer are in. Spotify and Apple Music both weighed in with an unsurprising consensus on some top hits and a couple audibles thrown in from each.

Both streameries selected their contenders based off metrics like the song's momentum, its engagement on their key playlists, chart performance and good ol' intuition among other factors.
