We’re mercifully still a couple of weeks away from Labor Day, which means it's just about time for TikTok to proclaim its Songs of the Summer.
The U.S. version of that list is led by Tommy Richman’s “MILLION DOLLAR BABY,” while the platform’s global Top 10 is headed by FloyyMenor & Cris Mj’s “Gata Only.” Richman’s breakthrough hit actually figures prominently on both lists, as do Billie Eilish’s “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please.”
Other songs saluted stateside include Tinashe's "Nasty," newcomer ian's "Magic Johnson" and Kendrick Lamar's Drake diss track "Not Like Us."
“The Songs of the Summer list is proof that both new and emerging artists of every genre, from anywhere in the world, can connect with over a billion music fans on TikTok every day, build their careers and impact music culture," said TikTok Global Head of Music Business Development Ole Obermann.
