In case you need to get Morgan Wallen’s ‘Last Night’ out of your head after just reading the title…

Here’s what the global top 20 ‘Songs of the Summer’ list looks like, according to Spotify:

Spotify notes that Peso Pluma is both a beneficiary and driving force of the música Mexicana genre’s explosion in popularity. They revealed that genre has seen a 430% increase in popularity on Spotify over the past 5 years. Spotify first entered the Mexican market for music streaming back in 2013 so it’s not as if the addition of that region itself caused the explosion in popularity. Peso Pluma has himself seen a massive spike in popularity over the past 6 months.

Peso Pluma’s ‘Ella Baila Sola’ has amassed over 338 million views in 4 months since this video was uploaded to YouTube:

In a press release, Spotify revealed how the movie Barbie was a huge driver of music streaming. Two songs from the film made Spotify’s top 20 list.
