In a surprise to no one, hip-hop ruled the summer. Looking at the new Songs of The Summer chart from Spotify, we see that a rapper appears on all 20 of the streaming services top summer songs.

Pure hip-hop tracks rule the top five, with Drake’s “In My Feelings” coming in as the official Spotify song of the summer. Cardi B makes two appearances in the top 20, once as a leading artist with her smash “I Like It,” as well as a featured artist on Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You.” As an aside, this is empirical proof that we were lucky enough to live through another Cardi B summer.

Unsurprisingly, Drake contributes to eight out of the 20 tracks. As a win for newcomers, Chicago’s Juice WRLD has both of his breakout singles landing on the chart. As a win for rappers we’ve counted out, Tyga secures the seventh spot with his career-reviving single, “Taste.” It’s summer 2018, and dreams really do come true.

From these charts, we can learn two things: One, hip-hop continues to eclipse all elements of popular culture and two: rappers are the future.
