Bad Bunny, Karol G, more Spanish-language artists dominate Spotify's most streamed songs of summer
Spotify released its 2022 Songs of Summer lists Wednesday, which show the top 20 songs listeners had on repeat between May 29 and Aug. 29, both in the U.S. and globally.
And Spanish-language music came out on top. Ten of the 20 most streamed summer songs globally were in Spanish, and six of the most streamed summer songs in the U.S. follow suit.
While Harry Styles' "As It Was" came out on top as the most streamed song this summer globally, Bad Bunny had the top Spanish song on the list with "Me Porto Bonito" featuring Chencho Corleone at No. 3. Bad Bunny had a total of seven songs on the list from his latest "Un Verano Sin Ti" album.

More artists leading this summer of music in Spanish include Colombian stars Karol G and Shakira, and Puerto Rican reggaeton artists Rauw Alejandro and Jhay Cortez, who each had songs that charted on Spotify's global summer list.
Bad Bunny's dominance on these lists shouldn't come as a surprise. The "Un Verano Sin Ti" emcee has been the most streamed artist on Spotify for the past two years, Spotify trend host Lea Palmieri previously told USA TODAY.
