As Google Trends data suggests, people aren't necessarily rallying around a particular song of the summer this year, as they have in the past.
The big picture: If last summer boasted an abundance of refrains — "that's that me espresso," "they not like us," "good luck, babe" — this summer is all crickets, trends data suggests.
Driving the news: Spotify editors rounded up a list of songs they say "collectively defined the season across the Northern Hemisphere."
- According to Spotify data, summer 2025 was the least danceable and lowest-energy summer for music, based on the tempos, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overall regularity of its top tracks.
Zoom in: The audio streaming service shared with Axios how those songs fared with Miami listeners.
Yes, but: The lack of any Bad Bunny makes us seriously question whether this list accurately reflects Miami's music taste.
Anyways, here's how Spotify's five picks ranked among Miami listeners.
