:D

It really should be Ariana tbh

"boo'd up" is fantastic

Ariana

yeah boo'd up is the answer, a lush, sunny, windows-down jam. pretty remarkable that it's mustard on the beat. what a delightfully unexpected departure from his signature style.

Are we voting for what song we think will dominate the summer, or what song we like the most?

Nice For What

which is not only my favorite on this list but also the song I feel could've been the song of the summer if Pusha didn't vaporize Drake yesterday.

Maybe. But I feel like the people who really like that song, don't really care about rap beefs.

Also, I'm laughing at the inclusion of Zombie on there.

Same.

That feels like something that's on the list purely based on numbers and stats, and not on feel at all.

Maybe. But I feel like the people who really like that song, don't really care about rap beefs.

true, but feels like the Pusha diss is going to hang over Drake and any conversation about him for a while. like, how is he going to respond?

hopefully by never rapping again

lmao

A little early for "song of the summer" predictions(?)

Despite fielding extra players, that team still lacks both width and pace. Might do alright in the MLS but in a serious league these lads overall lack of quality is going to get them found out

boo'd up lifts me up

sangria wine is a terrible song title. sangria by definition contains wine. just fuckin' call the song sangria, please.

― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili)

clearly pharrell wanted to differentiate himself from the art zoyd song

Toadilly AJR. That is a jam!!!

Welp, summer is ruined everybody. We can try again next year.

From the ones I've heard? Nice For What or Ariana

why is this playlist so bad ;_;

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

this list does not seem as metric-driven as they seem to be presenting it as. like i see multiple picks that are probably not going to be hits, especially on their platform lol

weird that so many people hear "boo'd up" as sunny! i've always heard it as, like, a warm dusk

my favorite of these is "otw" and least favorite is the "zombie" cover

ajr are industry plants right?

quite like Boo'd Up and This Is America is starting to appeal to me more now as a song than just a great bit of performance art

“One Kiss” is specially great when you realize it sounds like it was inspired by Ata Kak:

I know it’s a fairly common House trope but I don’t care I’ll keep thinking it’s Calvin Harris tribute to that album after hearing it.

not a single song or artist I'm interested in, good job spotify

Boo'd Up is the winner but so could a lot of other songs as far as I'm concerned, good job summer 2018

(also #8 on the Hot 100 which was very ?!?! in a good way when I saw it)

"One Kiss"

I like "Solo" except for that silly chorus.

...and by that I mean the "woo woo woo" bit of the pre-chorus.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Boo’d up is dope

Is this a sneak preview of the EOY poll? Some of those names are very familiar!

my neighbors played Nice For What seven times in a row the other night and I didn't mind at all

winning pair otm

i've cooled on "no tears left to cry" somewhat. it's a strong single for sure. but i feel like it's revealed all by the time it first stirs the pot, then coasts from there. (i was also hoping to hear some good remixes but the ones i've heard so far are barely any different from the original.)

If it was “I Do” instead of “I Like It”...

My guess is what we'll think of as "song of the summer" isn't out yet. But for now, well, Nice for What is culturally relevant, dominating the charts and a great song too. Its got a shot for the title but it could get old fast

BOO'D UP FTW

Drake's gonna win this summer with three non-consecutive weeks at #1?

Paying to have your damn songs in every spotify playlist for a week has its benefits.

still hearing Nice for What everywhere, still listening to it 3-4 times in a row when I can

no tears left to cry >>>>>>

who could have possibly foreseen Drake makes up 25% of the top 20 on a platform that tries to force feed you Drake every chance it gets

haha yeah I remember the scorpion release day going to spotify like
