Doja Cat, Ed Sheeran and BTS are among the artists with the hottest summer tracks — When people think of summer, images of colourful drinks by the pool side and sun-kissed skin from beach lounging come to mind. Of course, none of this would be complete without an upbeat song that you simply can’t get out of your head. Even with COVID-19 making us a bit more cautious and the sweltering UAE heat limiting the outdoor fun, we can count on a cool track to lift our spirits. Streaming giant Spotify has released a list of what they predict will be summer’s biggest anthems, using streaming numbers, current trajectory and future forecasting. Here are their top picks, in no particular order... Image Credit: Instagram
