What’s the Song of the Summer?

Aug 27, 2019 | 6:06 AM

Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” tops YouTube’s annual Songs of the Summer list, which is ranked by tallying U.S. views across YouTube between May 27th and August 23rd.

“Old Town Road” received three times as many views as its closest competition. In figuring out the views, YouTube counted not only the song’s official video, but also lyric videos and user-generated content that included the song and lyric videos.

On YouTube’s global Songs of the Summer list, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s steamy video for “Seorita” managed to edge out “Old Town Road” for the top spot. On the U.S. chart, it only reached No. 5.

“Old Town Road” also took home Song of the Year at the VMAs last night.
