Every summer comes with its own soundtrack, and this year the rhythm is unmistakably Spanish. Latin beats and reggaeton dominate clubs and festivals, with orchestras weaving fresh hits into their repertoires. Quédate by Bizarrap and Quevedo and Despecha by Rosalia are shining as the summer’s reigning pair, heard everywhere and sung by people of all ages wherever the party goes.
A 20-year-old Canarian artist, Quevedo, made history with his collaboration in Bizarrap’s iconic sessions. The track dropped in early July and already boasts hundreds of millions of streams across platforms, a testament to its immediate resonance. When the bass hits, crowds respond with energy, jumping and shouting the catchy lines while the chorus sticks in the mind long after the song fades.
Rosalia interrupted the dominance briefly, launching a major summer push on July 29 that built anticipation across her Catalan audience. The move paid off as the track climbed to the top of streaming charts. Even though Quevedo now leads the charts, Rosalia remains a staple at parties, with fans greeting her new material with enthusiasm and calling out familiar phrases that signal a night out.
At gatherings this season, these two tracks are played repeatedly, but listeners also move to Bad Bunny’s Titi Me Preguntó and Shakira with Rauw Alejandro’s collaborations. Spanish female artists Ana Mena and Aitana have also placed strong collaborations among the season’s most streamed tunes. Belinda teams with Malagueña and Catalan artists Ptazeta and Emilia to highlight female power in current music. Manuel Turizo’s La Bachata, Provence, Karol G, and Duki’s Givenchy also appear among the popular summer tracks in Spanish.
After two years of the pandemic, audiences awaited a summer like before, and this season felt that longing fulfilled. These songs bring joy, life, and a sense of unity as people sing together at every event, with more hits surely on the horizon as the season continues.
