Drake's 'One Dance' Is the No. 1 Song of the Summer
Summer '16 officially belonged to Drake, as the superstar's "One Dance," featuring WizKid and Kyla, is Billboard's No. 1 song of the summer of 2016.
The collab crowns Billboard's annual Songs of the Summer chart, which tracks the most popular hits based on cumulative performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Impressively, "Dance" led Songs of the Summer for all 14 of the survey's weeks this year. It's the third song this decade to rule from start to finish, following Iggy Azalea's "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX, in 2014, and Katy Perry's "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, in 2010.
Drake earns his first summer chart championship. He previously ranked in the season's final top 10 with his debut hit "Best I Ever Had" (No. 4, 2009) and "Find Your Love" (No. 9, 2010).
