Drake, Cardi B, Kanye West: Who Has The Song Of The Summer?

These heavy hitters have recently released albums with bangers, but underdogs BTS and Ella Mai are giving them a run for their money

Oh, summer how we missed you! Now that the hottest time of the year is back, it's time to pick the anthem to go with it. Earlier this month Apple Music weighed in on their predictions and now we want to hear from you. Which song will you be blasting all summer long?

Cardi B, "I Like It"

It's no surprise GRAMMY-nominated artist Cardi B is all over the Billboard charts. Her debut album, Invasion Of Privacy, has gotten major song plays with hits like "Be Careful" And "I Like It." Arguably, "I Like It" is the most infectious hit to come out of her album and her number one contender for song of the summer. The Latin-inspired song samples Boogalo musician Pete Rodriguez' song, "I Like It Like That," and features Bad Bunny and J Balvin, two of the biggest names on the Latin charts.

Drake, "Nice For What"

With a freshly released album, it won't be a surprise if GRAMMY winner Drake is all over the airwaves and high on the streaming lists this summer. His single, "Nice For What" featuring a sample from GRAMMY winner Lauryn Hill's "Ex-Factor" took previous hit "God's Plan" out of the Billboard Hot 100's No. 1 spot. The song also features the voice of Big Freedia, who has been a major figure in the New Orleans bounce movement and gives a shout out to all hardworking women on their hustle.

BTS, "Fake Love"

South Korea's BTS are among the most influential people on the internet right now. Their lead single, "Fake Love" is a mix of rock, hip-hop and trap beats. The song in Korean and English is about a love that turns out to be deceitful. The song belongs to BTS' latest studio album, Love Yourself: Tear, which became the first one by a K-pop band to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Ariana Grande, "No Tears Left To Cry"

Ariana Grande' s musical comeback after the tragic events that happened during her May 2017 concert in Manchester has been much awaited. The experience made the GRAMMY-nominated artist want to bring light into the world, and that's exactly what she's doing with "No Tears Left To Cry." The first single off of her forthcoming album, Sweetener, is a positive anthem of getting back up. Who doesn't need a little more of that inspiration in their lives?

Kanye West, "All Mine"

Kanye West has been making major headlines as per usual, but that hasn't stopped him from making an album many are praising. His much-anticipated eighth studio LP titled Ye dropped June 1. The GRAMMY winner's single "All Mine" opens up with organs before the song transitions into a slow beat. The track features Ty Dolla Sign and Ant Clemons, and without any samples, this one's all about West.

Camila Cabello With Pharrell Williams, "Sangria Wine"

Camila Cabello has given us one of the catchiest songs to date, "Havana." But the singer won't stop making bangers. She sings her new bilingual song, "Sangria Wine," in English and Spanish The song with Pharrell Williams features a salsa beat with splashes of reggae. There's no doubt this is the perfect track for dancing the summer nights away.

Calvin Harris With Dua Lipa, "One Kiss"

It's almost expected to have at least one Calvin Harris song blasting all summer. The GRAMMY winner's dance song "One Kiss" featuring Dua Lipa for sure makes the cut. With all the palm trees and beaches, the single's video alone screams summer. Add in Lipa's luscious vocals, and this track is great for any summer day.

Post Malone, "Better Now"

Post Malone broke records with his sophomore album Beerbongs & Bentleys'. No surprise if his single "Better Now" about a former flame takes the top spot for song of the summer. And if you need a celebrity endorsement, at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, even Taylor Swift shouted out the song, saying, "'Better Now' is so insane. I'm so jealous of that song, that hook."

Ella Mai, "Boo'd Up"

Ella Mai's "Boo'd Up" is one of the songs Apple Music has predicted would possibly win top song of the summer. Rolling Stone has already given the U.K artist the crown. The R&B track from the British singer/songwriter has made it to the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, but can she beat out the likes of Drake and West?
