Spotify points to its “proven track record”

"Spotify’s editorial team blends cultural expertise, editorial instinct, and streaming data to curate our annual Songs of Summer list—cementing Spotify as the ultimate destination for summer listening."
What listeners can expect from the playlist
The streaming site also spoke to the mix of vibes and genres that are featured on the playlist. The Spotify team has noticed that increasingly, users are adding “high-speed garage, house, and rave hits” to their playlists, and that trend is reflected, with the additions of Ely Oaks’s “Running Around” and “Say My Name – Remix” by Morgan Seatree and Florence + The Machine.
The playlist may also feature more relaxed numbers as well, to suit the tastes of those who might be looking for some tunes that would make great background music at smaller get-togethers and campfires on the beach. That audience may want to point their streaming efforts towards songs like “No One Noticed” by The Marías or “Love Me Not” by Ravyn Lenae.
