British-Nigerian rapper Dave and Nigerian Grammy-winning singer Tems have secured a place on Spotify’s highly anticipated 2026 Songs of Summer predictions list, with their hit collaboration “Raindance” emerging as one of the tracks tipped to dominate global playlists this summer.
Spotify unveiled the 30-song selection on May 29 through its official newsroom, describing the list as tracks its global editorial team believes could shape “summer 2026’s soundtrack” across different countries and genres.
According to Spotify’s Editorial Lead for Pop, Talia Kraines, a true summer hit is built around “the vibes,” explaining that such songs are records listeners can enjoy “outside in the sunshine with your friends” while also crossing genres, cultures and borders.
