Post Malone. Morgan Wallen. Sabrina Carpenter. Whose song will dominate this summer?

That’s what Billboard is tracking with its annual Songs of the Summer chart.

The American music magazine tracks how songs perform on its Hot 100 chart between June 8 and Sept. 7.

The chart is cumulative, meaning it adds up all the plays from every week to keep a running total. 

The Hot 100 chart is based on how many plays a song had just in that week, so the two lists don’t always match up.

By September, Billboard will crown a winner based on which song was played the most over the entire summer.

What’s hot? Country, hip-hop and ballads 

For the week of June 22, Post Malone is sitting at Number 1 for his pop-country duet with Morgan Wallen, I Had Some Help.

The song was released on May 10 and topped the first three weeks of the summer chart.

Wallen’s hit Last Night was crowned the song of the summer last year.

Other country-tinged songs are also doing well so far.

Pink Skies by Zach Bryan is Number 9 and the country-hip-hop track A Bar Song (Tipsy) by Shaboozey is at Number 3.

In the hip-hop category, Tommy Richman’s viral hit Million Dollar Baby is at Number 2 and Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track Not Like Us is at Number 4. 

Eminem’s comeback song Houdini is just outside of the top 10 at Number 11.

Soulful male singer-songwriters are also popular, with Too Sweet by Hozier at Number 6, Lose Control by Teddy Swims at Number 7 and Beautiful Things by Benson Boone at Number 8.

More to come 

Songs that appear on the chart earlier in the season have some advantage in the race for Song of the Summer, but that doesn’t mean a late debut can’t win the title. 

One possible contender is Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please. It debuted at Number 17 on the Songs of the Summer chart.

Her other viral hit, Espresso, is also in the race at Number 5 on the summer chart.

Other pop girlies are also taking a swing at it.

Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift all released new albums earlier this year. They all have at least one song in the Top 20 on the summer chart.

But who will be crowned the winner? Only time will tell.
