Quevedo claims the song of the summer
Summer is over, and Spotify has already delivered its verdict on the most-streamed song of the season. Latin rhythms have once again dominated the top positions, but none of them could win the battle against Quevedo. La Graciosa, the Canary Islands artist’s collaboration with Elvis Crespo, has become the most-played song of summer 2026, surpassing 148 million streams.
A double triumph for the Canary Islands star
But claiming the number one spot was not enough for the singer: his track Al golpito, alongside L4s Ku4tro — the group’s new name — has also worked its way into the season’s biggest hits. The streaming platform has also revealed that the Canary Islander has been crowned Spain’s most-streamed artist of the moment, a recognition that carries even greater weight in a year when names such as Aitana, Rosalía, Enrique Iglesias, Alejandro Sanz and Dani Martín have once again dominated the charts.
Collaborations remain the industry’s winning bet
Summer has once again shown that collaborations remain one of the music industry’s biggest gambles. The blending of styles, generations and different audiences has shaped this year’s releases, with urban and Latin sounds the undisputed stars of the charts. It is a trend that has allowed established artists and new figures to share space on the same musical stage.
More than just weeks on the chart
Songs of the summer are no longer measured solely by the weeks they spend in the charts. Their impact is also reflected on social media, at festivals and concerts and, above all, on streaming platforms, where millions of listeners ultimately decide which tracks become the soundtrack to the summer months. In 2026, everything points to that soundtrack once again having a distinctly Canarian accent.
