\n\tThe first two weeks of Billboard\u2019s Songs of the Summer chart<\/a> this year have brought two No. 1s.<\/p>\n

\n\tElla Langley<\/a>\u2019s \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d rises a spot to No. 1 on Songs of the Summer (dated June 13), after Drake\u2019s \u201cJanice STFU,\u201d now at No. 2, led upon the chart\u2019s annual return<\/a> a week earlier.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s the first time since 2020 that a title hasn\u2019t ruled Songs of the Summer from start to finish. That year, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande\u2019s \u201cRain on Me\u201d topped the season\u2019s first chart and Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s \u201cSavage,\u201d featuring Beyonc\u00e9, was No. 1 in week two, before DaBaby\u2019s \u201cRockstar,\u201d featuring Roddy Ricch, led the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince then, each Songs of the Summer winner by September was the only song to lead each season: BTS\u2019 \u201cButter\u201d in 2021; Harry Styles\u2019 \u201cAs It Was\u201d in 2022; Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cLast Night\u201d in 2023; Post Malone\u2019s \u201cI Had Some Help,\u201d featuring Wallen, in 2024; and Alex Warren\u2019s \u201cOrdinary\u201d last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 20-position Songs of the Summer running tally tracks the most popular hits based on cumulative performance on the weekly streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100<\/a> chart from Memorial Day through Labor Day (this year encompassing charts dated June 6 through Sept. 12, 2026). At the end of the season, the top song of the summer will be revealed.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso notably, \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d is No. 1 on Songs of the Summer even though it hasn\u2019t topped the Hot 100 in each of the summer survey\u2019s first two weeks. Still, its No. 2 rank the past two weeks on the Hot 100 \u2014 after it dominated for 10 weeks<\/a> starting in February \u2014 give it the edge over \u201cJanice STFU,\u201d at No. 3 on the Hot 100 a week after it added its second week<\/a> at No. 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Grande\u2019s new Hot 100 leader<\/a>, \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me,\u201d enters Songs of the Summer at No. 10. (All the songs above it benefit from two weeks of chart activity.)<\/p>\n
