Roddy Ricch, OfficialCharts.com can reveal.<\/p>\n<p>Based on new Official Charts Company streaming and sales data from over 9,000 UK outlets, the US rapper\u2019s chart-topping breakout hit was the biggest track of the 2020 summer period, tracking from the first week of June to the last week of August.<\/p>\n<p>Rockstar, which hit Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart in May and logged six weeks at the summit, scored 654,000 chart sales during three-month period. Rockstar was streamed 72.4 million times in the UK this summer, while its music video \u2013 released at the end of June \u2013 notched up 14.5 million plays.<\/p>\n<p>The success of Rockstar was boosted considerably by a viral dance challenge on TikTok, in a summer where many people leaned on social media as they stayed at home during the UK lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>This summer may have been one of the most unusual \u2013 and hottest \u2013 on record, but that didn\u2019t stop artists delivering plenty of sun-soaked bangers this year. Another TikTok favourite, Savage Love (Laxed \u2013 Siren Beat) by 17-year-old Auckland producer Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo, spent three weeks at Number 1 in July and was the UK\u2019s second-biggest song of the summer with 566,000 chart sales.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Lady Gaga &amp; Ariana Grande\u2019s Rain On Me \u2013 a chart-topper in the first week of June \u2013 ranks third (515k), and The Weeknd\u2019s seemingly unstoppable Blinding Lights is fourth (497k). Despite the track notching up eight weeks at Number 1 this year pre-summer, its popularity has continued throughout the hot season, hovering around the Top 40 for the entirety of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding off the summer Top 5 is Head &amp; Heart by Joel Corry ft. MNEK \u2013 the UK\u2019s current Number 1 at six weeks and counting has already racked up just shy of half a million chart sales.<\/p>\n<p>More dance-pop hits feature in the Official Top 40 Songs of the Summer, including Top 3 hit Breaking Me by German\/Croatian DJ Topic ft. A7S (6), Secrets by Regard &amp; Raye (9), and Nathan Dawe\u2019s Flowers ft. JayKae (19) and his KSI collaboration Lighter (31).<\/p>\n<p>UK rap also dominated the charts this summer, led by S1mba\u2019s Top 5 smash Rover, which places seventh on the summer Top 40, AJ Tracey\u2019s Dinner Guest ft. Mostack (10) and mega-collab I Dunno by Tion Wayne, Dutchavelli and Stormzy (13).<\/p>\n<p>Despite first appearing in the charts last November, Harry Styles\u2019 Watermelon Sugar proved the perfect thirst-quencher this summer, logging ten weeks in the Top 10. Another single by Harry, Adore You, also appears in the summer Top 40 at 38.<\/p>\n<p>Proving summer isn\u2019t all about the bangers, acoustic ballad This City by Australian musician Sam Fischer \u2013 a Top 20 hit in June \u2013 places at Number 20, while Lewis Capaldi\u2019s Someone You Loved (24) and Before You Go (29) both continue to be popular. Another ballad, Ariana Grande &amp; Justin Bieber\u2019s Top 5 duet Stuck With You \u2013 released to raise money for the First Responders Children\u2019s Foundation during the coronavirus pandemic \u2013 also features at 30.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.music-news.com\/news\/UK\/134235\/DaBaby-s-Rockstar-ft-Roddy-Ricch-named-UK-s-Official-Song-of-the-Summer-2020\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK\u2019s Official Song of the Summer 2020 is DaBaby\u2019s Rockstar ft.
