This collection of songs blew up and were popular all throughout the summer of 2019. Feel free to look these songs up in your spare time and enjoy the top hits of the Summer.
- Old Town Road – Lil Nas X (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus)
Arguably one of the biggest songs of the decade, “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X now holds the record for most weeks being number one on the Top 100 Chart. Old Town Road is a mix between modern rap and an older country style, as reflected by (this remix’s) singers. Billy Ray Cyrus, who’s career hit a high point in the 1990s, might not have been many people’s idea of who would be featured in a rap song, but this very unique mashing of genres turned out to be exactly what the world wanted.

- Ransom- Lil Tecca
The song that blew Lil Tacca up. Lil Tecca is a young rapper who believed he was going to blow up from the beginning, and Ransom guaranteed that he would.
