Sabrina Carpenter – “Espresso”
No song became a part of the public consciousness in the past few months in the way Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” managed to, and we’ve all had it on repeat all summer long.

Between “Hot To Go!” and “Pink Pony Club”, several songs from Chappell Roan’s debut album became viral hits in recent months, but none of that wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for her breakout hit “Good Luck, Babe!”
Charli XCX – “Apple”
