The songs of the summer were identified by looking at Spotify's most listened to tracks between June 1st and August 31st, 2016.
Other artists making up Spotify's global songs of the summer list include The Chainsmokers, Justin Timberlake,
Desiigner and Fifth Harmony.
Shanon Cook, Spotify's resident music trends expert, commented: "Drake's 'One Dance' is impossibly catchy and by late spring had positioned itself as the one to beat. Other playlist staples like Sia's feelgood song 'Cheap Thrills', The Chainsmokers' standout track 'Don't Let Me Down' and Calvin Harris' confident club jam 'This Is What You Came For' helped shape a summer sound that was upbeat, edgy and memorable."
