British-Nigerian rapper Dave and sensational Nigerian vocal powerhouse Tems have been officially named in Spotify’s highly anticipated 2026 ‘Songs of Summer’ global predictions list.
The streaming giant's international editorial team selected their critically acclaimed collaborative masterpiece, “Raindance (feat. Tems),” as a frontrunner for the season's biggest global hit, following an analytical evaluation of worldwide streaming momentum and listener retention trends.
Released in October 2025 as the standout fifth track on Dave’s commercially successful third studio album, The Boy Who Played the Harp, the record has officially cemented its status as a cross-continental cultural phenomenon.

The track, which seamlessly blends Tems’ deeply soulful, hypnotic vocals with Dave’s signature introspective and hard-hitting rap bars, was structurally co-produced by an elite team consisting of Jo Caleb, Kyle Evans, Jim Legxacy, and the performing artists themselves.
"Raindance" historically peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, notably securing Tems her very first career chart-topping entry in the United Kingdom as a lead collaborator, and has since aggressively surpassed a landmark 500 million cumulative global streams.
According to Spotify, the diverse 2026 roster spans the upper echelons of pop, rap, Afrobeats, and electronic music, introducing a brand-new interactive in-app voting feature that allows premium and free subscribers worldwide to directly cast ballots for their definitive seasonal anthem.
