Regardless of how you felt about Scorpion, it was a project that proved that regardless what Drake puts out, people will eat it up. The rapper's highly anticipated follow-up to Views was met with mixed reviews upon its release but you can't deny that Drizzy didn't serve us with anthems for the summer. One song in particular was the viral "In My Feelings" which took off after Shiggy's dance challenge. With the assistance of Shiggy's viral dance, Drake has landed his second number one song on Billboard's Songs Of The Summer charts.

Drake's "In My Feelings" is officially the top song of the summer, atleast according to Billboard's 2018 Songs Of The Summer charts. The chart itself starts on Memorial Day weekend until Labor Day. As "In My Feelings" finishes the seasonal chart at the top, this marks the second year that Drake's dominated the chart following 2016's "One Dance." Drake is now the sixth artist who has two season-ending Songs Of The Summer chart toppers. Jay-Z's the only other rapper on the list and on both songs, he served as a feature.

Hip hop generally dominated the chart this summer. Cardi B  holds down the runner up spots with "I Like It" at number 2 and Maroon 5's "Girls Like You" at number 3. Drake comes back for the fourth position with "Nice For What" while Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams" holds the 5th spot.
