As summer winds down, you might be wondering: what was the song of the season? While opinions can differ, charts tell the real story. And listeners have made their choices clear. Karol G with ‘Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,’ Sabrina Carpenter with ‘Espresso’ or ‘Please, Please, Please,’ Billie Eilish and ‘Birds of a Feather’… These tracks have been played everywhere and have topped playlists around the world, including on the Lista LOS40 USA.

But TikTok has its own rankings, and they’ve just released the top 10 songs in various countries, along with the global top chart. So, who’s leading the list? Surprisingly, it’s not an English-language song, but the viral sensation that took over the platform: ‘Gata Only’. This track by the Chilean duo FloyyMenor and Cris Mj, released in February, had all the makings of a hit, especially by June when it became the soundtrack to some of TikTok’s most viral dance trends.

“I knew from the start this song was a global hit, and its success makes me incredibly proud. I’m grateful to the TikTok community for helping it reach a worldwide audience,” said FloyyMenor. The track has already racked up over 1 billion streams on Spotify and has been featured in more than 1.5 million TikTok videos.

The global top chart also shows that Latin sounds are making a big impact with TikTok users all around the world. In the U.S. top chart, things look a bit different—’Gata Only’ doesn’t appear in the first spot or anywhere in the rankings. There’s also no Spanish-language song on the list.

TikTok has become the go-to platform for making music popular. It’s where big festival hits get shared, classics are brought back, and fun trends and dances take off. This global enthusiasm brings in new influences, which helped ‘Gata Only’ reach the top of the global chart.
