How could we make a playlist of hot new music without including one of the most hype-worthy new artists, Olivia Rodrigo. Her track "Driver’s License," shattered the world, after rumors about the song’s meaning soared, insisting that the track was a hit piece on her High School Musical: The Series co-star and supposed ex, Joshua Bassett.
Rodrigo’s highly anticipated album, Sour, also recently released on Friday May 21.
'Save Your Tears' The Weeknd ft. Ariana Grande
"Save Your Tears" is one of the tracks off The Weeknd's album After Hours, but he recently remixed it, and this time, he added the uber talented Ariana Grande. This song is the perfect addition to any playlist for basking in the sun and enjoying the nice weather, especially over the holiday weekend!
'MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)' Lil Nas X
We couldn’t possibly make the ultimate holiday weekend playlist without including this iconic track from Lil Nas X. The "Old Town Road" singer released his new song alongside an unconventional music video, which attracted a lot of controversy over the Satanic references. Nevertheless, "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)" is still at the top of the charts weeks after its release, and fans are still praising him.
'Leave The Door Open' Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic
This song, with it’s cool R&B sound, is perfect for a sunny-day playlist with more chill-vibes. It’s upbeat and catchy, and nothing beats Bruno Mars' incredibly smooth vocals. This is also our first real introduction to Silk Sonic, the new duo made up of Mars and Anderson .Paak.
'Beautiful Mistakes' Maroon 5 ft. Megan Thee Stallion
Last but not least is the killer track, "Beautiful Mistakes," which is a classic pop banger in true Maroon 5 style. Not only is this upbeat one perfect for a sunny holiday weekend, but the verse from Megan Thee Stallion will also have you playing this song for weeks on end.
