Rania Aniftos:
2017, the year a Spanish hit took over the airwaves thanks to a pop-star collaboration, and DJ Khaled dominated the top five. We’ll get to that later, but let’s start with the No. 5 song on the Hot 100 Songs of 2017.

“Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran.

In the first hit by our favorite DJ, (DJ) Khaled that is, the No. 4 spot belongs to “Wild Thoughts” featuring Rihanna and Bryson Tiller.

Back-to-back hits for DJ Khaled bringing us the No. 3 song with “I’m the One” featuring a host of talented stars including Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne.

Reaching the No. 2 spot in summer 2017 is our favorite modern-day funk-soul singer Bruno Mars with his hit “That’s What I Like.”

Justin Bieber was everywhere in 2017. Also making the list twice when he lent his vocals to the biggest song of the summer by Puerto Rican singers Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. “Despacito” remained a hit for months — reigning king of summer 2017.
