Spotify has settled a debate that resurfaces summer after summer: What was the biggest song of the season?

The streaming service released Wednesday two 20-song lists — one rounding up Spotify's most streamed songs globally and another in just the U.S. — compiled with user listening data from May 29 to Aug. 29.

These top summer songs were exclusively announced on TODAY, and include tunes from Harry Styles and Lizzo, both of whom stopped by Rockefeller Plaza this summer to perform for the Citi Music Series.

And thanks to the popularity of Netflix's "Stranger Things," the '80s are in again, too: Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" was the most-streamed song in the U.S. this summer.

Below, see the complete lists — or stream the global playlist on Spotify here. Happy listening!
