As we near the end of August, Spotify users Kevin and Jenny Kopff’s playlist is perfect for looking back on the summer of 2025. The playlist includes some of the biggest songs of the summer, likeSabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild,“off herupcoming albumMan’s Best Friend,and Alex Warren’s #1 single “Ordinary.”
