From names you surely know and ones you might not, or one’s you might just be getting into, this months 7 songs list has something for everyone. So what are you waiting for? Start listening now!

1 Betty (Get Money) - Yung Gravy

Yung Gravy is back and popping off from the start with his brand new single “Betty (Get Money)”, sampling Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” iconic synths and all, but he just added a little bit of spice. Oh and in case you were wondering, yes, Gravy confirmed, like “with every project I’ve done, I’ve always had a continuing narrative with MILF names. This is like the eighth name. 'Betty' is a dope one. It’s inspired by Betty White, RIP.”

2 So Good - Halsey

After first being held hostage over TikTok drama, and then becoming the high-discussed online topic of the week, Halsey’s “So Good” has finally dropped, and its safe to say, the almighty, arena-level, slightly somber sounding bop certainly lives up to its title.

3 Music For A Sushi Restaurant - Harry Styles

It’s funky, groovy, synthy and unexpected. “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” sets the tone for the most pleasurable of visits to Harry’s House, but don’t get it twisted, it also stands alone.

4 I Like You - Post Malone feat. Doja Cat

Perhaps the most Post Malone-y song on, Twelve Carat Toothache, with the added one-two hip-pop combo of Doja Cat makes for the perfect new crush anthem, just in time for summer.

5 I Ain’t Worried - OneRepublic

It’s true that the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack soars, and this pop-fueled, upbeat track, piloted by zippy whistling and breezy percussion truly gives it wings. It’s giving major summer vibes.

6 I Just Called - Neiked feat. Anne-Marie and Latto

This skillful redo of Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called To Say I Love You,” flips the script on the 80s love song, that deals with moving on and getting closure. With lyrics like, "I just called to say I hate you / I just called to say that I moved on,” and all to an upbeat tempo no less.

7 Grrrrls - Lizzo

Calling all baddies and besties — this one’s for you. “Grrrls” is a saucy anthem about female friendship that introduces us to brand-new Lizzo-isms like “Balenci-ussy’s,” with “We CEOs and dancing like a C-E-Hoe.” Point is, Lizzo did it again, she gave us another bop.
