Spotify’s list of the most-listened-to songs in Türkiye in the summer of 2026 was topped by Ajda Pekkan and manifest’s “Hileli.” After its release, the song had entered Spotify’s list of the most-listened-to new songs of the week worldwide at No. 1. “Hileli” was followed by BLOK3’s “Sebebi Yar” and manifest’s “Toz Pembe.” The list consisted entirely of Turkish artists and groups.
Why it matters
This ranking offers a limited but concrete snapshot showing that music consumption in Türkiye in the summer of 2026 was shaped around domestic repertoire. The fact that the collaboration between Ajda Pekkan and manifest both reached the top of Türkiye’s list and took first place in Spotify’s global weekly ranking of new songs shows that a local production can gain visibility within the platform at different scales. The presence in the top three of tracks by the same artist and by another artist suggests that the list was not tied to a single name, and that different productions stood out together. However, since these data cover only the summer period and Spotify listening, whether this interest continued on other platforms or outside the season is beyond the scope of this news report.
