What will be the songs that will rock our beautiful summer evenings? 80’s the FouKi, Calm Down by Rema and Selena Gomez and several Latin pieces according to three directors of Quebec radio programming.
This is the second song in 2 years for FouKi which was number one last year with Bijou. The Montreal rapper shared the charts with Gros Big (Camping).
Quebec songs
FouKi, 80’s
“It’s a tune that can be listened to very well on a terrace with a Pina Colada, laughs Éric Martel host at the 6 to 6 and music director at CKOI. With us, FouKi has a big advantage in terms of reaction. It’s a highlight of the summer.” Those who have been sailing from one success to another for a few years, visit here the 80s while keeping a unique and very modern sound.

Ariane Moffatt, magic night
“Catherine Lara had phenomenal success in 1986 with this song, particularly in Quebec. Ariane Moffatt gives it her own magic touch, which will give her a very enthusiastic second life during the summer of 2023, ”explains Vincent Garneau, musical director Bell Media (Red, Energy).

Clay Scott, Masterpiece
The music video is composed of scenes taking place on the beach, on the rocks, in the waves, among the flowers and under the sun: exactly where you want to be when listening to this joyful, dancing and luminous piece resulting from the collaboration between Jay Scott and Mike Clay. An undeniable choice for John Pedulla, director of programming WKND 91.9 FM.
Statz, Like before
John Pedulla also sees this piece of Stratzz becoming one of the songs of the summer. It must be said that beyond the festive melody, the lyrics address the carelessness of youth reminding many of their most beautiful holidays. “I would like to know how to have fun like before, like before, like before. We might meet on Saint-Laurent Street, as before.”
Dominique Hudson – Always for you
Combining French and Spanish, pop and Latin music, this piece by Dominique Hudson proves that the Quebec singer-songwriter “has the recipe for making melodies filled with sunshine”. “Halfway between the stadium anthem and sensual Latin dances, it takes us on the roads of summer with a smile on our lips,” explains Vincent Garneau.
English songs
On the US side, Billboard places Calm Down by Rema and Selena Gomez, et Eyes Closed by Ed Sheeran in his summer charts. The American magazine adds Players by Coi Leray, Last Night Morgan Wallen et Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2 by PinkPantheress & Ice Spice. As for Flowers of Miley Cyrus, she still sits at the top of the Summer 2023 Top Party Hits they Spotify.
Here is, according to our experts, what will turn on the side of English (and Spanish) music in our Quebec radios; a year following Willy William’s plays (TRUMPET), Farruko (Kernels) et Camilla Cabello et Ed Sheeran (bam bam) spiced up our summer of 2022.
Rema and Selena Gomez, Calm Down
The two musical directors speak of a “big song” when discussing this piece featuring the ultra-popular Selena Gomez and Nigerian singer Rema. “Definitely THE success of spring and the beginning of summer,” says Vincent Garneau. Will he manage to persist and shine until August with the same intensity? To have. But right now, as soon as I hear a note of this song…I can’t stop listening to it until the end.”

Marshmello & Farruko, This life et Marshmello & Manuel Turizo, The meringue
Marshmello launched these two “very effective” offerings to stations almost at the same time. “These two songs had super fast reactions, explains CKOI’s musical director, Éric Martel. Rarely have I seen so much enthusiasm for this musical genre. I think we really need sun in Quebec!”
Ayra Starr, Rush
“There is a wave of summer hits this year,” says Éric Martel. This afrobeats song is the most reacted of the last few weeks and it’s here to stay, I think.

Dua Lipa, Dance The night
A very catchy chorus, the Dua Lipa signature and a place on the soundtrack of the long-awaited film Barbie: all the ingredients are there for the song Dance the Night is one of the most played on the radio this summer, believes Vincent Garneau.
Preston Pablo, For Keeps
“Very catchy verses, super catchy choruses…our head consistently follows the rhythm throughout the song. Perhaps not THE success of the summer, but it will certainly be one of the most popular,” continues the musical director of Rouge et Énergie.

Miley Cyrus, Flowers
Quickly becoming the emblematic song of strong women who can “buy flowers on their own” since its release last January, the song Flowers remains well positioned in the radio charts. We will still hear it throughout the warm season, believes John Pedulla. Same for the sweet Eyes Closed, by Ed Sheeran, launched at the end of March, but still as popular as ever.
