As 2016 comes to an end, Spotify has released its annual end-of-the-year playlists. What is catching everyone’s attention is the most popular song that people had sex to: “Sex” by Cheat Codes and Kriss Kross Amsterdam.

The U.K. had a different preference: “Sex With Me” by Rihanna.

I wouldn’t have either of these songs on my personal sex playlist, but I guess having the word sex in it alone is enough to label it as a love-making banger.

Here’s more of Spotify’s year-in-review top songs and categories.

  • Top sad song: “Say Something” – A Great Big World
  • Top breakup song: “One Dance” – Drake (feat. WizKid and Kyla)
  • Top party/dance song: “Uptown Funk” – Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars
  • Top workout song: “‘Till I Collapse” – Eminem (feat. Nate Dogg)
  • Top gaming song: “Fort Minor” – Remember The Name (feat. Styles of Beyond)
