SUPER SONG OF THE SUMMER SPECIAL EDITION!!!!!!!

I've decided to take some time off reviewing to tell you about the song of the summer race. To fill everybody in, being the song of the summer is a title that you get from being the most successful song in the US during the summer. Because the US chart is so stagnant, anything that wants to be in contention has to already be in the top 10. I will be giving you the songs in terms of likelihood and I will give you my personal song of the summer.

5. Can't Hold Us (Macklemore and Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton)

 

The US number 1 at the beginning of the summer, 'Can't Hold Us' proved the world that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis weren't 'Thrift Shop' one trick ponies. A booming piano part and superb chorus vocals from Ray Dalton assist the already brilliant pairing of Macklemore's catchy rap phrases and Ryan Lewis's mind-blowing music production work in a song that will lift the roof off any party.

4. Radioactive (Imagine Dragons)

 

 

I cannot begin to understand how this song is still so popular. What's even most bizarre is that this song has been available to buy for almost a year, it hasn't hit number 1, but people are still buying it. In any case, people around the world seem to have been enjoying the unusual hard rock edge that Imagine Dragons give off in this track. Dan Reynolds's vocals absolutely do the track justice in what can only be described as an enjoyable apocalyptic rock piece. Perfect for releasing any anger you might have inside of you.

3. We Can't Stop (Miley Cyrus)

 

 

 I suppose I am ashamed to say that this song is as high as number three on this list. The fact of the matter is that it's become very popular in the US for reasons I can't even begin to imagine. Hannah Montana grew up and finally figured out what sex was. The music video is full of naughty sexual innuendo and I am actually disgusted of the US public that this song is charting so high.

2. Get Lucky (Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams)

 
 

This song represents comeback. Comeback of Daft Punk after many years of hearing nothing from their helmeted heads. Comeback of Pharrell Williams, one of the most soulful voices in the music industry today who picked up where he left off. Most importantly, this song is the comeback of Nile Rodgers and the kind of music that he was making with Chic. 'Get Lucky' is a laidback, chill dance song that will be played in nightclubs across the world for young men and women hoping to get lucky.

1. Blurred Lines (Robin Thicke feat. T.I. & Pharrell)

 

 

I don't know if it's the fact that it's Robin Thicke. I don't know if it's Pharrell smooth, soulful guest vocals that make the difference. I don't know if it's the simple yet incredibly catchy beat that won't quit. I don't know if it's the lyrics enticing good girls to turn to the dark side of the force. I don't know if it's the daring and controversy he drummed up when he released the music video with him and a collection of nude women walking around. Whatever it is this song is an international hit and the catchiest song I have heard this year, I'm very sure this will be the song of the summer.

My Song of the Summer: I Love It (Icona Pop feat. Charli XCX)

 
 

The Swedes have taken over the world of dance music. Swedish House Mafia, Avicii and Otto Knows must now make way for a fresh female DJ pair known as Icona Pop. This is the perfect summer song with dance hooks, catchy lyrics and booming baseline. I will listen to this song all summer because despite the fact that it's less than 3 minutes and has been around on the charts for almost a year (it only just came out in the UK) "I don't care, I love it!"
