What Was the Song of the Summer the Year You Graduated High School?
No doubt the summer after you graduated from high school was a memorable one. But do you remember what the biggest song of that summer was? Well, the “New York Daily News” has a list of Songs of the Summer going all the way back to 1958 . . . when it was “Volare” by DOMENICO MODUGNO.
Here are the last 10 years’ worth:
2011: “Party Rock Anthem”, LMFAO
2012: “Call me Maybe”, Carly Rae Jepsen
2013: “Blurred Lines”, Robin Thicke
2014: “Fancy”, Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX
2015: “Cheerleader”, OMI
2016: “One Dance”, Drake
2017: “Despacito”, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber
2018: “In My Feelings”, Drake
2019: “Old Town Road”, Lil Nas X
2020: ??? They’re suggesting “Savage” by Megan Thee Stallion, “Say So” by Doja Cat, or “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd.
But who knows? “WAP” seems to be coming on pretty strong late in the game.
