Sneakbo ft Nyla - Too Cool. It's about as route-one a dancehall-inflected UK banger as you could expect but it's also incredibly effective.

It's been a weak year for "song of the summer" consensus takes but here's some low hanging fruit that hasn't made the cut here culled from Billboard (but not, for the sake of listening safety, added to the playlist until after we get through the season).
Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling!!!!1!!!Drake and Kyla and Wizkid - One DanceLethal Bizzle - WobbleDesiigner - PandaCalvin Harris and Rihanna - This is What You Came ForAriana Grande - Into YouKent Jones - Don't MindChainsmokers and Daya - Don't Let Me DownSia and Sean Paul - Cheap ThrillsRihanna - Needed MeFifth Harmony and Ty Dolla - Work from HomeNick Jonas and Tove Lo - Close
― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Saturday, 23 July 2016 03:31 (seven years ago) link
that list kind of sums up the problem with billboard's attempt to chart this phenomenon, particularly with its new methodologies - a bunch of those songs started as hits but have waned since, but their higher cumulative points make them more likely to be / stay on the summer song chart. (the JT song is one exception; it was released in the middle of May)
― maura, Saturday, 23 July 2016 11:36 (seven years ago) link
agreed, but it's also a weak-ass year for inevitable pop anthems! in NYC, the only consistent tracks i'm hearing EVERYWHERE are Panda, Work, One Dance and All the Way Up. Needed Me starting to creep in
― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Saturday, 23 July 2016 16:31 (seven years ago) link
Calvin Harris and Sia have definitely taken over the english spoken summer anthem down here in Mexico. Drake one seems like aminor hit, everyone knows it but it doesn't make people excited when it plays like the Rihanna and Sia do. The other ones are the standard fare of reggaeton/latin pop which dominate the latin airwaves every summer:
Enrique Iglesias - Duele el corazonThalia feat. Maluma - Desde Esa NocheJ Balvin feat. Pharrel - Safari
These reggaton singles have been around since last year but feel like bigger hits in summer and are also ubiquitious
Maluma - borro cassetteNicky jam - hasta el amanecer
Another english spoken hit that hasn't been mentioned but I've been overhearing a lot this summer:Mike Posner - I took a pill in ibiza seeb remix

this is barely a summer jam but it didn't stop me from playing it twice to get hyped before going out to the beach this past weekend:
Zammuto - it can feel so good
Always been a fan of how this guy's brand of 'folktronica' it sounds much warmer and interesting than other artists doing this thing.

Kungs vs Cookin' On 3 Burners "This Girl" is absolutely my jam of the summer. I was forced to play it three times last night. The third time round, the whole bar danced. This made me happy.

i've spent the whole summer outside; it's been pretty brutal. plus, and i know i'm a skipping record on this point, but: lots of music to enjoy this year but no "song of the summer"!
― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Thursday, 25 August 2016 15:21 (seven years ago) link
Well, I think most people would say One Dance was that.

really? i feel like the "most people" vote is timberlake but either way i am squarely not on board.

The Timberlake was trying so earnestly and aggressively to be the Song of the Summer that it feels almost cruel to not declare it so.

I also declare 'this girl' the likeliest song of the summer for me or at least the one that I'll remember the most.

In my experience Timberlake has received way bigger crowd pops than Drake.
I love "This Girl" though! Where has it been hiding???

the kungs track really does make me so happy
it's sort of a throwback to the 2012 glory days of black butter, PMR etc - i mean yes it's more dap-kings than that but the pure stompy ebullience of it

I wasn't into the Kungs track at first but it totally grew on me as summer went along.
*sigh* summer is nearly over. hardly noticed it go by. thinking about an Autumn-themed thread though. not sure whether to make it new tracks only or allow older stuff that just sounds nice and leafy
