Since Memorial Day weekend is only a few weeks away and it looks like some songs are lining up to be big summer hits, what songs do you think are contenders for Song of the Summer this year?
These are some of the songs that I think have the biggest potential:
Adele - Send My Love (To You New Lover)
The Chainsmokers feat. Daya - Don't Let Me Down
Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna - This Is What You Came For
Drake feat. Wizkid & Kyla - One Dance
Twenty One Pilots - Ride

The Chainsmokers feat. Daya - Don't Let Me Down Twenty One Pilots - Ride PLEASE let Don't Let Me Down be the EDM song of the summer (and be the #2 song of the summer, if that's what you want to call it) AND PLEASE let Ride be THE song of the summer |

I'm hoping for DLMD to be it. I'd take One Dance to be it though over This is What You Came For, which I don't really care for.

Other than Britney, what other releases are coming out this month that could sneak in and take the crown? Meghan, Ariana, and 5H's second singles would all theoretically stand a chance. Don't know if there is anyone else coming out with something.
Right now my money is on One Dance.

From that list, anything but Don't Let Me Down. Neither have done a really good song yet(IMO)

Probably won't be Billboard's Song of the Summer but "Sorry" or "Hold Up" (whichever one becomes the actual single) will be all over.

Honesty, there isn't that many great choices IMO so far
Since, I'm not really a twenty one pilots fan, DLMD is good but not great, I don't think Adele is gonna have another huge hit, TIWYCF was underwhelming, and I am not a Drake fan.
Britney will either be a hit or a miss, but it won't go anywhere if she doesn't promote it.
Hold Up seems like a pretty good choice.
I honestly have no idea what it will be this year, but I hope it has a fun sound to it.

I could see Drake's "Controlla" being the urban song of summer if it's released.

Ariana Grande's Into You has definite potential imo, but Drake's got the top title, at least for the first half.

At this point last year, Cheerleader was nowhere near the Top 10 and See You Again almost ended up being the song of the summer. |

I guess I can include Can't Stop The Feeling If it keeps up its strength, then it has a good chance of contending Downside: I don't really find it great, just solid. |

I wish it would be I'm In Control, but that's a longshot.

Adele - Send My Love (To Your New Lover) Easily her most poppy sounding song yet, but the chorus is SO damn catchy and I can just see everyone singing this to themselves while driving in the car when it's probably overdone to death on radio by late June-early July. If she puts the song on streaming services, this will easily be her next #1. She should've released this after Hello, but at least this is still getting released after the mess that was "When We Were Young". Love that song too, but it's whole single release was tragic. Other summer song contenders: -One Dance -Don't Let Me Down (Easily my least favorite song on the charts right now but the kids seem to love this sound) -Can't Stop the Feeling  -Just Like Fire -This Is What You Came For -Sorry/Hold Up -Me Too  -Needed Me -Maybe something off of Ariana's album if she can finally get a single that sticks (Focus and Dangerous Woman were both awful choices) |

Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling. IMO that's the most likely because it's gaining massively on radio and is hanging on to #1 on iTunes

What exactly is the criteria for song of the summer? What Hot 100 dates count as summer? And is it regular Hot 100 rules or are certain aspects like sales or radio or streams discluded?
