"California Gurls" is named the best most successful Hot 100 summer song of all time! :o Some incredible songs on this list.

To be fair I do like the "California Gurls" song more than I did this time last year. It probably has to do with the memories associated with the time it was constantly on the radio and the break I took with it between its radio domination and me revisiting recently

If by "best," you mean based on chart performance, then, yes, that is correct. :)
Glad Billboard is sticking to its methodology of weighing pre-1991 singles to account for the discrepancies in time spent on the chart.

Ngl, it should be illegal for Tik Tok pt. 2 CG to be atop pretty much all of the other songs on that list. Mess.

You'd think IGF would be on the list, and quite possibly #1. IGF is a party song, not specifically a summer song. The songs on this list make very specific references to summertime or at least things most commonly associated with summer (beaches, warmth, bikinis, swimming, surfing). IGF doesn't have those summer-specific references.

Cali Gurls had more of an impact than most people on here would like to admit, tbh.

To be honest I think I'd take LFN over CG as a summer hit, personally. CG lacks something.

Wow, I didn't realize JT's Summer Love had done that well enough to even make this list. That single was kind of just thrown out there. #7 is the song that will always have my summer heart, though.
I'd love to see a general 'top songs that ruled the summer' list, rather than something so theme-specific.

I always thought when they say summer song it meant songs released during the Summer not that they're literally referring to summer theme songs or songs associated with summer.
