What happened to all the big summer anthems? There have been almost none this year. We had many last year. I feel like we've been robbed.

I'm actually talking about hits that became hot during the summer. Last year we had
Hoobastank - "The Reason"
Maroon 5 - "This Love"

Blink-182 - "I Miss You"
Switchfoot - "Meant To Live"
Maroon 5 - "She Will Be Loved"
Finger Eleven - "One Thing"
311 - "Love Song"
Usher - "Yeah"
among others. Okay, not all of these songs were released during the summer, but still, a lot of them became sounds of the summer.

34 Keane - Everybody's Changing (Interscope)
35 Marc Broussard - Home (Island/IDJMG)
36 Papa Roach - Scars (Geffen)
37 Hope Partlow - Who We Are (Virgin)
38 Ben Folds - Landed (Epic)
39 Weezer - Beverly Hills (Geffen)
40 Will Smith - Switch (Interscope)
Not bad . . . but it seems as though it's missing some huge hits. Remember, "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" and "Since U Been Gone" were released during the winter. Other than that, the rest of these songs don't seem to have much longevity IMO.
Does anybody else agree with me? Or do you think I'm over-reacting a little?

Whether you like them or not, I think Gwen's "Hollaback Girl" and Mariah's "We Belong Together" were definitely anthems this past Summer.
