Billboard celebrates 60 years of the Hot 100 chart with a look at the hottest songs to make waves on the chart in the summertime.

Summer is rapidly approaching, which means many of the current songs we'll hear blaring out of radios are contenders for song of the season. In honor of the Hot 100's upcoming 60th anniversary (and the return of the weekly Songs of the Summer chart), Billboard has ranked the 100 hottest songs to make waves on the chart during the summers of 1958-2017.

1. "I'll Be Missing You" - Puff Daddy & Faith Evans feat. 112 (No. 1, 1997)

On March 9, 1997, Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace was murdered leaving a Soul Train Awards afterparty in Los Angeles. Soon after, Puff Daddy, R&B group 112 and Wallace's widow, Faith Evans, paid him tribute on a song that sampled The Police's "Every Breath You Take" and Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings." The video -- which culminates with Evans singing the spiritual "I'll Fly Away" from atop a hill -- premiered in early May and quickly became one of MTV's most-played clips. "It really hit home when I saw the video," says New York DJ Funkmaster Flex, who remembers broadcasting the song from a promo CD before Bad Boy Records sent him a proper 12-inch. The single then debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 14, remained there for 11 weeks and was succeeded by Wallace's own "Mo Money Mo Problems" from his posthumous LP Life After Death. "It was a tough time," recalls Flex. "But between Big's album and Diddy's album, it almost felt like Biggie didn't pass." -- NICK MURRAY

Fun Fact: Sting joined 112, Evans and Puff Daddy to perform the track live at the 1997 Video Music Awards.

2. "The Boy Is Mine" - Brandy & Monica (No. 1, 1998)

3. "Tossin' and Turnin'" - Bobby Lewis (No. 1, 1961)

4. "Blurred Lines" - Robin Thicke feat. T.I. + Pharrell (No. 1, 2013)

5. "Despacito" - Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber (No.1, 2017)

6. "Every Breath You Take" - The Police (No. 1, 1983)

7. "We Belong Together" Mariah Carey (No. 1, 2005)

8. "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" - Andy Gibb (No. 1, 1977)

9. "When Doves Cry" - Prince And The Revolution (No. 1, 1984)

10. "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" - Bryan Adams (No. 1, 1991)

Bryan Adams was finishing up his sixth LP, Waking Up the Neighbours, when film composer Michael Kamen approached the Canadian musician's team about collaborating on the theme to Kevin Costner's early-'90s vehicle Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Co-written with Adams' frequent collaborator Mutt Lange, the lyrics for Robin and Maid Marian's surging love song were composed in 90 minutes - and then went on to become the foundation of the biggest hit of the year. Remembers Adams' manager Bruce Allen: "It was a big wedding song, but you heard it at the mall -- everywhere." -- GARRETT KAMPS

Fun Fact: "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" lost the best original song Academy Award to "Beauty and the Beast" (a Hot 100 top 10 for Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson).

11. "Alone Again (Naturally)" - Gilbert O'Sullivan (No. 1, 1972)

12. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" - The Rolling Stones (No. 1, 1965)

13. "Hot in Herre" - Nelly (No. 1, 2002)

14. "Bad Girls" - Donna Summer (No. 1, 1979)

15. "Roses Are Red" (My Love)" - Bobby Vinton (No. 1, 1962)

16. "I'm Sorry" - Brenda Lee (No. 1, 1960)

17. "In The Year 2525" - Zager & Evans (No. 1, 1969)

18. "Eye of the Tiger" - Survivor (No. 1, 1982)

19. "Lonely Boy" - Paul Anka (No. 1, 1959)

20. "Umbrella" - Rihanna feat. JAY-Z (No. 1, 2007)

21. "Crazy In Love" - Beyoncé feat. JAY-Z (No. 1, 2003)

22. "Can't Help Falling In Love" - UB40 (No. 1, 1993)

23. "Waterfalls" - TLC (No. 1, 2005)

Amped from the success of its triple-platinum debut, TLC entered the studio in late 1993 to record a follow-up with a dream team of producers -- among them Babyface, Jermaine Dupri, Puff Daddy and production team Organized Noize. What resulted was 1994's CrazySexyCool, an LP that has sold 7.7 million copies stateside (according to Nielsen Music) and delivered the act's biggest hit. Written by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Marqueze Etheridge and Organized Noize -- with backup vocals by then-unknown Cee Lo Green -- the Grammy-winning, chart-dominating single wasn't just a commercial juggernaut.

Released in the midst of the AIDS epidemic and the drug war, the song's lyrics addressed these issues (e.g., "His health is fading and he doesn't know why/Three letters took him to his final resting place"), and its MTV Video Music Awards-sweeping clip, helmed by director F. Gary Gray (Friday, Straight Outta Compton), brought these concerns into the living rooms of millions. -- GARRETT KAMPS

Fun Fact: The video cost more than $1 million. "I had no idea how huge the record was until I heard how much the video budget was," says Etheridge.

24. "I Swear" - All-4-One (No. 1, 1994)

25. "I Gotta Feeling" - The Black Eyed Peas (No. 1, 2009)

26. "Baby Got Back" - Sir Mix-A-Lot (No. 1, 1992)

27. "(They Long To Be) Close To You" - Carpenters (No. 1, 1970)

28. "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)" - Los Del Rio (No. 1, 1996)

29. "Promiscuous" - Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland (No. 1, 2006)

30. "The Battle of New Orleans" - Johnny Horton (No. 1, 1959)

31. "Light My Fire" - The Doors (No. 1, 1967)

This 1967 breakthrough single catapulted Jim Morrison's four-man psych circus from Whiskey a Go Go house band to Elektra Records' million-selling success. Countless acid trips, 14 platinum certifications and one Oliver Stone biopic followed, along with a 1968 Jose Feliciano cover that hit No. 3 and extended the song's life. "The jazz world picked it up, then I'd hear it in elevators," says drummer John Densmore.

Fun Fact: Buick offered $75,000 to adapt the smash for an ad, which The Doors ultimately declined, a decision Densmore has never regretted: "Would this song be on this list if we'd done 'Come on Buick, Light My Fire'?" -- CAMILLE DODERO

32. "California Gurls" - Katy Perry feat. Snoop Dogg (No. 1, 2010)

33. "Shadow Dancing" - Andy Gibb (No. 1, 1978)

34. "Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen (No. 1, 2012)

35. "Windy" - The Association (No. 1, 1967)

36. "Genie in a Bottle" - Christina Aguilera (No. 1, 1999)

37. "I Kissed A Girl" - Katy Perry (No. 1, 2008)

38. "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" - Bee Gees (No. 2, 1971)

39. "You're Still The One" - Shania Twain (No. 1, 1998)

40. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO feat. Lauren Bennett & GoonRock (No. 1, 2011)

41. It's Too Late/I Feel The Earth Move" - Carole King (No. 1, 1971)

42. "Best of My Love" - The Emotions (No. 1, 1977)

43. "It's Still Rock And Roll To Me" - Billy Joel (No. 1, 1980)

44. "Roll With It" - Steve Winwood (No. 2, 1988)

45. "Whoomp! (There It Is)" - Tag Team (No. 1, 1993)

46. "Ghostbusters" - Ray Parker Jr. (No. 1, 1984)

The year 1984 was a colossal one for pop culture: Madonna, Michael and Bruce owned the airwaves; Beverly Hills Cop, The Karate Kid and The Terminator lit up the box office; and the CD player and the first Apple Macintosh arrived in stores. Against this backdrop, Ray Parker Jr. wrote one of the 20th century's most memorable movie themes. While Parker later settled out of court with Huey Lewis to avoid a copyright suit over similarities to Lewis' hit "I Want a New Drug," "Ghostbusters" was an international smash. "I remember hearing the song and thinking, 'This isn't like anything else on the radio -- he is basically talking," says Bowling for Soup frontman Jaret Reddick, whose pop-punk band covered the tune for 2005 film Just Like Heaven. "It's the keyboard line that sucks you in: You find yourself whistling it for two days." -- GARRETT KAMPS

Fun Fact: "Ghostbusters" was initially tied to a summer blockbuster, but now it's the second-most Shazam-ed track on Halloween, after Michael Jackson's "Thriller."

47. "Big Girls Don't Cry" - Fergie (No. 1, 2007)

48. "Ring My Bell" - Anita Ward (No. 1, 1979)

49. "Magic" - Olivia Newton-John (No. 1, 1980)

50. "Vision of Love" - Mariah Carey (No. 1, 1990)

51. "Jessie's Girl" - Rick Springfield (No. 1, 1981)

After emerging from the 1970s as a pop heartthrob, Rick Springfield hoped that 1981's Working Class Dog -- his first album in five years -- would convince critics that he had grown into a serious artist. "I thought, 'OK, I wrote and played all these songs and produced most of the album, so they can't see me as a teen idol any frigging longer," he remembers now. "But they did." At least with "Jessie's Girl," he was a teen idol with a No. 1 hit. The track peaked on Aug. 1, 1981, a little more than a year after he met the woman (and her boyfriend) who inspired the lyrics in a stained-glass class. "Writing the song took about three weeks," he says. "Being hot for the girl took about five seconds." -- NICK MURRAY

Fun Fact: Springfield accepted his part as General Hospital's Dr. Noah Drake after recording "Jessie's Girl," unsure if the song would ever be released.

52. "One Dance" - Drake feat. WizKid & Kyla (No. 2, 2016)

53. "Hurts So Good" - John Cougar (No. 1, 1982)

METHODOLOGY:

Billboard's Top 100 Songs of the Summer 1958-2017 chart is based on each track’s performance on the Billboard Hot 100 during the summer tracking period from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The chart was compiled utilizing an inverse point system for 1959 (the Hot 100’s first full summer) through 1991 (the final summer prior to the advent of Nielsen Music data), with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. From 1992 through 2017, the chart incorporates point totals accumulated from radio airplay and sales, as well as points from other data sets (i.e., streaming) that were included in the Hot 100. Years were then weighted to ensure fairly equal representation for songs of all eras of the Hot 100’s history.

[Sherane Lamar]

They should do Song of the Autumn, Song of the Spring, and Song of the Winter as well.

[Gary]

I would expect a 60th anniversary update of all 4 seasons combined within a couple months

[fhas]

Blurred Lines is bigger than I thought! It was a bigger summer hit than Despacito and Billboard is using real points!

[Deleted]

One Dance didn’t peak at #2.

[Gary]

Probably a typo, I am sure the position on this chart is still accurate

[wicked]

Does chartdata literally just browse pulse and copy paste random stuff that gets posted?

I believe it! The song was definitely a HUGE pop culture moment and completely inescapable.

I am, however, surprised at how low California Gurls is. Whenever I think of summer hits, that is like the first song I always think of. I mean, I guess #32 out of 59 years of music isn't anything to sneeze at, but I still expected it to be top 20.

[Me. I Am l!nk!nfan815...]

Mariah is such a music queen. Legendary dahhling

[owenlovesmusic]

I am really surprised by the 2017 list. Didn't realize Congratulations was that big! When I think of Summer '17, I think of Wild Thoughts, Despacito, Body Like a Back Road, Unforgettable, Malibu and Bad Liar.

Billboard's Annual Songs of the Summer Chart Returns, Led by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande's 'Rain on Me'
6/3/2020 by Gary Trust



The annual summery summary is back, as the race officially begins for the top summer song of 2020.
What will be the No. 1 song of the summer of 2020? We can officially begin making our way toward the answer, as Billboard's annual Songs of the Summer chart returns to Billboard.com today (June 3).

The 20-position Songs of the Summer running tally tracks the most popular titles based on cumulative performance on the weekly streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100 chart from Memorial Day through Labor Day (this year encompassing charts dated June 6 through Sept. 5). At the end of the season, the top song of the summer will be revealed.

Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's "Rain on Me," the Hot 100's new leader, ranks at No. 1 on 2020's first Songs of the Summer chart (dated June 6). Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage," featuring Beyoncé, places at No. 2, followed by DaBaby's "Rockstar," featuring Roddy Ricch (No. 3), The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" (No. 4) and Doja Cat's "Say So" (No. 5).

Last year, Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," claimed the title of No. 1 song of the summer, after Drake's "In My Feelings" won in 2018. In 2017, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, wore the crown, after Drake's "One Dance," featuring WizKid and Kyla, reigned in 2016 and OMI's "Cheerleader" took top honors in 2015.

Check out the top 10 summer songs every year throughout the Hot 100's history (from the chart's start in 1958) and this season's first weekly Songs of the Summer chart in its entirety.

They should do Song of the Autumn, Song of the Spring, and Song of the Winter as well.

Circles is basically the anthem of the Autumn.

Hope a woman gets Song of the Summer title even tho it's gonna be ROCKSTAR. it's been men for the last boring 5 years

[higilo]

Whilst I'd be happy for it to be a girl, I love ROCKSTAR and would be just as happy for that to take it

Blurred Lines is bigger than I thought! It was a bigger summer hit than Despacito and Billboard is using real points!

I believe it! The song was definitely a HUGE pop culture moment and completely inescapable.

I am, however, surprised at how low California Gurls is. Whenever I think of summer hits, that is like the first song I always think of. I mean, I guess #32 out of 59 years of music isn't anything to sneeze at, but I still expected it to be top 20.

I don't care where it's ranked, California Gurls SCREAMS summer to me.

DaBaby & Roddy Ricch's 'Rockstar' Finishes First on Billboard's 2020 Songs of the Summer Chart
9/8/2020 by Gary Trust

Plus, summer superlatives for The Weeknd & BTS.
DaBaby's "Rockstar," featuring Roddy Ricch, wraps at No. 1 on Billboard's 2020 Songs of the Summer chart.

The 20-position Songs of the Summer running tally tracks the most popular titles based on cumulative performance on the weekly streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100 chart from Memorial Day through Labor Day (this year encompassing charts dated June 6 through Sept. 12).

"Rockstar" ruled for 13 of this year's 15 Songs of the Summer tracking weeks, having taken over at No. 1 on the chart dated June 20, after Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's "Rain on Me" led the first list and Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage," featuring Beyoncé, topped the second tally.

"Rockstar" has led the weekly Hot 100 for seven weeks, this week placing at No. 4.

Rounding out the 2020 Songs of the Summer top five: The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" (No. 2); Jack Harlow's "Whats Poppin," featuring DaBaby, Tory Lanez and Lil Wayne (No. 3); "Savage" (No. 4); and SAINt JHN's "Roses" (No. 5).

Notably, with DaBaby at No. 1 with "Rockstar" and No. 3 with "Whats Poppin," he's the first artist to boast two titles in the top three on a season-ending Songs of the Summer chart since Cardi B just two years ago. In 2018, she held Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, with her own "I Like It," with Bad Bunny and J Balvin, and as featured on Maroon 5's "Girls Like You."

As for the top titles this summer in each of the Hot 100's three metrics, "Rockstar" was the most streamed (514.6 million, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, as reflected on charts dated June 6 through Sept. 12); "Blinding Lights" was the most-heard on radio (1.2 billion audience impressions); and BTS' "Dynamite" was the most-sold, claiming first place thanks to just its first two sales frames in the last two weeks of the season's tracking period (486,000 combined digital and physical sales).

In 2019, Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, won the Songs of the Summer title. In 2018, Drake's "In My Feelings" took top honors.

With "Rockstar," "Old Town Road" and "In My Feelings" all having hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, 2018-20 marks the first three-year streak of season-ending Songs of the Summer No. 1s that led the genre list since 2001-05, when Usher's "U Remind Me" (2001), Nelly's "Hot in Herre" (2002), Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love," featuring Jay-Z (2003), Usher's "Confessions Part II" (2004) and Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" (2005) all finished first.

Check out the top 10 summer songs every year throughout the Hot 100's history (from the chart's start in 1958) and the final 2020 Songs of the Summer chart in its entirety.

It's pretty funny how Circles was released at the end of last summer but still finished Top 10 this summer
