^^Theres more to a song being called the song of the Summer, than just Stats.
I would call Bleeding Love or Take A Bow the song of the Summer.
YES a ballad CAN be the song of the Summer.

Bleeding Love and Take A Bow have already peaked and are falling down the charts...
And yes a ballad can be, We Belong Together was the biggest song of the summer 2005.
Songs of the Summer are usually like this
May/June, start getting hype, starts to explode, racing up the charts July/Early August, peaks out Mid/Late August, starts plummeting down the charts..
IKAG has everything and more to be called song of the summer
Its hot, upbeat, and catchy, and is ruling the charts,what more needs to be proven really people?

Your making it seem like their a certain formula for the song of the Summer.

^are you kidding 4 minutes never reached its airplay or Hot 100 peak or digital sales peak...and IKAG will most likely pass 4M in sales in a few weeks...(maybe 4 minutes was a bigger success worldwide but hey its fucking Madonna, world icon) and what does 4 Minutes have to do with a song of the summer

I'm thru. It's sad how I can't even have a decent and mature conversation with you without you jumping to conclusions. I'm not hating. It's called an opinion.

Yeah this has definitely been much more success than "4 Minutes". "Bleeding Love" was done by the end of May. "Take a Bow" was, essentially, done by late June. This song is still getting tons of downloads etc etc.

song of the summer has kinda got to have gotten to #1 on radio....... (i think) nothing against this song......
I don't really think there is one particular song of the summer.. i think there are a few songs that qualify

^^^^ you do have a point there but umbrella was evidently more popular than any other song last summer. this summer is not very clear, there is no 1 song...

I think this song deserves to be the summer anthem cause in like 2 weeks it became extremely popular while other songs released prior to this, haven't been as popular as this one. Though I was rooting for Disturbia to be the song of the summer, this one deserves it as well.

Bleeding Love, song of the summer doesnt give out right in the middle.... At this moment, there is no song more popular here in the US, it proves in the digital sales #1 4 weeks in a row for sales and BB #1 4 weeks in a row. Nothing is really close to touching this at the moment, Leavin' isnt even in the Top 10 of the digital charts or BB Hot 100, Pocketful Of Sunshine isnt as popular as this is, Disturbia wont even peak till the summer is basically over, Chris Brown's Forever is climbing up the charts but its not memorable.

I don't know why people have to argue over every little title you people make. LOL! Song of the Summer?! Of course it has to be a song that YOU like, eh? It can't be a song that you're not overly fond of so of COURSE it can't be 'I Kissed A Girl'! Because you don't like it much! All of these titles aren't even about the songs at all! "It" Girl of the Year? Artist of the Decade? Song of the Summer? Hell no! It's all about YOU! lmao!!! "This singer is NOT the It Girl of the year! WHY?! Because I don't like her! So I think it's this person and I'm going to bring up some random stats to show that because I can't let you get away with saying the singer I don't like is the IT girl of the year!!! SMASH!!!"
Of course this is the song of the summer!

As much as I like this song, I think that Bleeding Love is a better fit for "Song of the Summer." There is not a day that goes by without me hearing Bleeding Love at least four times, as opposed to IKAG which I hear at most twice a day.
If we go statistically speaking, Jesse McCartney wins right =/ (You'd think with a number one song he'd be selling more. I think his song BLOWS CHUNKS though.)

Is there ever just 1 song of the summer?
I feel like this argument will only be settled a year or two from now in hindsight.

Bleeding Love was the #1 spring-to-summer song imo. After June it started to die and I Kissed A Girl exploded and it's the #1 song of the country for a month now and it'll probably be for another month if it keeps selling like that.

So #2 is officially it's peak. Not too shabby for a new artist who wasn't even known by POP radio before this.
