Every Song of the Summer since 2000

It’s Song of the Summer SZN, with a few contenders vying for the title of the tune we’ll associate with this year’s hot weather and vacations for decades to come.

Sure, it’s an unofficial title for the song that we’ll hear endlessly between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but Billboard has ranked them for decades, so maybe it’s more official than we think?

As we settle into the summer months, it’s a good time to run through these and reminisce about all the songs and the moments you associate with them. So, with that in mind, here’s every Song of Summer from 2000 onward:
