Here are the top summer songs of the past 30 years
Def Jam
It's still early, but Drake's "One Dance" off his new album "Views" is currently battling it out on the Billboard Hot 100, while other new contenders from Zayn Malik to Justin Timberlake are vying take the 2016 Song of the Summer slot, and get blasted in football stadiums and supermarkets across the land in the coming months.
We compiled the biggest song of each summer since 1985, based on Billboard's data for chart performance during the those months.
One interesting takeaway: Mariah Carey and Katy Perry are the only two artists to take over summer more than once, at least as lead artists (Jay Z is featured on two of the hits). And there are plenty of oddities, including last year's reggae/house smash "Cheerleader."
