Ok! I would like to officially add HARDROCKLOVER by Prince as an official hit song of the summer! Will it be a smash hit? No. But this song hits and smashes anything out there right now IMO so YES a huge hit for me this summer. Party Hard P! [Edited 7/2/15 16:11pm]

Its enough of a "smash" because fans really LOVE it.

A video and a performance on The Tonight Show would make things happen but...

I'm not a fan of the song but this could make a mark:

Here's another already released single that many are placing bets on....to me we already heared this...last summer...same producer...same sound...same song...NEXT!!!

I really HATE this awful song!

This can officially be called a flop now. It was ranked number 97 in the Billboard Hot 100 this week after already dropping out of the top 40 three weeks ago. Iggy is already talking trash about Britney not promoting the single.

But enough of that. Looks like this fight song is rising up the charts pretty quickly. At first I thought "Great! A song about some chick laying some smack into her haters and slapping the taste out their mouths!" But apparently it's not that kind of fight song.

so....did we come up with an answer?

i love Where Ar U Now from Diplo ft Justin

It's been officially summer for a while now. Months have passed since you had your "first iced coffee of the season," the condensation pooling on your iPhone screen as you excitedly snapped a photo of the brown liquid. The 4th of July has come and gone, our celebration of grilled meats as ephemeral as the flash of fireworks on our Instagram feeds. And as we creep past theI-hope-my-co-workers-don't-notice-these-pit-stains phase into the I-hate-everything-literally-when-is-winter? period of the season, we are still, somehow, without a Song of Summer.

It is more than halfway through July, and the whirring of your piece-of-crap, window-unit air conditioner is probably a better contender for Song of Summer than anything we've heard so far. Although perhaps ambient noise is a better option than what we got last year: a song from an Australian...ican south and trying to con us into thinking she was the "realest."

Is the Song of Summer dead? Could it be that the advent of streaming services and decline of the once omnipresent radio have shifted to dilute the possibility of the anthem which has defined the sea... the 1910s? Is everything is just terrible?

One thing is for certain: We are desperate for a song of this summer. In May, Billboard posted a poll, and One Direction's "No Control" won by a landslide after a guerilla effort by The...76% margin. In June, Ryan Seacrest held a "song of summer competition," during which he presumably asked a few people and also Giuliana Rancic for their opinion, ultimately naming "Pretty Girls" the winner. Vulture andEntertainment Weekly have since published their own lists of 2015's contenders, which contain precisely neither of those songs and have no songs in common to boot.

We are flailing around like one of those blow-up tube men outside of a car dealership, desperate for a sense of direction (possibly led by One Direction). What will define the zeitgeist of this pop culture season beyond a newly racist Atticus Finch and more disgusting news about Bill Cosby? Most importantly, what are we supposed to listen to while day-drinking?

We can't wait any longer. We have to pick a song of summer or this summer will be lost in the blackhole of history, as forgettable as that time you went to brunch without your cellphone. Your options are below, America. Vote for one of these crap choices or the Song of Summer will die like Tinkerbell in productions of "Peter Pan" where the audience doesn't clap hard enough.

What kind of article is this? First of all, summer isn't over yet, and depending on what you choose to listen to you may have completely missed the huge song of the summer. If you are a pop music fan who loves Katy Perry or Taylor Swift, you probably wouldn't call "Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap the song of the summer even though it's all up on R&B/hip-hop radio. And electronica junkies probably don't care much for "Honey I'm Good" by Andy Grammer, even though it's probably the most played song on lite FM radio.

Havoing said that, there are usually multiple songs of the summer, mostly because such song will blow up late in July or early August. Iggy Azalea may have struck first last summer with "Fancy" but by the middle of summer "Rude" by Magic! was all over the radio. The year before that Robin Thicke had the song of the summer with "Blurred Lines", but arguments could have been made for "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk/Pharrell Williams, "Cruise (remix)" by Florida/Georgia Line and Nelly, and "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus as being songs of the summer. 2012 gave us "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen, but Flo Rida's "Whistle" blew up late. 2011 had Adele hitting it big with "Rolling In The Deep" in the spring and staying huge well into midsummer, but then Foster The People's "Pumped Up Kicks" and LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" took the crown later on. And in 2010 Katy Perry dominated the radio with "California Gurlz" but B.o.B.'s "Airplanes" was also huge that summer.

IT'S A GREAT SONG

Agreed it is a pretty great song and highly addictive!

Also, thanks for the add 214 - Where U Know was previously mentioned and as hard as it is to say this the song ft Bieber is highly addictive too! (and the video is pretty dope too!)
