Ahhh. Summer. The time of the year when the weather gets warm, people wear lighter and skimpier clothing, go out to the beach, amusement park, or swimming pool, and have lots of barbecues. It's also the time where people crank up their radios or blast their favorite summer jam from their speakers.

But what song is going to be the summer jam of 2014? Sure, last year brought us "Blurred Lines" with Robin Thicke and a trio of topless hot babes in his video, and it also brought the retro funk/disco vibe of Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams' "Get Lucky" which was inescapeable. (It also brought us Miley Cyrus twerking to "We Can't Stop" but that's another story.) 2012 brought us the catchy "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen while 2011 brought LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" and Foster The People's "Pumped Up Kicks." Katy Perry arguably had two of the biggest summer jams in "I Kissed A Girl" (2008) and "California Gurlz" (2010). Who could forget past summer jams like "I Want It That Way," "We Belong Together," "Crazy In Love," "Hot In Herre," or "Sweet Child Of Mine"?

But back to this summer. What song will be the anthem of 2014?

Will it be "Sky Full of Stars" by Coldplay?



Will it be something on the new album by Mariah Carey, pop heiress?



Will it be Mariah Carey's heir apparent, Ariana Grande?



Will it be from her her rap interlude partner, Iggy Azalea?



Will it be "Summer" by Calvin Harris?



Will it be from Australian boy band 5 Seconds of Summer?



Will it be "Am I Wrong" from Norwegian sensations Nico and Vinz?



Will it be "Chandelier" by Sia?



Or will it be something else? Maybe a song that hasn't been released yet? Discuss.

"Love Never Felt So Good" by Michael Jackson has all the makings of a summer smash it's a smooth,breezy jam.I feel the same way about "Loving You",another song from the Xscape album.

How about soccer songs?

Worlwide speaking? That's either La La La by Shakira or We Are One by Shitbull, as you know soccer die hard fans make 80% of the world population and they'll damn sure sing that song day and night just like they did 4 years ago with Waka Waka...

US speaking, I think it's that Iggy Azelea song (Fancy) or the one with Ariana Grande..

Kygo is the definitive sound of Summer 2014..

So either Seinabo Sey - Younger

Or Kyla La Grange - Cut Your Teeth

Ariana and Iggy's Problem and it's a long shot but I wish they would release Pharrell's Brand New as a single because it had what it takes to be a lighthearted but (ahem...) groovy summer jam. Love Never Felt so Good is also likely to clean house this summer, something I'm not sure how to feel about.

I somehow don't want this summer to be another disco-filled summer, that's for 2013 only, it's what's so special about 2013, its the disco revival; Daft Punk, Bruno Mars, Robin Thicke, Pharrell.... These guys made great funky songs and were a soundtrack to the summer of last year.

I'm good with any sound this year but EDM.

Even though it dropped as a single in Spring, this is the biggest hit on Iggy's album ("Problem" isn't even on it), and I noticed a lot of friends/family enjoying this. As well, when the radio is playing a current song, it is usually this one!!

Cornel West dissed Happy at the Left Forum. lol. Remember Don't Worry Be Happy?

if Pharrell's song "Gust Of Wind" (with Daft Punk) was a single right now,it would possibly be THE song of the summer

This will not be "The Song of The Summer" but it is MY Song of the Summer. I love this song! AWESOME rock and roll!

that Shakira song for the FIFA WORLD CUP 2014
