Top 5 songs of the summer
| A summer song needs to be fun, light and catchy and this year the charts are full of pop rhythms set to become favourites. Successful summer singles stimulate excitement and happiness and encourage people to get outside into the sunshine. Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock This popular electro hop song smashed the charts to reach number one in both the UK single and dance charts. Lines like "everybody just have a good time, and we gonna make you lose your mind" will definitely get people in the mood and the tune is made for the summer. It will continue to get loads of air time on the radio because of its party and pop vibes. The song is irresistible because it captures the rave culture linked to the summer season. The Lazy Song - Bruno Mars This song has all the right ingredients to be the perfect summer anthem. The rhythm may not be as up-tempo as other songs but it is so chilled that everyone will sit back and enjoy the long lazy summer days. The poppy tune and reggae sounds ooze summer vibes. "Today I don't feel like doing anything," inspires everyone to head to the park and chill in the sun. Last Friday Night (TGIF) - Katy Perry This song's wild music video is typical Katy Perry and has received a lot of attention. The tune is unforgettable with a likeable chorus. The lyrics suggest that Katy is reminiscing of past summers, "We went streaking in the park, skinny dipping in the dark," which automatically makes us re-live our own past summers. Summer singles are often about dreams and many of us will want to escape to her party. Best Thing I Never Had - Beyonce Despite being released early in the summer season, Best Thing I Never Had remains popular. This song has been in the UK singles chart for 5 weeks and is set to be a memorable summer song, following Beyonce's epic performance at the Glastonbury Festival in June. It is not a typical summer anthem as it lacks the usual dance rhythm but this R&B ballad has an irresistible connection with its love based lyrics and catchy chorus. Don't wanna go home - Jason Derulo This UK chart topper is an appealing summer tune. With 6 weeks in the UK singles chart there's no doubting its popularity. The "Day-O" feature from "Banana Boat Song" is a cheesy hook but makes it a summer hit reminding listeners of dreamy Jamaica. It's set to be a dance floor feat due to its 90s dance tune and tempo. It's a song that is associated with having a good time and its harmonies are irresistible. This song is a mood changer. These songs have it all ranging from flamboyant videos, chilled melodies and ‘poppy' rhythms. All of these hit singles can be bought from HMV online and in store. In addition, Play.com has a huge range of music at great prices so be sure to check out these stores to stock up on your summer tunes. |
