My Songs Know What You Listened To This Summer

Whether it's new to the music sales or you just can't stop singing that one super catchy chorus to some bubble-gummy pop radio hit, we are ALL hooked on music that's helped transpire our summers thus far. It may not just aid as background noise to a busy work day or pass off as something you heard but you can't seem to remember the name of the song (finally got the Shazam app...what a life saver) but music that we connect our time to. i.e. "OMG- that one Icona Pop song is lykeee, the song of the summer lolz!"

I've called upon some friends to give me a list of tunes that they've been listening to and that have helped contribute to the nature of their summers, ranging from one song, many songs, a specific album, or artist.
Nod and agree if you spot any personal matches:

Icona Pop, "I Love It"

Great Gatsby Soundtrack

Pitch Perfect Soundtrack

Tegan & Sara, "Closer"

Robin Thicke, "Blurred Lines"

Cat Stevens

The Bell Brigade, "Sweet Louise"

Hillsong United, Zion

Passion Pit

Vampire Weekend, Modern Vampires of the City

Imagine Dragons

Lana Del Rey, "Summertime Sadness"

Anything on B96

Justin Timberlake, The 20/20 Experience

Anything including Jay-Z

Rihannah, "Stay"

Evermore

Robbie Williams, "Candy"

Of Monsters And Men

An exceptional list if you ask me. Perhaps you were looking to amp up your summer playlist so when you and 5 of your closest besties decide to bonfire one night or road trip to bestie #6's place...these names and songs will surely benefit your ear canals. And don't be afraid to go back in time and dig out some summer oldies but goodies too! No idea what I'm talking about? Shhhh...it'll all be over soon.
