“The song of the summer” designation is given to that one catchy track we can’t escape all summer long, and this year has given us several strong candidates. The race for the “song of the summer” wages on, and these three artists are on the verge of coming out victorious.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter scored her first No. 1 single with “Please Please Please”—and this isn’t even her strongest “song of the summer” contender. That honor belongs to “Espresso”, the bubblegum pop anthem that’s been blaring everywhere we go all summer long.
Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan went from relative unknown to a huge sensation in just a few months, and her breakout hit “Good Luck, Babe!” helped her get there. She also found viral success with several other songs this summer, including “Hot To Go!” and “Red Wine Supernova”.
Charli XCX
If we had to pick one album that summer 2024 would be remembered by, Charli XCX’s Brat would make the cut. It influenced pop culture at large and made it to the cultural fabric of our society, producing several songs worthy of the “song of the summer” title, including the viral hit “Apple” and the “Girl, So Confusing” remix featuring Lorde.
