summer hits

Warm-weather chart-toppers

Summer hits are popular songs that dominate radio and playlists during the warm months, typically upbeat tracks suited to parties, road trips, and outdoor gatherings.

The term suggests both commercial success and a carefree, escapist quality: That song was one of the summer hits of 2019.

Some become perennial favorites; others fade by autumn.
