The Billboard 2024 Songs of the Summer
And just like that, Summer is almost over.
Good.
I’m a Fall/Winter girl all the way.
That being said, Billboard just released their annual “Songs of the Summer” list, and here’s the Top 10:
. “I Had Some Help”, Post Malone and Morgan Wallen:
You know it’s catchy as all get out.
And this is the second Summer in a row that Morgan Wallen had the Billboard Song of the Summer. He was #1 last year, too, with his smash “Last Night”.
This makes him the first artist since 1978 to make that happen. Andy Gibb was the last artist to do it with “I Just Want to Be Your Everything” and “Shadow Dancing”.
Impressive, no?
2. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”, Shaboozey:
Shaboozey could actually have the Song of the Year with “Tipsy”, as it just clocked it’s 8th week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Again, catchy as hell, and has been living rent-free in my head all Summer.
3. “Not Like Us”, Kendrick Lamar
Easily the Hip Hop song of the Summer. If I still went clubbing like I did two decades ago. I’d have been all about it.
It’s now on my workout playlist, because I’m old.
4. “Espresso”, Sabrina Carpenter
What a Summer Sabrina Carpenter has had. She has two songs on the Billboard Songs of the Summer chart, and now has the #1 album with “Short N’ Sweet” and I absolutely adore her and her sound.
5. “Million Dollar Baby”, Tommy Richman:
Call me crazy, but I’m thinking “One Hit Wonder” with this one. I mean, I may be wrong, but right now that’s how I’m feeling.
Still, super fun song, though.
6. “Please Please Please”, Sabrina Carpenter:
Again, Sabrina is killing it.
7. “Too Sweet”, Hozier:
I remember when Hozier had a hit with “Take Me to Church” years ago. But “Too Sweet” has become his first actual #1 this Summer.
8. “Lose Control”, Teddy Swims
Hot damn, Teddy Swims is amazing. He’ll be around for awhile, as he totally should be. Definitely on of my favorite newer artists on the scene.
9. “Birds of a Feather”, Billie Eilish:
This is definitely my favorite from Billie so far… it really shows off her voice, which is incredible. My only complaint is the lyrics… rot, casket… ew. I have an overactive imagination, and this triggers it. Overall, good song, though!
10. “Beautiful Things”, Benson Boone:
This may be my favorite song of the year, actually.
It reminds me of all the beautiful things in my life, and to not take them for granted.
Really loving Benson Boone as an artist, and can’t wait to see where he goes.
And that’s a wrap on the Billboard Songs of the Summer for 2024.
