Katy Perry, Morgan Wallen & All the Artists Who Have Had the Song of the Summer Twice

1977: “I Just Want to Be Your Everything”

1978: “Shadow Dancing”

Notes: Gibb was the first artist to have the Song of the Summer twice. Three artists had come very close, landing the Song of the Summer once and then having the No. 2 Song of the Summer. Paul Anka had the Song of the Summer for 1959 with “Lonely Boy” and finished second in 1974 with his comeback smash “(You’re) Having My Baby” (with Odia Coates). The Rolling Stones had the Song of the Summer in 1965 with “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” and finished second in 1969 with “Honky Tonk Women.” The Doors had the Song of the Summer in 1967 with “Light My Fire” and finished second the following summer with “Hello, I Love You.”

Gibb, who was 19 and 20 in those two summers, was maintaining a family tradition. His brothers, the Bee Gees, had the Song of the Summer in 1971 with “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.”

1990: “Vision of Love”

2005: “We Belong Together”

Notes: Carey has the longest span of Song of the Summer champs – 15 years. She became the first woman to have the Song of the Summer twice and the second artist (following Gibb) to repeat without any credited collaborators on either hit.

2003: Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” (featuring Jay-Z)

2007: Rihanna’s “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z)

Notes: Jay-Z became the first hip-hop artist to have the Song of the Summer twice. He remains the only artist (from any genre) to score both times as a featured artist.

2001: “U Remind Me”

2004: “Confessions Part II”

Notes: Usher became the third artist (following Gibb and Carey) to have the Song of the Summer twice without any credited collaborators on either hit.

2008: “I Kissed a Girl”

2010: “California Gurls” (featuring Snoop Dogg)

Notes: Perry became the second woman to have the Song of the Summer twice and is the woman with the shortest gap between Song of the Summer champs.

2016: “One Dance” (featuring WizKid and Kyla)

2018: “In My Feelings”

Notes: Drake, who was born in Canada, became the second artist who wasn’t born in the U.S. to have the Song of the Summer twice. The first was Gibb, who was born in England.

2023: “Last Night”

2024: Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” (featuring Morgan Wallen)

Notes: Wallen is the second artist to have the Song of the Summer in back-to-back years. He’s also the only artist to have the Song of the Summer once as a lead artist and once as a featured artist. And he’s the only country artist to have the Song of the Summer twice.
