Summer Songs 1958-2022: The Top 10 Tunes of Each Summer

Hot weather plus nostalgia makes for a potent mix(tape). In order to aid your festive flashbacks, we analyzed the Billboard Hot 100 chart for each year dating back to the chart’s 1958 launch. Here’s the definitive list of the top 10 jams each summer that pumped out of your stereo most between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

These hot tunes are ranked based on each track’s performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the summer. For the period through 1991, prior to the advent of Luminate radio monitoring and point-of-sales data, the rankings are based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower ranks earning less. For the years corresponding with Luminate data tabulation, 1992 onward, the rankings are based on accumulated radio and sales points, and points from other data sets, including streaming, included in the Hot 100 during those years.

Billboard’s Songs of the Summer Chart Returns, Led by Morgan Wallen’s ‘Last Night’

What will be the No. 1 song of the summer of 2023? We’re making our way toward the answer, as Billboard’s annual Songs of the Summer chart returns to Billboard.com today (June 6).

The 20-position Songs of the Summer running tally tracks the most popular titles based on cumulative performance on the weekly streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100 chart from Memorial Day through Labor Day (this year encompassing charts dated June 10 through Sept. 9). At the end of the season, the top song of the summer will be revealed.

Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” ranks at No. 1 on the season’s initial Songs of the Summer survey. The track tops the Hot 100 for a ninth week and Hot Country Songs for a 17th frame. No song has earned season-end No. 1 status on the Songs of the Summer chart after leading the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs; notably, Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One” ruled Hot Country Songs, hit No. 2 on the Hot 100 and finished at No. 2 on the 1998 Songs of the Summer recap.

Meanwhile, one title has hit the top 10 on both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs and claimed top seasonal honors on Songs of the Summer: John Denver’s “Annie’s Song,” in 1974. The ballad reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 and No. 9 on Hot Country Songs.

Taylor Swift’s “Karma” featuring Ice Spice places at No. 2 on the inaugural 2023 Songs of the Summer chart, followed in the top five by Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (No. 3), Lil Durk’s “All My Life,” featuring J. Cole (No. 4), and Rema and Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down” (No. 5).

Harry Styles’ “As It Was” was the season-ending No. 1 hit on the 2022 Songs of the Summer chart, after BTS’ “Butter” glided to a top finish in 2021; DaBaby’s “Rockstar” featuring Roddy Ricch wrapped on top in 2020; Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus took the title in 2019; and Drake’s “In My Feelings” won in 2018.

Check out the top 10 summer songs every year throughout the Hot 100’s history (from the chart’s start in 1958), the top 500 Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer and this season’s first weekly Songs of the Summer chart in its entirety.

Tool Announces Dates For 2023 North American Fall Tour

Tool are hitting the road this fall. The prog rockers announced the dates for a North American tour on Tuesday morning (June 6), including their first Canadian shows since 2019. The fall outing will compliment the band’s previously announced summer festival gigs with six weeks of new non-fest shows slated to kick off on Oct. 3 in Loveland, CO at the Budweiser Event Center.

The two-month fall outing will include gigs in Salt Lake City, Spokane, Portland, Vancouver, Calgary, St. Paul, Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia and Montreal before wrapping up with a pair of shows on Nov. 20-21 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Tickets for all the non-festival shows will go on sale on Friday (June 9) at 10 a.m. local time, with additional Tool Army memberships recently opened up; exclusive pre-sale tickets for members will go on sale at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday (June 8). The band — who are touring in support of what was their first full-length release in 13 years, 2019’s album Fear Inoculum — will kick off the run on Sept. 22 with a slot at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, KY and also play the Aftershock Festival on Oct. 6 in Sacramento, CA and the hard rock desert superfest Power Trip on Oct. 8 in Indio, CA.

Singer Maynard James Keenan made news last month when he wore what appeared to be drag during a set at Daytona Beach’s Welcome to Rockville Festival, that seemed at first to be a reaction to the series of controversial bills signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis recently that ban minors from attending drag shows. But the vocalist who often wears women’s clothes and bizarre costumes on stage later said the choice was personal, not political.

“I’ve been cross-dressing since long before these clickbait-junkie dupes were out of diapers,” he told The Messenger. “And that’s really all there is to it. I’m not a political fella — had nothing to do with Florida.”

Sam Smith Shares ‘Really Positive News’ About Vocal Issues That Caused Show Cancelation

Sam Smith had some good news for fans this weekend about the vocal cord issues that caused the singer to unexpectedly exit a show in Manchester early last month. “I’ve just come back from the doctors today. It’s actually really positive news. My vocal cords are healing, and after a week of vocal rest, it’s looking good,” Smith said in an Instagram video on Saturday that has since gone away. “It’s looking like I’m going to be OK for the rest of the shows, and that’s really amazing news.”

Smith exited his gig at the Manchester AO Arena on May 24 after just four songs, telling Sailors at the time, “I don’t know what to say honestly. I fought off a virus a few weeks ago and since then we have travelled across Europe and had such incredible shows,” speaking of the issues that have dogged them on the tour in support of their Gloria album.

In their latest post, Smith apologized to fans who bought tickets for canceled shows in Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow, saying the issue was “completely out of my control. I’ll be doing everything I can to get back to you guys as soon as I can. I’ll keep you updated moving forward but thank you again.” At press time the shows had not yet been rescheduled.

Smith’s next scheduled tour date is a July 5 gig at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, followed by a North American tour slated to launch with a July 26 gig in Miami at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Lewis Capaldi Apologizes to Fans After Canceling Euro Shows Before Glastonbury Slot: ‘I Need to Take a Moment to Rest’

Lewis Capaldi apologized to fans in a lengthy Instagram post on Monday (June 5) in which he revealed that he’s taking the next two weeks off to spend time at home with his family in the lead-up to the Glastonbury Festival later this month. Capaldi, 26, regretted to inform them that he was canceling upcoming planned shows in Glasgow, Dublin, London and Norway in the coming weeks to “rest and recover.”

“This is a really difficult message and one that hurts me a lot to have to type. But I’m really sorry to say that I’m going to have to cancel all commitments from now until I play Glastonbury,” he wrote of the festival that takes place from June 21-25 at Worthy Farm, with Capaldi slated to take the stage on the 24th. “It’s been such an incredible time leading into this new album, and seeing all of the support from everyone has been beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of,” he added.

“That said, the last few months have been full on both mentally and physically, I haven’t been home properly since Christmas and at the moment I’m struggling to get to grips with it all. I need to take a moment to rest and recover, to be at my best and ready for Glastonbury and all of the other incredible shows coming up so that I’m able to continue doing what I love for a long time to come.”

Capaldi, who has bee touring in support of his Broken By Desire to Be Heavenly Sent album — which just notched a second week atop the U.K. album charts — said he needs to take some time over the next few weeks to be “Lewis from Glasgow for a bit,” and spend time with his family and friends and “do normal life things that are an important part of me feeling better. I hope everyone understands.”

The “Wish You the Best” singer has spoken in the past about the impact of fame on his mental health as well as his struggles with Tourette’s syndrome and panic attacks related to his rapid rise to the top of the charts, which were chronicled in his Netflix documentary Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now.

The singer lamented the cost to fans who spent money on tickets, travel and hotels to the scotched shows, “which I appreciate more than ever with how difficult things are economically,” he wrote. “So I’m extremely sorry for the impact this will have,” he added. “The fact that you’re willing to come out and spend your time, money and love on these shows is beyond comprehension and I feel incredibly lucky.”

Lewis concluded by assuring fans that he’s getting “all the help and support” he needs from his team at this time. “I take none of this for granted and can’t wait to be back doing it again.”

Country Albums Are Half of the Billboard 200 Top 10 for the First Time in Nearly a Decade

The top 10 of the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart is more than a little bit country this week, as a full half of the region are country titles. It’s the first time there are five country albums in the top 10 in nearly a decade.

The country sets in the top 10 on the chart dated June 10 are: Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time and Dangerous: The Double Album (Nos. 2 and 5, with the former falling from the No. 1 slot after spending its first 12 weeks at No. 1), Luke Combs’ Gettin’ Old (No. 7), Zach Bryan’s American Heartbreak (No. 9) and Bailey Zimmerman’s Religiously. The Album. (No. 10). (Country albums are those that have charted on, or are eligible for, Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.)

The chart last had at least five country sets in the top 10 on the Oct. 5, 2013-dated list. That week, Justin Moore’s Off the Beaten Path debuted at No. 2, Chris Young’s A.M. launched at No. 3, Luke Bryan’s former leader Crash My Party was at No. 6, Keith Urban’s Fuse fell from the top spot to No. 8, and Billy Currington’s We Are Tonight debuted at No. 10.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multimetric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new June 10, 2023-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 6. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Ariana Grande Pokes Fun at Her Winged Eyeliner ‘Phase’ on TikTok

For years, Ariana Grande was usually seen in a signature makeup look that included a thick, winged eyeliner and plump lips.

Nowadays, the “Positions” singer is opting for a more natural makeup look, mostly focused on fluttery lashes and hydrated skin, and she took to TikTok to share a hilarious video poking fun at her younger self.

In the clip posted to Grande’s TikTok page, the star is seen mouthing along to a popular clip from Keeping Up With the Kardashians, in which Kim Kardashian asks her mother Kris Jenner, “Do you think your eyes are a little too smokey for every day?”

The clip then jumps to Grande doing her old makeup look, drawing on her feline-inspired eyeliner as she mouths Jenner’s response, “Yeah, I’m going through a phase. Is that OK with you?”

“Me to old me who wouldn’t dare be seen without a thick cat eye and an over drawn lip,” the “POV” singer wrote over the video, tagging her makeup brand r.e.m. Beauty in the caption. In the video, Grande is still rocking her blonde hair as she is in the midst of filming the highly-anticipated movie adaptation of Wicked, in which she plays Glinda the Good Witch.

Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner Reacts to BTS’ Jung Kook Co-Signing Her ‘Crying in H Mart’ Book

Japanese Breakfast lead singer Michelle Zauner has a fan in BTS‘ Jung Kook. Zauner had the perfect reaction when finding out that the BTS vocalist purchased a copy of her 2021 memoir, Crying in H Mart, on Sunday.

Jung Kook sat down for a Weverse Live to speak with fans for nearly two hours. During the casual chat, the K-pop star revealed that he picked up a copy of Zauner’s New York Times bestselling book and held up the book in the live.

After catching wind of Jung Kook’s promo of her novel, Zauner took to her Instagram Story and wrote, “Excuse me Jung Kook has bought a copy of Crying in H Mart!!!!!” Over on Twitter, she reposted a tweet that informed BTS fans of Jung Kook’s co-sign of the book and quote-tweeted it with several excited exclamation points.

Crying in H Mart is slated to become a feature film. Zauner is currently holding an open casting call to see who will play her in the movie. Meanwhile, the director was recently announced to be White Lotus star Will Sharpe.

“I am so relieved to have found Will Sharpe and am beyond delighted that he will be the director of Crying in H Mart,” Zauner shared on Instagram. “I believe his sensitivity, as a director and an actor, and his own personal experience, having also grown up between two cultures, will be tremendous assets.”

She continued, “His work on Flowers and The Electrical Life of Louis Wain speak to his ability to conjure lofty, vulnerable performances, to find humor and grace within the tragedy of the everyday. They are a precious collection of talents that make him the perfect fit for this film.”

Nicki Minaj Announces Album Release Date

Nicki Minaj confirmed her first album in five years is finally on the way Monday (June 5), revealing an upcoming release date.

“10/20/23 The Album,” she tweeted alongside emojis of a CD and a pink bow, sending the Barbz into a frenzy.

Minaj’s upcoming fifth studio album will come five years after 2018’s Queen, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The rest of her studio albums — 2010’s Pink Friday, 2012’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded and 2014’s The Pinkprint — have all reached the top five of the all-genre albums tally, with Pink Friday and Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded reaching No. 1.

Her upcoming, yet-untitled album could mark her first proper release under her own record label, Heavy On It, which she announced earlier this year on her Queen Radio show.

Her addition to Sexyy Redd and Tay Keith’s “Pound Town 2,” which debuted at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the week ending June 10, earned Minaj her 130th entry on the all-genre songs tally. Minaj’s “Princess Diana” remix with Ice Spice earned the rapper her 22nd top 10 hit on the chart when it debuted at No. 4 in April. She’s also collaborated with YoungBoy Never Broke Again on “WTF” and Kim Petras on “Alone” this year. “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” marks her only solo release of 2023, and the song reached No. 13 on the Hot 100.

She’ll also be featured on the upcoming star-studded soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, which has a theatrical release date set for July 21.
