Which songs should be on your summer playlist this year? We’ve sorted the best from the rest to give you the 10 hottest songs right now…
‘Dance Wiv Me’ Dizzee Rascal feat Calvin Harris
Dizzee is working his way up from the underground and into the mainstream with this hot track. It’s impossible to hear the beat and not get your groove on! Go on, dance wiv him!
‘Mr Mista’ Nesian Mystik
The Nesian boys are back again! They can’t stay away from the charts and the latest release from their hit album Elevator Musiq is proving just as popular as the first two tracks, ‘Nesian 101’ and ‘Dancefloor’. With appearances by Che Fu, Kimbra and Pele this is a great track with an awesome message.
‘Get Shaky’ The Ian Carey Project
Love yourself a bit of techno? Well, even if you don’t ‘Get Shaky’ is a totally infectious tune that will get you and your friends up and dancing the night away! A great summer party track.
‘Dusk Till Dawn’ Ladyhawke
The follow up single to ‘Paris is Burning’ from this outrageously cool nzgirl. Get your groove on with the quirky, retro beat and fun lyrics.
‘Diva’ Beyonce
From the Sasha Fierce disc of her latest album, Beyonce (or is it Sasha?), shows us how she is a straight up diva. A little kooky and a little different, the lyrics are straight to the point and super catchy – release your inner diva now!
‘Dead & Gone’ T.I feat Justin Timberlake
T.I and J.T? What a combo! Although the subject matter isn’t exactly fun and careless, the fact that these two superstars have teamed together guarantees it’ll be a hit. Especially since we haven’t heard from Justin in way too long!
‘Day & Night’ Kid Cudi
Another hot techno song right now. A sexy, fun beat that is bound to see you dragging all of your mates on to the d-floor for a good ol’ let loose session.
‘Thinking of You’ Katy Perry
Is it a coincidence that this gut-wrenching breakup song was released just after Katy’s split with long term boyfriend, Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes)? This is a gorgie song, perfect for anyone suffering emo anxiety from a recent break up.
‘Eh, Eh’ Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga shows us her softer side as well this summer with ‘Eh, Eh’. Another song perfect for anyone dealing with a bit of love and loss. It’s easy to sing along to and has a cruisy summer vibe.
‘Heartless’ Kanye West feat T-Pain
Kanye does his thing with T-Pain on ‘Heatless’ (yet another break up song!), a track which he describes as ‘pop art’. Clearly he was pretty angry (we’re guessing with ex Alexis Phifer) when he wrote this track, with lyrics like ‘How could you be so Dr Evil?’, but so what? We heart heartless!
