This past summer was filled with a variety of music that was impossible to get out of your head. Whether at the beach, in your room, or driving in the car with the windows down, you couldn’t help but sing along. These songs were the most heard on the radio and the highest selling songs on iTunes because they are catchy and upbeat. When they are in your head they are stuck there and you can’t stop singing them.
The Padua 360 crew shared their opinion on this summer top hits, Abbey L. told me that her favorite song was One Direction’s “What Makes you Beautiful” because it is catchy and the band members are all so cute. Trichelle G.’s favorite song is Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend” because the beat was really cool. Kaleigh W.’s favorite song is Carly Rae Jepson’s “Call Me Maybe” because it’s a fun song and you can randomly dance to it.
“Starships” by Nicki Minaj was on the top 10 song list for 21 weeks and went double platinum in june. Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson was on the Billboard Hot 100 for 9 consecutive weeks at number 1. One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” was on the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 consecutive weeks.
