What? Rotten Reloaded is already out of the Top 20 and it hasn't even been certified Gold. Platinum certification is as likely as a collaboration with Lil' Kim.

sold 450,000 not including the single sales.. it will make Gold..

[Gustav]

I will do my very best to make this the summer hit of 2012.

"Call Me Maybe" is old news, that shit's been killed already. A new jam will soon rise to take it's place.

Nope.

http://www.at40.com/top-40/chart/21911 Hasn't stopped rising yet! And won't. And you're the last one to be talking shit on it.

Yes that does show that it's probably We are young. But fuck it.

Something something AT40 for the dumb masses etc etc

Jessie Warez - 110%

Nicki Minaj is like musical ADHD. Her songs have no fucking focus and it's infuriating whenever her shit comes on the radio.

Truly the Wings of our generation.

That's how I feel about most rap. Sets of unrelated and often nonsensical statements that may or may not rhyme.

Nicki Minaj is like musical ADHD. Her songs have no fucking focus and it's infuriating whenever her shit comes on the radio.

But then she's got shit like "Beez in the Trap" and "I Am Your Leader". Nicki is somewhat interesting, and whoever created her body did a damn good job. I don't care.

Maybe Azealia Banks can take her this summer with her mixtape.....

[Para bailar La Bomba]

You guys remember this atrocity? The Ketchup Song

I just copyed the link here. I don't want to hear it again.

[Steelrain]

We won't know until next month at the earliest.

You blew your load too early.

[marrec]

Fuck Eggman I was eating breakfast when I clicked play on that video. Now I had to throw away an entire bowl of cereal.

[kitchenmotors]

I love that so much of GAF, especially Pop GAF and Gay GAF, hate on Nicki. I like her mostly for that reason because I know she pisses people off. :D Personally, I'd rather listen to Nicki Minaj than Lady Gaga.

I'm not sure I've heard a summer anthem quite yet. There are a few good summer albums that have come out, like Sleigh Bells' Reign of Terror and Beach House' Bloom. So far the song that has come close for me is Tanlines - All of Me. I'd also throw up Passion Pits' Take A Walk, although I expect a different song on the album to be more of a summer anthem, this track is a little weak.

[Kusagari]

2006 The killers - when you were young http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkkE7yDXr6g 2012 Fun - We are young http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv6dMFF_yts&ob=av3e

We Are Young is already fading away and it's not even really summer yet.

And the 2009 anthem was either Boom Boom Pow or I Gotta Feeling. Pick your crappy Black Eyed Peas song. They literally had the #1 hit from mid April to early October with those two exchanging places.

[DMeisterJ]

2007 was Rihanna - "Umbrella" no doubt, and 2012 will either be Usher - "Scream" or Rihanna - "Where Have You Been?". We are young is peaking before summer hits, while those 2 are climbing fast, and in tandem.

I'm talking audience impressions and spins btw.

[Redux]

Starships? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeIJmciN8mo&ob=av2n (would smang)

For some reason, I kept expecting Johnny Depp to come in on a pirate ship.

Its just hit number 1 or 2 for the first time here in the UK. It's going to be a while before i falls out of the TOP 40.

[Diprosalic]

if we're talking US sales:

Well it was #1 in the U.S. for weeks already and is slipping now. So, maybe it will be in the UK, but doubt it will be here.

Call Me Maybe is the song on the rise right now here and coinciding with summer perfectly.

[Wes]

Call Me Maybe has peaked too soon to be the summer song.

I have no clue about pop music releases. I like Fun. - Some Nights (the single) but not sure if that's getting radio play yet or not.

From a Electronic point of view I'd go, judging by the fact it's getting gradually more airplay now even though it's been out for a month or so: Porter Robinson - Languages

Other (more mainstream) electronic suggestions:
Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso Feat. Ryan Tedder - Calling ... Great track, been out ages. They added vocals to it to increase mainstream radio play and it is working.
Avicii - Silhouettes ... Again, been out for a long time but is getting some mainstream play in the run up to summer.
Pryda - Allein ... There's always a Pryda song that gets a lot of play in the summer.
Tiësto & Wolfgang Gartner - We Own The Night ft. Luciana
Felix Cartal - Tonight

[BGBW]

YuruYuri♪♪ OP

I can feel it.

Would be great without the stupid male vocal hijinks.

[Eggman]

Cyprus' eurovision song will be my summer anthem.

[Revolver]

The first time I heard I Love It by Icona Pop I thought it had potential to get played to death this summer.

[ToxicAdam]

Probably something from Usher or Chris Brown. Maybe another song from that awful One Direction.


Man, that 'Call Me Maybe' song is horrible, yet incredibly catchy. It festers in your brain.

[gutshot]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv6dMFF_yts fun: we are young

This was my first thought as well, but as others said, it may have peaked a bit too early. Their next single could become the summer anthem of 2012 though. Personally, I think it's a better song than We Are Young and feels even more anthemic.

Some Nights - fun.

I have no clue about pop music releases. I like Fun. - Some Nights (the single) but not sure if that's getting radio play yet or not.

It's already blowing up on my local alternative station. Songs with cross-over appeal usually end up hitting the pop stations about a month or so later. Perfect timing.

This was the shit last summer in Europe, especially after the Fast and Furious movie hit

[Marius_]

It might be to early to tell, we still have Ke$ha coming with her new single, Jlo releasing a song with Flo Rida, Pitbull ft Shakira, and Nicki with either Whip It or Pound The Alarm

[Eschaton]

But then she's got shit like "Beez in the Trap" and "I Am Your Leader". Nicki is somewhat interesting, and whoever created her body did a damn good job. I don't care. Maybe Azealia Banks can take her this summer with her mixtape.....

beez in the snatch is godawful

[DominoKid]

I Dont Like Remix already won.

[cashman]

Yeah probably. 2007 - "Rise Up" - Yves LaRock (unless you can think of a better one) 2008 - "Right Round" - Flo Rida (can't remember if this was 08 or 09) 2009 - "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" - Pitbull 2010 - "Club Can't Handle Me" - Flo Rida/ David Guetta 2011 - "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO

tonights gonna be a good night?

[MCXC Pioneer]

"Call Me Maybe" and "Starships" are here to stay, people don't realize that shit is going to dominate air play until August

[MCXC Pioneer]

That's how I feel about most rap. Sets of unrelated and often nonsensical statements that may or may not rhyme.

If that's how you feel about most rap then you should stop listening to the radio because that garbage is pop music, not hip-hop

[Eggman]

I think the best summer anthem of all time is Turn Me On by Kevin Lyttle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZPvrA29o0Y

[gibut]

Pretty sure California Girls was the summer song for 2010.

[Kapura]

T'NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

WEEEEE AAARE YOOOUNG

SO LET'S SET THE WORLD ON FIIIIIIIIRE

WE CAN BURN BRIIIIIGHTER

THAN THE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN

[Nightshade1765]

Call Me Maybe. All day, erry-day.

[airmangataosenai]

2006 was easily Hip's don't lie.

Yeah, I've never even heard that song the other guy listed before clicking his link. How that could be the song of the summer is ridiculous if you measure these things by radio play.

[James Woods]

2006 was Promiscuous Girl. 2009 was Blame It. 2007 was Umbrella. 2010 was dogshit.

Summer Nights by Lil' Rob is the eternal summer anthem. I don't give a fuck if he's a poser.

[Eggman]

Last year was give me everything tonight

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

2011 - Party Rock Anthem?

Totally.

[James Woods]

Last year was give me everything tonight

That song was shit. Last summer was awful for summer themes.

[chris121580]

Right now, mine is Gaslight Anthem '45'. Song is a total jam and perfect for blasting in the car with the windows down
