Find Out What The Most Popular Summer Song Was The Year You Were Born

Every year there’s one track that becomes the song of the summer.

Take Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s hit song ‘Despacito’ featuring Justin Bieber.

It’s definitely in the running as this year’s contender.

The kind folk at Billboard have compiled a list of the top 10 songs from every summer based on data from the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The only snag is it only goes as far back as 1958 so for anyone over 59 – sorry.

For everyone else, enjoy!
