In 2012, people showed that they were willing to pick up the phone, especially if a Canadian singer by the name of Carly Rae Jepsen was on the other end. The pop singer's "Call Me Maybe" -- which Justin Bieber was a fan of -- also nabbed the title of Song of the Summer, thanks to nine weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100.
Robin Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell Williams' "Blurred Lines" had an impressive run as well. It snagged the top spot on the Hot 100 for 12 weeks in 2013 to ultimately become that year's Song of the Summer.
The decade had some other major summer hits (we're lookin' at ya, "Fancy" and "Despacito"), so we know it'll be hard to choose, but we're gonna make you do it anyway. So go ahead and cast a vote below for your favorite Song of the Summer from the 2010s. (If you need a refresher first, check out our playlist of the songs that earned the title.)
These hot tunes are ranked based on each track's performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the summer. For the period of 1991 and before, prior to the advent of Nielsen Music 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 No. 100 earning the least. For the years corresponding with Nielsen Music data, 1992 onward, the rankings are based on accumulated radio and sales points, and points from other data sets that were included in the Hot 100 during those respective years.
