Summertime is officially here and we couldn’t be more excited! We’ve waited all year for pool parties, barbecues, flip-flops, shorts and those unforgettable summer nights. School’s out and it’s time to celebrate with the best summertime songs. This category is great because it doesn’t narrow your playlist down to one genre. There’s hip-hop, oldies, punk rock and the best reggae out there. We hope you like this list we’ve come up with!
