Week 9 BOC: Top 5 summer hits

The number # 1 "call me maybe" carly  Rae Jepsen.  catchy song and funny !
number # 5 "lights"  Ellie Goulding's
Number # 2 "wide awake"   katy perry
Number # 3 "payphone"Marron 5
Number # 4 "somebody that used to know"  Goyte


Robbie Daw, writer for CNN, predicted in this article that 'Call Me Maybe' is not just a song for Summer 2012, but the song of 2012, despite tough competition from songs like Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend' or 'Payphone' by Maroon 5. 'Call Me Maybe' currently sits at Number 1 on iTunes.

The words you've said every time you turn on the radio have finally been put in to a song: 'One more stupid love song, I'll be sick'. It'll be hard to go anywhere this summer without hearing Maroon 5's wildly popular song 'Payphone'. 

 'Lights' just recently dropped down from iTune's Top 10, earning a place at Number 12. Ellie Goulding's hit has 15 million views on YouTube and the songs upbeat tempo makes it perfect for a summer party.

 Hits like 'I Kissed a Girl', 'California Gurls', 'Teenage Dreams', and 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)' have crowned Katy Perry as Summer-Song-Queen for the last few years and it's very possible that 'Wide Awake' will do it for her again.

 Gotye's hit spent 8 consecutive weeks as Number 1 on iTunes and has brought in a quarter of a billion views on YouTube. Because the song was released much earlier than the summer months, it won't go down as the song of the summer, but it will certainly be the song of the year and no summer playlist would be complete without it
