- Memorial Day is here, which means
summer is just around the corner.
And so far we've got some solid picks
for which song could be
crowned song of the summer.
Now this could change by the day,
heck even by the hour.
And while this year's official Billboard
song of the summer chart
just started its tally,
fans are separately battling it out
in our poll at billboard.com to decide
what song is the summer's hottest track.
The race is on, with faithful fans
needing to crown a summertime anthem.
♪ I want your stupid love, love ♪
♪ Ooh, ooh ♪
Little Monsters better get voting.
Gaga's return to her pop music roots
with "Stupid Love" has landed on the poll,
and is the perfect dance pop anthem
that will turn any social distance
summer BBQ into a party.
And to top it off, her
upcoming album "Chromatica"
comes out May 29th.
♪ Got to keep me focused ♪
♪ You want it, say so ♪
And while summer hasn't even started yet
Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj's "Say So"
has definitely been on repeat.
♪ Like it, love it, need it bad ♪
♪ Take it, own it, steal it fast ♪
The song hit number one
on the Billboard Hot 100
and isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Right now Doja fans
and Barbz voted it into
the third place as the top summer song.
♪ Let's kill this love ♪
Get ready Blinks, it's happening.
New music from Blackpink is almost here.
So the ladies are expected to release
two summer songs, one in
June, and one in July.
So either of those tracks could totally
turn our summer polls upside down.
♪ Got all this time on our hands ♪
It is the quarantine collab
we never knew we needed,
but uh, thank goodness we have it now.
♪ I still wouldn't change
being stuck with you ♪
♪ Stuck with you, stuck with you ♪
Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande
came together on "Stuck with U",
which hit number one on
the Billboard Hot 100.
But will Arianaters and Beliebers
make it 2020s top pick?
That's yet to be seen.
And look out because Billboard's
song of the summer 2020
poll already has a top spot.
Can I get a drum roll please?
(drum rolling)
That's the best I got.
♪ On a summer evening ♪
♪ Baby you're the end of June ♪
I mean what screams summer more
than beating the heat by
eating watermelon on the beach,
with your closest
friends and Harry Styles?
♪ Watermelon sugar high ♪
So far, Harry Styles' "Watermelon Sugar"
leads the pack as the fan favorite
to win song of the
summer in our 2020 poll.
And I have to say he gets my vote too.
But you guys, it is still
early on in the game.
Will "Watermelon Sugar" be able to hold
that top spot all summer long,
or will Blackpink come
in and take it away?
Maybe it'll be Justin
Bieber, Ariana Grande.
The possibilities are endless.
Voting is on right now and goes
all the way through Labor Day.
So head to billboard.com to
vote for the top summertime bop.
That's really fun to say.
For Billboard News, I'm Chelsea Briggs.
And I'll catch ya on the flip side.
