With the summer coming to a rapid close, Time decided to rank what they found to be the 13 songs of the Summer. With Daft Punk, Zedd and Avicii making the list, we thought it was pertinent to share with you the ranking, asking for your opinion on the matter. While not entirely EDM, the increasing presence of electronic music artist on these types of list, illustrate the growing importance of the genre amidst a mainstream dominated by Pop and Hip-Pop.
No. 1 – “Blurred Lines,” Robin Thicke featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams
No. 2 – “Get Lucky,” Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams
No. 3 – “Treasure,” Bruno Mars
No. 4 – “Can’t Hold Us,” Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton
No. 5 – “Holy Grail,” Jay-Z featuring Justin Timberlake
No. 6 – “We Can’t Stop,” Miley Cyrus
No. 7 – “Don’t Drop That Thun Thun!,” FiNATTiCZ
No. 8 – “Best Song Ever,” One Direction
No. 9 – “Cups” (Pitch Perfect’s “When I’m Gone”), Anna Kendrick
No. 10 – “Cruise,” Florida Georgia Lane featuring Nelly
No. 11 – “Radioactive,” Imagine Dragons

There are three that I love, and the rest gives me a rash.
Just threw up… everywhere!
Yea all of these songs are garbage.
AVICII!
Blurred Lines, Treasure, Holy Grail, We Can’t Stop, Don’t Drop That Thun Thun, Best Song Ever, Cups and Cruise are basically rap. Clarity is best on here.
I can’t believe there are actually people who would say Get Lucky and Wake Me Up are garbage…most of the rest, sure, but those ones. No
How the hell did “Don’t Drop That Thun Thun Thun!” rank and “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark” didn’t?
Anyone care to explain this treachery?
Robin Thicke, Miley Cyrus, and One Direction…This list makes me sad.
Radioactive is actually pretty good imo.. Clarity, Wake me up and Get lucky take the prize though.
WHAT THE… Most of them are considered as hits? This world is too much for me..
Fuck POP
Get Lucky and Blurred Lines got really old really quickly, Clarity and Wake Me Up are awesome, Radioactive’s a great song (Night Visions is just a great album in general) and Cups is reaaaaaally catchy.
No one can convince me that a best-of list including “One Direction” and “Miley Cyrus” is anything but sarcastic.
