Whether you’re doing an internship, taking classes back home or singlehandedly saving the world through DukeEngage, summer is synonymous with good music. To help you update your playlist, I've broken down the hottest songs of the summer—so far. Compiled from iTunes and Fratmusic.com.
1. Party All Night (Sleep All Day)- Sean Kingston
Sean Kingston’s new song is almost good enough for me to forgive him for “Beautiful Girls” and “Fire Burning.” Fun and danceable (for those fortunate enough to be able to dance well), this song is already something of a summer party anthem.
2. Give Me Everything- Sex Ray Vision Remix- Pitbull, featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer
I liked the original as soon as I heard it. I liked this remix even more.
3. Till the World Ends- Britney Spears, featuring Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha
Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha add a side of awesome to Britney Spears’ new single. The result is a club-ready banger you’re sure to hear through the summer.
4. Party Rock Anthem- LMFAO
The duo who brought us the unforgettable “Shots” is back and going harder than ever with their new song, the title track from their upcoming CD. I’m already excited to dance to this at Shooters II in the fall.
5. Dance in the Dark- Dev
The first time I ever heard this song was when Dev performed it at LDOC this year. I wasn’t sure about it then, but now it’s all over the radio and I’m in love with it.
6. Roll Up- Wiz Khalifa
Wiz does it again. Although I admit I initially wasn’t sure what it meant to “flex,” “stunt” or “front,” this song is definitely one of the biggest songs of the summer.
7. Dirty Dancer- Enrique Iglesias and Usher, featuting Lil Wayne
I’ve really enjoyed Enrique Iglesias’ new music—it’s all dance floor-ready, no remix required. EI cranks out another winner with his new single, “Dirty Dancer.”
