Another summer is upon us, and with it comes a new wave of summer hits that we'll remember forever.
What is it about songs this time of year that makes them hit so much better?
For starters, summer is the most popular season - one with the longest days, the most vacations and the best weather for being outdoors (notwithstanding oppressive heat waves). We meet new people in summer, we go to new places in summer, we allow ourselves to chill out in summer, we fall in love in summer ... and we're just plain happier in summer.
We already have a bounce in our step, so what better time for a new song with bounce? We're already more giddy, so what better time for a catchy, crowd-pleasing hit?
Kick back and relax with a cool beverage as your "How We Heard It" hosts stroll through the memories of the best summer hits in history - from last year to before you were born.
That "to-do" list can wait till fall.
