While Blake soaks up the sun in L.A., the summer radio continues to play. Before Blake headed to the west coast, the gang turned up the heat in the studio with a fiery debate: What is the ultimate Song of the Summer for each decade? From 90s classics to early 2000s bangers, 2010s anthems, and the still-forming 2020s playlist, we’re fighting (with love) to crown the top track of each era. Expect nostalgia, shade, and some hot takes as we try to do the impossible. Grab your sunnies—this one’s sizzling.
