8 on Billboard‘s Songs of the Summer chart, while Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” is at No. There’s no title or trophy that goes with releasing the song of the summer, but it’s meaningful to have imprinted on the history of a given year. Songs are only eligible for the Songs of the Summer chart if they haven’t hit that particular chart in a prior summer — that’s why “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Teddy Swims ‘ “Lose Control” miss out on this year’s Songs of the Summer chart, even though they remain in the Hot 100’s top 10 — but that doesn’t make “Luther,” “Die With a Smile” or “Pink Pony Club” feel particularly tied to the summer of 2025. Billboard‘s Songs of the Summer chart has its own structural flaws when it comes to conferring song-of-the-summer status, starting with the fact that it weighs each summer week equally. 9, is everything a song of the summer should be: frothy and fun, with a hint of nostalgia.
