Despite the relentless rain , summer is truly upon us. And with hopes of long hot summery days and warm nights to come , theres a soundtrack to go with it.
Summer is a season that traditionally produces some of the biggest hits of the year and 2015 should be no exception.
Expect Taylor Swift to continue her world dominance. Jason Derulo to cement his place as prince of R&B.
The theres the welcome returns of Rudimental and Leona Lewis as wella s newcomers like Lunchmoney Lwis and Natalie La Rose.
Here The Playlist compiles 20 sure fire hits to come this summer. Whether nursing sunburn or drenched to the skin on a windy beach , these 20 tracks should be as inescapable as hayfever and wrong weather forecasts.
1. Lunchmoney Lewis -Bills
The Florida born rapper has hit chart paydirt with the catchy Bills already smashing it Down Under hitting Number 1 in Australia. The rapper who has appeared on Nicki Minaj's Truffle Butter , should crack thiss ide of the world with his ode to paying bills. Judging by the amount of airplay its currently picking , expect bills to be the last of his worries when this takes off.
2. Galantis - Runaway (You And I )
The Swedish electro house duo of Bloodshy and Style of Eye have a ready made smash on their hands with the sure to be ubiquitous Runaway (You And I ) Co written by Cathy Dennis (Cant Get You Out Of Head ) , this track is already a hit around Europe and looks set to make a huge chart impact
3, Natalie la Rose - Somebody
The 26 year old Dutch R&B siren has already made a splash stateside with the sleek Somebody. The track has peaked at Number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and looks set to replicate its Stateside success this summer. The shimmering R&B earworm contains interpolations of Whitney Houston 's classic I Wanna Dance With Somebody and LMFAO's Shots.
La Rose should be in full bloom this umemr and looks et to be a huge break out star to keep an ear out for
4. Walk The Moon - Shut Up And Dance
Another current Stateside smash , this 80's inspired romp is currently trailing only Wiz Khalifa on US iTunes. The rock band from Ohio have the biggest hit of their career with the song peaking at Number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.
It's just the sort of track that will be blasted from every radio come June.
5. Nate Ruess - Nothing Without Love
Otherwise known as the lead singer of We Are Young hitmakers Fun. With the band on a short hiatus after the mammoth success of 2012's Some Nights album , Ruess is branching out with a solo career. He's already had quite the headstart sharing vocals with Pink on 2013's huge Just Give Me A Reason and on Eminem's stunning Headlights.
This lead single from solo album Grand Romantic doesn't stray too much from Fun and is a rousing rock/pop anthem in waiting.
6. Jason Derulo - Want To Want Me
Its been six years since Derulo burst onto the scene with Whatcha Say.In those six years , he and his impressive six pack have conquered the market in infectious R&B/pop. He's notched up an impressive string of hits such as Don't WannaGo Home , The Other Side and Talk Dirty.
The 80's vibe of Want To Want Me from his forthcoming 4th album should keep Derulo at the top of the charts yet again
7. Duke Dumont - The Giver
The British deep house producer has scored two huge Number 1's with Need U (100 % ) and I Got You.
Don't bet against The Giver completing the hat trick come July
8. Blonde - All Cried Out
I've already talked this up as a potential smash and the Bristol duo look set to score the biggest hit of their career this weekend.
Featuring the powerhouse vocals of Alex Newell , All Cried Out , will soundtrack many a wild Ibizan night.
9.Nero - The Thrill
The British electronic trio scored a Number 1 single in 2011 with Promises. Debut album Welcome To Reality followed suit topping the album charts. Forthcoming album Between Two Worlds is trailed by the exhilarating The Thrill.
Chart success has been sparse since that Number 1 in 2011. Expect that to change
10. Rudimental - Never Let You Go
The summer of 2012 gave them their first Number 1 with Feel The Love. Almost a year later Waiting All Night repeated the feat. The first single from their second album , could easily give the hackney collective another reign atop the charts.
11. Taylor Swift - Bad Blood
Many never expected Swift to release this particular track as a single from the embarrassment of riches that is the huge 1989 album. With a star studded video set to premiere next week and a huge world tour taking in the UK and Ireland this June , expect Swift to claim another huge hit as her global domination continues.
12. Sinead Hartnett - She Aint Me
The up and coming UK singer first came to attention providing vocals on Rudimentals debut album Home. Potentially one fo the break out stars of the summer.
13. Leona Lewis - Fire ( Underneath My Feet )
The X Factor winner parted ways with Simon Cowell and Syco last year to pursue her own creative direction under Island Records. And insiders are salivating at the snippets teased from her forthcoming 4th studio album. Lewis could crown a remarkable comeback with the thumping Fire (Underneath My Feet ) set to premiere later this month.
14. Robin Schulz feat Jasmine Thompson - Sun Goes Down
The German electronic DJ has already scored two huge Number 1's last year. His remix of Mr Probz's Waves and Lily Wood And The Prick's Prayer In C both scaled the top of the chart/
Sun Goes Down is already picking up momentum all over Europe and should be one of the tarcks of the summer
15. Adam Lambert - Ghost town
The American Idol runner up has long been lauded for his remarkable voice and stage presence as part of touring with Queen.
However , Lambert has never had a huge hit this side of the world. But expect that to change with the fantastic Ghost town
16. Years And Years - Shine
The hot new British trio are already in for a busy summer when hotly anticipated debut album Communion is dished out their growing congregation on June 222nd.
The follow up to Number 1 single King , should give the trio another huge hit this summer
17. Zedd feat Selena Gomez - I Want You To Know
Zedd has yet to top the brilliance of breakthrough hit , the superb Clarity. This lead single from second album True Colors sees guest singer Selena Gomez despite paper thin vocals , shine on another catchy EDM bop
18. Lawson - Roads
The British manband led by the gorgeous Andy Brown scored six Top 20 singles from debut album Chapman Square.
The catchy Roads should see them land another Top 5 , with their new album due in the autumn
19. Fetty Wap - Trap Queen
New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap is currently smashing it Stateside with the melodic hio hop of the mighty Trap Queen. The track currently sits at Number 2 in the USA right now. Its sold a millin copies digitally in America and has been one of the surprise hits of the year
20. Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea - Pretty Girls
Owing more than just a musical debt to last summers huge Fancy , Iggy Azalea and Britney Spears look set to continue their chart conquering ways with the infectious sunshine pop of Pretty Girls.
