Our Readers Vote Enrique Iglesias’ “I Like It” The Song Of Summer 2010
After nabbing nearly a thousand votes (41%) over the past seven days, Enrique Iglesias’ catchy dance-pop jam “I Like It” beat out six other contenders and clinched the Song Of Summer 2010 title in a poll we posted last Friday. Iglesias’ RedOne-produced single, which moved up to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, kept other current radio staples like Nicki Minaj’s “Your Love” (35%), Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” (15%) and Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love The Way You Lie” (4%) at bay. (And he didn’t even have to kiss any voters to win!) Head below to see how the voting for this summer’s most anthemic pop hit panned out.
In the end, maybe it was just Pitbull’s wink-wink “Tiger Woods x Jesse James = Pitbull all night long” line—which serves to both advertise the Miami rapper’s sexual prowess and acknowledge the Lionel Richie sample used in “I Like It”—that sealed the deal for Enrique. Of course, the singer’s summer-long tease that he might water ski naked off the coast of Miami probably didn’t hurt, either.
