It might take a little while longer though for it to get off the internet and onto mainstream radio.

To me, the "song of the summer" is nearly always going to be an urban hit...ex: "Lean Back", if you will.

lloyd is the hotness and sean kingston's right behind him. but the song that i hear booming out of every car right now is the fabolous/ne-yo joint. and since it can take pop radio a minute to catch on to the hood hits, i think this one will sneak up and take the title.

godspeed, lil' mama. we hardly knew ye.

I didn't say anyone had to love all of the choices here. In fact, murderous hatred might be apropos in some cases.

Looks like Amy's the winner, but Journey put up a shockingly good fight.

So, from this list -- excellent job, BTW -- I'm casting my vote for "Rehab". This song is still growing among my friends and coworkers. Even now, a couple of times a week, people who know I'm a music nut will ask me, "Hey, have you heard that 'Rehab' song?"

@commenters: the "Song Of The Summer" is supposed to be that ubiquitous song you hear everywhere -- at the beach, in the club, on the mixtape [CD] your friend made for you, booming from the car passing you by, in the commercial for the local Hot 100 radio station, as background music for VH1's 40 Craziest Celebrity Breakdowns -- think of Britney attacking that SUV with an um-b-rella-ella-ella-ay-ay-ay -- etc. So, if we're looking for that song, I think we have a good set to choose from here.

Since then it hasn't seemed to catch the way it needed to. Congrats, Sean Kingston.

However, making a late run here (and this might be just a regional hit; I haven't checked the charts or anything): "Lean Like A Cholo" [www.youtube.com]

It could probably use some more insurgent hits like "Tambourine" and "Wipe Me Down" and fewer popular but decidedly un-Summery crap like "Hey There Delilah." I'm voting for "Same Girl" by default.

Any it is a bad list by the way. I voted for the Rihanna song even though I haven't actually heard it yet.

And what about Big Shit Poppin?

I've heard exactly three of those songs, one on a ringtone commercial, and another one that's a quarter century old.
