  • Everyone always wonders what song will break out to be the undisputed song of the summer.
  • Insider used Billboard's charts to choose the highest-ranking summer song of each year from 1975.

Every year, there's a battle to see which song can claim the title of "the song of the summer."
It can become a point of contention as people argue over whether or not Carly Rae Jepsen is beating Justin Bieber or why Rita Ora isn't getting her due recognition, but it's a fun accolade to give an artist.
The jury is still out on which song will be this year's biggest hit, but we used Billboard's charts to choose the highest-ranking summer song for each year.
Whether or not you agree with the top song, here are the No. 1 summer songs from 1975 to 2019.
