Radio Dale 73: Our Predictions for 'Song of the Summer'

The Song of the Summer is the golden ticket, the mountain peak, the World Cup (topical) of the music industry. To have the Song of the Summer is basically saying "Your song is the most successful, memorable, and obnoxiously overplayed song of the year." Last year, 'Blurred Lines' edged out 'Get Lucky,' and the year before Carly Rae was with 'Call Me Maybe.' We offer our predictions for the 2014 Song of the Summer for three genres: Pop, Rock and Country!
