Summer is here, and what better way to celebrate than with a playlist that's guaranteed to get you in the mood for sun-kissed days and warm, balmy nights? From classic hits to modern chart-toppers, this playlist has it all.
We're kicking off with some of the biggest names of the 80s, including Frankie Goes To Hollywood with Two Tribes, The Police with Every Breath You Take, and Wham! with The Edge of Heaven. These iconic tracks are sure to transport you back to a time of big hair, big phones, and even bigger personalities.
As we move into the 90s, the playlist gets even more eclectic, with contributions from Fugees, Wet Wet Wet, and Livin' Joy. Killing Me Softly With His Song and Love is All Around are just a couple of the standout tracks that showcase the decade's unique blend of grunge, pop, and R&B.
The 2000s are also well-represented, with hits from Vengaboys, Sonique, and Five. Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! and Got the Feelin' are sure to get you dancing, while It Feels So Good provides the perfect opportunity to slow things down and enjoy the sunshine.
One of the best things about this playlist is its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia. Who didn't grow up listening to I Wanna Sex You Up by Color Me Badd or Step by Step by New Kids On The Block? These classic pop tracks bring back memories of childhood summers spent playing outside till the streetlights came on.
Of course, no summer playlist would be complete without a few modern classics. Sandstorm by Darude and Beautiful Stranger by Madonna are just a couple of the more recent additions that are sure to get you singing along.
From soulful ballads to upbeat party anthems, this playlist has something for everyone. So go ahead, press play, and let the music transport you to a world of sun-drenched summers and carefree days.
