The most popular summer song every year since you were born

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 Billboard compiled a list of the top 10 songs from every summer since 1958 based on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. You can check out Billboard's full list here for the complete nostalgic collection.

Whether or not you agree with the top song, here are the No. 1 summer songs from 1975 to 2016:
