I løbet af sommeren er der som regel ét stort hit, der bliver spillet igen og igen på landets radiostationer.
Ørehængeren, som alle synger med på i starten, udvikler sig nogle gange til en lidt af en enerverende landeplage. Hvem husker ikke Los Del Rio’s ‘Macarena’ fra 1996 eller Rihanna og Jay-Z’s ‘Umbrella?’ fra 2007?
Den amerikanske hitliste, Billboard Hot 100, har kigget i de gamle arkiver og fundet en liste over samtlige sommerhits fra 1958 og frem til 2016.
Du kan se top tre fra hvert år nedenfor - og finde ud af, hvad der var det store hit netop dét år, hvor du selv blev født.
Billboard Hot 100 er en liste over de mest populære singler i USA. Så hvis du f.eks. undrer dig over, at Basshunters ‘Boten Anna’ fra 2006 ikke er på listen, så er det derfor.
Og hvad bliver så det store sommerhit i år? Det er endnu ikke afgjort, men mon ikke Luis Fonsi og Daddy Yankee’s ‘Despacito’ feat. Justin Bieber er et godt bud?
