1. Icona Pop & Charli XCX - "I Love It"
Quite frankly, no other song could have come here first - it's the biggest radio smash across both sides of the Atlantic and for good reason: it's a fantastic song performed by a pair of truly talented musicians. 'I Love It' is the song of the summer. End of. Touted as the spiritual and sonic successor to Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' in terms of impact and catchiness, 'ILove It (I Don't Care)' is what happens after happily-ever-after, when the rose tinted hue fades and the relationship breaks up. What follows is a blast of righteous fury and cheeky enjoyment all wrapped up in thumping electro-pop bliss that gets more and more addictive with every subsequent listen. Icona Pop have a big strength in crafting in huge, all-consuming pop choruses and the massive call-to-arms hook of "I don't care!" has been a radio staple for months, summarising that joy and irreverence that is a hallmark of summer. It has been the quintessential pop song of this summer and has garnered fans from all over the musical spectrum without becoming annoying or grating upon continued listens.
