Together, they run through the history of the concept, break down the key components a contending single must have to qualify for the coveted title, and reminisce over past hits that ruled the airwaves between the months of May and August. Plus, Kaylan chats with us about working at a major record label in Nashville, and offers up some insight with regards to how TikTok is changing the game when it comes to solidifying hit singles. Finally, we predict which hit single will be crowned Song of the Summer 2024.
