The 1A Record Club Listens To The Songs Of Summer


Listen Later

The first official "Song of Summer" award was given to One Direction in 2013 for... well... "Best Song Ever." It's been more than a decade since that inaugural MTV Video Music Award.

But has the way we consume music evolved so much that a "song of summer" is a relic of the not-so-distant past? How can we measure what makes a good summer song?

We convene the 1A Record Club to get into it.
