https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_SI2EDM6Lo

12. Shaggy – ‘It Wasn’t Me’ 

Come on, don’t act like you didn’t know every single word when you were 12! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_4ca8jthAs

11. Ne-Yo – 'Closer'

Has it really been TEN YEARS since this one went to No.1!? Hands up if this was the ringtone on your Blackberry all of summer ’08.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_aC5xPQ2f4

10. Roll Deep – 'Good Times'

Before the Godfather of Grime, Wiley had an MBE him and his Roll Deep crew were all about the good times. I mean, who didn’t wanna ‘Go late night shoppin', high street boppin'’ with Wiley?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEGnYyKib9E

9. Jennifer Lopez – 'On The Floor'

As J-Lo waxed lyrical on this 2011 No.1, ‘If you go hard, you better get on the floor’… so time to hit the dance floor, sharpish! 

View the lyrics
Let me introduce you to my party people in the club, huh
It's a new generation of party people
Get 'em up, yeah

If you go hard, you gotta get on the floor
If you're a party freak, then step on the floor
If you're an animal, then tear up the floor
Break a sweat on the floor
Yeah, we work on the floor

Don't stop, keep it moving, put your drinks up
Pick your body up and drop it on the floor
Let the rhythm change your world on the floor
You know we're running shit tonight on the floor
Brazil, Morocco, London to Ibiza
Straight to LA, New York, Vegas to Africa

Dance the night away
Live your life and stay young on the floor
Dance the night away
Grab somebody, drink a little more

Tonight we gon' be it on the floor
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor

I know you got it, clap your hands on the floor
And keep on rocking, rock it up on the floor
If you're a criminal, kill it on the floor
Steal it quick on the floor, on the floor

Don't stop, keep it moving, put your drinks up
It's getting ill, it's getting sick on the floor
We never quit, we never rest on the floor
If I ain't wrong, we'll probably die on the floor
Brazil, Morocco, London to Ibiza
Straight to LA, New York, Vegas to Africa

Dance the night away
Live your life and stay young on the floor
Dance the night away
Grab somebody, drink a little more

Tonight we gon' be it on the floor
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor

Break it off
Kick it out
Raise the roof
Wreck the dancehall
Rip these walls
Light it up
Make some noise, oh

Tonight we gon' be it on the floor
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor

8. PussyCat Dolls – 'Don’t Cha'

What better track for a summer glow up? The lyrics to ‘Don’t Cha’ will definitely feed your ego while the sun’s out! Crank it up! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNSxNsr4wmA

7. Will.I.Am ft. Cody Wise – 'It’s My Birthday'

Whether it’s your birthday, or your BFFs (practically yours, too) this summer - you’ll definitely be singing along to this over the next few months! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuM7hObGjWI

6. Cover Drive – 'Twilight' 

Not to be confused with the film franchise (which we’re all still secretly obsessed with), this track by Bajan trio, Cover Drive hit the coveted No.1 spot way back in 2012 – the year Gossip Girl ended *broken heart emoji*. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73noUWDDpWw

5. Tinchy Stryder ft. N. Dubz – 'Number 1'

Before Tulisa popped up on the X-Factor and Tinchy Stryder went into the I’m A Celeb jungle, they were making epic summer jams like this one and its fate was sealed in the name. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJsVDH-3b3Y

4. Dizzee Rascal – 'Bonkers'

Try not to stay still when you hear this one come on. We dare you! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci40ae8BlcE

3. Timbaland ft. Keri Hilson – 'The Way I Are'

After making smash hits with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott and Nelly Furtado – Timbo released this track. A certified summer smash, whether you were in the club or playing it off your phone in the playground. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5rLz5AZBIA

2. The Black Eyed Peas – 'Boom Boom Pow'

Before the BEPs went on their second *ahem* hiatus, they dropped the absolute summer anthem ‘Boom Boom Pow’ from their album ‘The E.N.D’ in 2009. Nearly a decade later, it’s still a floor filling summer jam. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m48GqaOz90

1. Justin Bieber – 'Sorry'

With its addictive dance routine and sultry lyrics, this one is a summer staple. There’s no escaping this tune, year after year. Even your nan will be singing along when she hears it. 

View the lyrics
You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty
You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies
I hope I don't run out of time, could someone call a referee?
Cause I just need one more shot at forgiveness
I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice
By once or twice I mean maybe a couple a hundred times
So let me, oh let me redeem, oh redeem, oh myself tonight
Cause I just need one more shot at second chances

Yeah, is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm sorry, yeah
Sorry, yeah
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'll take every single piece of the blame if you want me to
But you know that there is no innocent one in this game for two
I'll go, I'll go and then you go, you go out and spill the truth
Can we both say the words and forget this?

Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm not just trying to get you back on me
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm sorry, yeah
Sorry, oh
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
I'm sorry, yeah
Sorry, oh
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
