We agree on quite a few things here, like where to get a killer iced latte and the best nearby beach for a day off. But there is one debated hot topic (pun intended): which songs should go on our Ultimate Summer Playlist. To settle matters, we handed DJ privileges over to you. You tweeted us your warm-weather favorites and we just slotted them in.
The result? A playlist with something for everyone and every occasion, from The Kooks’ fuzzy rock and Leon Bridges’s throwback soul to a sing-it-aloud ballad, courtesy of Florence + The Machine. Now all you need is a good DJ name.
