The kickoff to summer wouldn't be complete without a couple infectious songs soaking up the airwaves -- an unofficial tradition since medieval times, when "Sumer Is Icumen In” topped Ye Olde Burning 100.

From Ray Charles to Carly Rae Jepsen, each year brings a new handful of classics to the season, and 2014 will be a fancy one if Iggy Azalea has anything to say about it.

Of course, it's always nice to reflect on the carefree days of summers' past. To celebrate warmer days and longer nights, Spotify has compiled a playlist of every summer chart-topper since 1962. So turn the volume up to 11 and prepare to relive your youth.
