Believe it or not, summertime is right around the corner. Summer is the time to let go and finally relax after a long time of exams and homework. Here is the perfect playlist for your summertime chill sessions:

POP

“Dangerous Woman,”  Ariana Grande – This singer has made her mark in the pop category of music with this top-selling hit. This is the perfect song to listen to on a nice summer day.

“Cheap Thrills,” SIA – Not only is this song absolutely great, but it describes the summers of many people. This song is basically about how to have a good time without paying which makes me love it.

“Hold Up,” Beyonce – Personally one of my favorites on the album, this song has such a great summer vibe to it and I’m sure it’ll be played endlessly this whole summer.

“I Took a Pill in Ibiza,” Mike Posner – We all have those songs that simply never get old and this is definitely one of those songs.

DANCEHALL

“Controlla,” Drake – This infectious beat is certaintly one that will be seeping throughout the streets this summer.

“Work,” Rihanna ft. Drake – Although many people claim this song is “outplayed”, it is undeniably one of the greatest hits of 2016, so far.

RAP 

“No Problems,” Chance The Rapper ft. 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne – This recently released song is one of many great summer songs that Chance The Rapper has brought amongst his many listeners.

“Juke Jam,” Chance The Rapper ft. Justin Bieber – Also one of Chance The Rapper’s new songs, this song is not only super cute but it features Justin Bieber and that’s always a plus.

“Panda,” Desiigner – This iconic song is great for dancing, “turning up” with friends, or just having fun by yourself, either way this song is one that most people can not ignore.

“One Dance,” Drake ft. Wizkid & Kyla – This irresitable afro-beat is definitely one of my favorites and is one that won’t get old for a while.

Dance/Electronic 

“Sunset Lover,” Petit Biscuit – This is the type of song you’d want to listen to on a hot, summer day riding with a group of friends with the windows down.

“Lose It (Jerry Folk Remix),” Oh Wonder – If you’re in need of loosening up and dancing after a long stressful school year, this is absolutely the perfect song for that.

“Show Me Love (EDX’s Indian Summer Remix),” Sam Feldt – This song will make you want to unwind and have a nice, chill day with a great group of friends.
