Just in time for Labor Day, here is Spotify’s Top 10 20 Songs of the summer of 2013. nd rock nyc has written about em non stop all summer long but made one mistake in the Top Three, we didn’t like “Radioactive” and discounted it, and we didn’t like “Can’t Hold Us” in the top five, so we ignored them both and claimed the # 3 spot for Daft Punk.
1. Blurred Lines – Robin Thicke – Still stands up alarmingly well for a song so incredibly overplayed, I’ve been writing about it since April and I still love it, though,m no, I’d rather not actually listen to it – A
