Hottest Summer Tune
Every summer seems to have an anthem, and according to our voters, the summertime airwaves belonged to Adele's monster hit "Rolling in the Deep." While it's not as bubble-gum poppy or club-driven as most summer tunes, there's no denying the power of the British superstar's voice.

2. Katy Perry, "Last Friday Night (TGIF)" 22%
3. LMFAO, "Party Rock Anthem" 15%
