Summary

It's late May, which means that the race for Song of the Summer is about to be officially underway! With many of the likely frontrunners already established — and some big artists about to cast their lot with much-anticipated new releases — Greatest Pop Stars host Andrew Unterberger is joined by AJ Marks of r/Popheads and the Main Pod Girl podcast to preview the battle to come. We talk about the heavy hitters — led by Ella Langley, Drake and Olivia Rodrigo — while also giving a few minutes for a few longshot contenders and some of our perfect-world picks.
