The Top 5 Songs of Summer 2013
As submitted by Washington's area DJs
Will it be Robin Thicke or Daft Punk? Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus? Just as last year, there’s no obvious winner at this point in time for the crown of Song of Summer 2013, at least not based on our unscientific poll of prominent local DJs. But a consensus is forming around a few tracks — and Icona Pop’s year-old ”I Love It” is most decidedly still in contention. What’s that, you say you’re tired of it? I don’t care! — Doug Rule
