This summer has been all about the girls.
As we start to gather together our things to move back to school, let’s have a look at some of the more popular songs of this summer. Artists like Ariana Grande (who is featured three times on this list!), Iggy Azalea, and Meghan Trainor have created names for themselves in under six months. It is definitely something exciting and noteworthy that many of the top artists for the summer are female!
