Everyone has their special fuzzy memories of their favorite smashes over the years – but now and then, the artists themselves don’t exactly feel the same way about their own music.

Over time, plenty of different pop stars and singer-songwriters have spoken out following the smash success of their songs to reveal that, for one reason or another, they feel awkward, embarrassed or even ashamed about certain songs.

We’ve gathered together some of the biggest hits from the likes of everyone from Taylor Swift to Radiohead, and how the artists really feel about the songs. Some of these are bound to surprise you!

The Songs of the Summer for 2003-2023 Revealed - Only 3 Artists Appear on The List More Than Once

The concept of the Song of the Summer has become omnipresent in recent years, but Billboard has been tracking the data since 1958.

As the weather heats up outside, many of our favorite artists begin to churn out bops and bangers that rocket up the charts. Each year, only one of them can become the defining anthem of the summer.

Billboard unveiled the Song of the Summer for 2023 on Tuesday (September 5). This year Morgan Wallen‘s “Last Night” took the top spot.

In honor of the announcement, we looked back on Billboard’s charts to determine what song dominated the charts each summer from 2003 until 2023. We even noted the bop that came in second place each year! In the case of 2023, we rounded up the Top 5.

While looking back, we noticed that only three artists in the last 21 years were able to claim the Song of the Summer more than once. Can you guess who?

These Hit Songs Have Gotten Your Fav Artists Sued - Find Out Which Bops Got Miley Cyrus, Sam Smith, Mariah Carey & More in Legal Trouble

Music can bring people together, even across generations. However, a song can also tear them apart.

Some music is so polarizing, for a variety of reasons, that it might lead to a lawsuit.

Over the years, a multitude of major hits have had their day in court. Often, the artist responsible for the hit has been sued by another musician who feels that they’ve been ripped off or had their copyright infringed upon.

For instance, take the legal battle over “Blurred Lines,” which played out extensively in the press over the years. We promise more details on that are to come, by the way.

But Robin Thick and Pharrell Williams‘ hit wasn’t the only example in recent memory. Some artists have even been sued multiple times.

We gathered together 15 songs in total that have led to a lawsuit and provided an update on how things ended up working out.
