Carly Rae Jepsen New Song is the Hit of the Summer

Carly Rae Jepsen has done it again. “Good Time,” a feel-good party song made with Owl City, has peaked at No. 18 on Billboard’s Hot 100. It’s almost as unbelievably catchy as “Call Me Maybe” and means that Jepsen is officially taking over summer 2012. 

The song is the first song off Owl City's next album, The Midsummer Station, and features a vintage photo of a crowded beach as cover art.

Who dominated the summer charts in years past? Here are the all the biggest summer hits since 2000. It’s interesting to see how music has evolved over the years, from funkier, rap-inspired hits to pure dance-pop driven by energetic beats.
