Hey everyone,

It's time for our third edition of The Community Chart! 🍀

What is it?

The Community Chart is a monthly ritual in our Chat section. 

You can vote for your fave song from the comments by giving it a like, or posting a new track.

Each month, we'll post a chart based on a different theme related to the world of music. The Community gets to select their favorite tracks for the month's selection!

This time we have a twist - we'll have 2 winning tracks this month, read below to learn more!

How does it work?

• A new selection of themed tracks gets posted in Chat.
• Each track is posted as a separate comment below the original post.
• You can vote for your favorite track(s) by clicking on +Like under the comment.
• You can add your fave songs that match the theme as well!
• Based on your votes, the editorial team publishes the chart with the top tracks in order of likes received in the Community Blog.

The theme we chose for our this edition is...

Fresh summer hits of 2021

Pop and Rock

We're listing songs that came out this year and can be dubbed ''Summer hits'' in their respective genres.

We'll start our Pop selection with:

After some time of silence we got a new song from Ed Sheeran. As a change from his acoustic ballads, he released this bass heavy track that has been blasting on the radio ever since it came out in June.

This track appeared on many mid-year best-of lists and there must a reason why. The two talented ladies Doja Cat and SZA have created a groovy and playful R&B jam.

No surprises, BTS came out with an awesome feel-good, dancy and truly catchy track. Called ''Song of the Summer'' by both Rolling Stone and Billboard. Let's see if our Community Chat agrees.

 We can't miss the song that was the Jonas Brothers' first release of 2021. A very upbeat and catchy track that makes you want to bop your head along.

[Elena]

Opening our Rock choices we have:

spotify:track:4pt5fDVTg5GhEvEtlz9dKk

Taking the scene by storm after winning Eurovision, Måneskin captured many people's hearts. Their fabulous glam rock aesthetic mixed with memorable tunes make them a worthy contender for a summer song of 2021.

spotify:track:7pn2efhCkZcPCM2zlR4RtY

With a very suitable name for a summer hit, this track has a strong retro vibe, but that works perfectly with its cool harmonious vocals and melodic instrumentals.

[Elena]

spotify:track:27BEATf1JFhKDmwJdpGVSk 

This song has been defined as ''everything you want from Royal Blood distilled into one ferocious cocktail'' and we'll have to agree with it. It's groovy track with strong riffs and even stronger vocals.

[Elena]

spotify:track:7M7AFtWYg73Kvj5cTZUjiZ 

This fast paced track with a melodic calmer chorus and a powerful end makes you want to go to a festival and scream until your lungs give out, or at least it does that to me 😄

great vibe on this one! I believe my friends at Hero the Band have rocked a stage with them before and they’re certainly worthy of nomination for consideration in the Rock category.

They are four brothers from Atlanta that have created an amazing community & building a better world! Here’s one of their tracks I love.

Hi @its_3800bj,

Since its release on 09th of July 2021 pretty sure this song is saved, listened by everyone if not do listen such a masterpiece tho !! personally the song is on another level from the beat, tempo to lyrics a single day hasn't passed without listening to this.

hi can you tell me how to add a song here since I am new here, I copied the song link and attached here but I don't see a preview like yours and other contestants here .
thank you

[Elena]

Hey @Shakee_t,

We have a guide on how to attach links here. It seems you were able to attach your song as well.

If you've pasted the link correctly and it hasn't rolled out to show the album cover, you can give the page a refresh and that should do it.

Cheers!
