Summer is quickly approaching, which means you need your summer playlist ASAP. From 80's throwbacks to this year's chart toppers, you'll be everyone's favorite DJ if you include these ten songs.

1. "School's Out" - Alice Cooper

This Alice Cooper throwback is the perfect start to your summer. Grab some friends and celebrate the fact that you don't have to think about school for a solid three months.

2. "Springsteen" - Eric Church

Eric Church's "Springsteen" is the perfect mix of country and nostalgia. This song is great for summer night drives. And the best part is you don't even have to be a Springsteen fan to love this song.

3. "What Time Is It?" - High School Musical 2

Anyone who grew up with High School Musical knows that this is a summer staple. You can't go through the last week of school without getting this song stuck in your head at least four times. I also suggest marathoning the movies, but that's your call.

4. "What Makes You Beautiful" - One Direction

Say what you will about this British boyband, but you know you'll be singing and dancing along by the chorus. This song always reminds me of my summers in high school.

5. "19 You + Me" - Dan + Shay

This country ballad will help you slow down and enjoy that summer breeze as you drive to the beach.

6. "Cake By The Ocean" - DNCE

If you have listened to the radio at all within the last year, you've probably heard DNCE's hit single "Cake By The Ocean." And if you've heard it, you know that it's a great song for a summer road trip.

7. "Permanent Vacation" - 5 Seconds of Summer

This one is pretty self-explanatory. If you're not familiar with 5 Seconds of Summer, I highly recommend it. They look like an angst-y teen boyband. That's basically what they are, but their songs are super catchy and have a great blend of pop mixed with a little bit of punk.

8. "Ride" - Twenty One Pilots

Twenty One Pilots has recently come on to the mainstream scene, famous for their single "Stressed Out." But their song "Ride" has a more chill vibe and is great for summer car rides. Ironic, right?

9. "California Gurls" - Katy Perry

This single may have been released in 2010, but it's still a Katy Perry classic. You can't leave it off of your summer playlist.

10. "Summer Nights" - Rascal Flatts

You don't have to like country music to know that "Summer Nights" is vital to your summer playlist. This song is the best way to end a long summer day with all of your closest friends.

This summer has the potential to be your best summer yet. Having these ten songs on your playlist will guarantee your summer success.
