We’re closing out the summer on a high note! We asked you to let us know what you think the song of the summer is, and it turns out, the classics can still compete with this year’s biggest hits. CNN contributor and “Engagement Party” co-host Ari Shapiro traces how the song of the summer became a cultural phenomenon – and why today’s mix of country, rap, pop and throwbacks may mean our musical tastes are expanding, not dividing us.
