The Quest for the Summer Song of 2021 continues, and I'm calling it for BTS "Butter. With 2 or 3 charts till the end of the Summer Song season, it looks like the Korean boy band will be the winner.
Billboard Magazine has been counting down the 500 biggest summer songs of all time, and "I'll Be Missing You," by Puff Daddy and Faith Evans, featuring 112, is the No. 1.
The all-star collaboration, an ode to the late Notorious B.I.G. (Evans' husband), ruled the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 11 weeks in 1997, wrapping as that summer's biggest song.
According to Evans, "Puff said he wanted to make the biggest tribute record that's ever been done."
The single interpolates The Police's "Every Breath You Take" -- itself the top summer hit of 1983, when it dominated the Hot 100 for eight frames, and the No. 7 title on the Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer chart.
The chart is based on titles' performance on the Hot 100 during the annual tracking period of Memorial Day through Labor Day.
