It could be a summer hit you remember being blasted out at every bar and beach all holiday long, or a local song you heard at a festival or carnival that you couldn’t get out of your head – you may even have brought the CD home . Maybe it’s a tune that’s become a staple of your online playlists or your go-to for party or nostalgic vibes.
