1. “Somebody That I used to Know” – Gotye featuring Kibra
2. “Call Me Maybe” – Carly Rae Jepsen
3. “Payphone” – Maroon 5 (Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick) featuring Wiz Khalifa

8. “Glad You Came” – The Wanted (Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes)

Our vote for the song of Summer, 2012 goes for “We Are Young.” It just sounds like something to sing while gathered around a beach bonfire.
