Jay’s Top 24 for 2024: The Summer Playlist

With Summer here, there’s a good chance you’ll either be spending time by the pool or beach or taking a family road trip. So, I put together a playlist that I think is perfect when you’re poolside or stuck in the car with grumpy kids.

Now keep in mind, this isn’t a list of my favorite songs of all-time and they’re not ranked. These are just 24 songs that either remind me of Summertime when I was a kid and my parents had the radio on or songs from when I was in high school or college here in Orlando that bring back good memories.

With that being said, here’s my playlist and I’d love to know what you’d add or take off my list!
