What are your picks for the sleeper hits of the summer?

Ryan Kramer, KSME: One of the records flying a little beneath the radar right now, and it’s on the EDM tip, is the Armin Van Buuren, “This Is What It Feels Like.” If people would give this a listen and some serious consideration, it’s one of those records that could make some noise. It’s a good song and it just has that right feel to it. The Zedd...I don’t think people saw it getting as high as it already has, but again it’s that right sound. Maybe the Robin Thicke. There’s currently a lot of curiosity around it and a lot of people digging it, hopefully this will translate to Top 40 format-wide.

Gina Gray, WERO: Capital Cities, “Safe and Sound!”

Dan Pearson, ThinkSay Records: Chris Wallace "Keep Me Crazy!" The response has been tremendous and it sounds like a big summertime hit to me!

Zac Davis, WDCG: Labrinth f/Emeli Sande "Beneath Your Beautiful."

 

 

Erik Bradley, B96: Timeflies "I Choose U" and Austin Mahone "What About Love."

Brian Frank, KACV: Diamond Youth “Cannonball,” Big Deal “In Your Car,” The Unlikely Candidates “Follow My Feet.”

Robyn Lane, WRAT: American Fangs “Pomona” and Sick Puppies “There's No Going Back.”

Sean "The Rabbi" Tyszler, WMMR: Halestorm “Here's To Us.”

 

 

Willobee, Shamrock Communications-Reno: Lissie “Shameless,” Dirty Heads “Cabin By The Sea,” Nico Vega “Beast.”

Phil Kukawinski, CIMX: Portugal. The Man “Purple, Yellow, Red, and Blue,” P.O.D. “Beautiful,” Macklemore & Ryan Lewis “Same Love.”

Chris Delozier, WJBX: P.O.D. “Beautiful.”

 

Matt Johnson, KUDD: “Closer,” Tegan and Sara!!

Jeremy Rice, WBLI: Capital Cities, Youngblood Hawke, twenty one pilots scream summer – PERFECT summer Alternative/Pop feel good records!

Stan Priest, Q102: Labrinth “Beneath Your Beautiful.”

Brad Davidson, ThinkSay Records: I never say artists or songs of mine in answers to these questions, but there is a first time for everything! Chris Wallace "Keep Me Crazy.”

Matt Kelso, WBBO: Robin Thicke "Blurred Lines."

Nikki Nite, KDND: Imagine Dragons, “Radioactive.” It’s already huge for us!

Buster, WRDW: Cazzette "Beam Me Up", Lil Wayne f/2 Chainz "Rich As F*ck", Major Lazer f/ 2Chainz & Tyga "Bubble Butt"

Brody, WLDI: Anna Kendrick “Cups” and Labrinth “Beneath Your Beautiful” are two solid records.

Joe Mack, WHBQ: Jake Miller could be something. Also, Selena Gomez, as well.

Jason Kidd, WPGC: “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke and “Body Party” from Ciara

 

Mark “Mookie” Kaczor, KXRN: There's so much I'm excited about. We've been early champions of these songs... can't get enough of them! The Dear Hunter “Whisper,” Cayucas “Cayucos,” Ivan & Alyosha “Be Your Man,” Crystal Fighters “You & I,” Phosphorescent “Song For Zula,” Well Hung Heart “This Is Not Love.” At KX 93.5 we LOVE taking a chance on a new record.

Dan Hunt, WRDW: Major Lazer “Bubble Butt” and Clinton Sparks f/Macklemore & 2Chainz “Gold Rush”.

 

Brian Mack, WRVW: Imagine Dragons, “Radioactive!”

Scot Finck, Hollywood Records: Sometimes the title says it all -- "Should've Gone To Bed!" Plain White T's have this classic anthem to the "after-the-club-night regrets" heading to Pop soon! Be sure to see their meme video on YouTube. Hilarious!!

Fish Boy, WKRZ: Guetta/Akon "Play Hard" and Labrinth f/Emile Sande "Beneath Your Beautiful."

Skywalker, WSPK: Zedd “Clairty” and Labrinth fEmeli Sande “Beneath Your Beautiful.”

Chase Murphy, KXXM: Capital Cities “Safe And Sound.”

Jeff Morad, WEQX: Crystal Fighters “You And I” and Said The Whale “I Love You.” I’m in love with these tracks and thing they’ll be huge this summer.

Chuck Damico, WBEN/WMMR: Halestorm “Here’s to Us”… but it’s no sleeper.


Lance Hale, WOTT: “Beautiful” by P.O.D. is the biggest thing on the radio right now.

Joe D, WAQX: I don’t know if it’s really a “sleeper”, but I think the new track from Sick Puppies is going to be really big.
