I tormentoni estivi dal 1985 al 2009 secondo Billboard

In attesa di decretare il tormentone estivo di questo 2010, Billboard ci fornisce un elenco dei singoli che hanno spopolato nella calda stagione dal 1985 al 2009.

Di tutto e di più è possibile rinvenire in queste classifiche: alcune canzoni era impossibile non citarle, altre invece sono state delle vere e proprie sorprese; qualcuna di esse ha suscitato un pò di nostalgia, altre al contrario hanno provocato sensazioni non proprio idilliache per via dell’effetto “martellante” creatosi nel periodo in cui hanno dominato (avevano proprio stufato).

E voi concordate con queste charts? Quale canzone avreste voluto vedere che invece manca (magari qualcuna appartenente al panorama musicale italiano o latino)?
