THE FIRST HITS LIST OF SUMMER


A pair of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and the soon-to-be recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame top our latest gathering of trending topics, while the young gun just below them just broke out a Nirvana sample. All of which gives HITS List a “What year is this, anyway?” flavor.

The fact that these icons are sharing the virtual stage with modern-day megastars Taylor and Drake, their fearless leader Monte and the handlers of the exploding JoBros and Luke Combs reminds us that this is indeed 2019.

Think of this as your first beach read of what promises to be a long, hot summer.
