Popular Summer Songs Ranking [2026] (91–100)
swallowtail butterflyPorunogurafiti99rank/position
In contrast to the passionate Latin rhythm delivered by Porno Graffitti, what unfolds is a heartbreakingly bittersweet tale of unrequited love.
At first, simply “meeting you was enough,” but somewhere along the way, the wish to be “loved” took hold, and the whole world changed.
Chasing after the other, who flutters like a beautiful butterfly, they seem like a desert oasis—always out of reach.
Knowing they can never have them, the protagonist aches for love as if thirsting for moisture, their anguished cry pressing upon the heart.
Released in June 2001, this million-selling track was also featured in a cosmetics commercial.
When you’re suffering from a love that won’t be returned and can no longer suppress the feeling of “wanting to be loved,” this is a song that stays close to that helpless pain.
A Love Story Ten Years AheadTUBE100rank/position
Speaking of summer, many people think of TUBE! You probably recall their various hot summer anthems.
But Ten Years Ahead Love Story is a complete departure from TUBE’s fiery side—a gentle, soothing summer ballad.
It’s included on their 1991 album Shonan.
The song portrays a straightforward devotion: continuing to think of a former lover for decades, even millennia, until they meet again.
An unforgettable summer romance, like the one in this song, never fades no matter how many decades pass, does it? The feeling of hoping that there might still be a chance, rather than simply moving on, is also deeply relatable.
When you want to sink into the memory of that unforgettable summer love, make this song your soundtrack.
