There were more songs on the list from 2018 than from any other year.

Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa’s One Kiss and Clean Bandit featuring Demi Lovato’s Solo are some of the hits from that year to feature on the list.

However there were more songs in the top 10 from 2015 than any other year.

Kiss presenter Tyler West said: “Summer might be a little different this year, but it doesn’t mean we can’t blast out some music, get amongst happy memories and have a good time.

“Hosting this show brought me back so many moments of past summers gone by and this selection is the perfect playlist to get you pumped for those sunny days ahead.”
