Can you believe 2016 was a decade ago? It feels like it was yesterday. I remember sitting in the car, listening to the radio with my mom as we drove up to my grandparents’ house. Looking back, I listen to those old songs and they bring back happy memories. Here’s the perfect playlist to turn the 2026 summer back into the 2016 summer. 

Lush Life – Zara Larsson

Tumblr Girls – G-Eazy 

Sorry – Justin Bieber 

Closer – The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey

Lady Killers II (Christoph Andersson Remix) – G-Eazy

Three Strikes – Terror Jr

Let Me Love You – DJ Snake ft. Justin Bieber

Glad You Came – The Wanted

Style – Taylor Swift

Cheap Thrills – Sia

One Dance – Drake 

Don’t Let Me Down – The Chainsmokers and Daya

This Is What You Came For – Calvin Harris and Rihanna

It’ll be interesting to see what the kids of 2036 are looking back on. I wonder if they’ll be listening to the songs published in 2026.
