SUMMER'S GREATEST SONGS COUNTDOWN: Bananarama - "Cruel Summer"

Welcome back to Hitmaker Chronicles' countdown of the Top 20 Songs of the Summer, as voted by the staff of Caloroga Shark Media! I'm your host, Garrett Fisher. Coming in at number 10, we're diving into Bananarama's synth-pop masterpiece "Cruel Summer" — a track that transformed the traditionally sunny season into something darker and more complex with its driving beat and melancholy undertones. We'll trace how three friends from London created an enduring new wave classic while MTV was revolutionizing music culture and Ronald Reagan dominated American politics. Grab your neon accessories — we're heading into the heart of '80s British pop perfection.
