It's that time again. Time for vote for Variance's Song of Summer.
This year's race has been another fuzzy one, as there arguably hasn't been one or even two distinct frontrunners. But as we hit the last few weeks of summer, it's time to decide.
Coincidentally, last year's winner, Cardi B, is in the running again thanks to her Bad Bunny and J Balvin collaboration "I Like It," which recently hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts.
Also hot in the running is Ella Mai's breakout hit "Boo'd Up," which is definitely a Variance favorite, whether it's your Song of Summer or not. The list of contenders also includes offerings from Beyoncé and Jay-Z (aka The Carters), Drake (no surprise), Kacey Musgraves, Juice WRLD, Rae Sremmurd and Khalid and Normani.
As in past years, in addition to simply voting for this year's Song of Summer, we're also including a giveaway. For those who vote in the poll, we're giving you the chance to win tickets to see the final leg of Bruno Mars' world tour. Unfortunately, Cardi B recently dropped out as the opening act, because she's not ready to leave her newborn baby behind for the road just yet.
When you vote for Variance's 2018 Song of Summer, you'll also have the option to enter the contest. Three (3) winners will receive a pair of tickets for a show in the city of their choice. Winner will be selected at random. Entering the giveaway is not required for voting in the poll (see below).
The prize includes only two concert tickets per winner, and not all dates may be available (i.e. in Los Angeles, Mars plays four nights, but the winner may not have the option to choose a specific date). Winner is responsible for their own travel accommodations and all associated costs.
By voting in the Song of Summer poll and/or entering the giveaway below, you acknowledge your email address will be added to Variance's mailing list and you accept our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, which has changed as of May 20, 2018.
The 2018 Song of Summer poll and contest entry closes on Aug. 17, 2018, at 11:59 p.m. EST. Contest winner will be notified after Aug. 18, 2018.
