Hot weather plus nostalgia makes for a potent mix (or mixtape). Billboard Magazine combed the Hot 100 for the summer months of each of the past 25 years to bring you the top ten jams pumping out of stereos everywhere for the last quarter century.

These hot tunes are ranked based on each track's performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the summer and are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least.

Five Mariah songs made the different top 10 lists (the most any artist scored) including two that placed at #1!

Vision Of Love (#1)
I'll Be There (#4)
Always Be My Baby (#8)
My All (#6)
We Belong Together (#1)
