The big summer hits this year - 2017, are Sheeran's Shape of You and Despacito. But - whilst they are as good as hits from the past (to me Despacito is simply 2017's Macarena), I don't think they come any longer up there with our 60s and 70s hits. Views? I saw Go West in Eastbourne a massive 80s band and there were still lots of empty seats.
JK2006	Yes with over 4000 views and just the one reply.
NCS	The fact there's no responses says everything! Sad but true.
