About this ranking

Every summer, the same argument starts. K-pop has spent over a decade stacking contenders for the greatest summer anthem of all time, and no one agrees. SISTAR set the template with breezy coastal energy. Red Velvet's Red Flavor made bright and slightly chaotic into its own summer genre. BTS crashed the English-language market with Butter and Dynamite. TWICE kept delivering dependable seasonal hits, and Brave Girls went viral mid-summer with Rollin'. NewJeans made hazy and humid feel new again with ETA.

This all-time fan vote closed June 11, 2026. TWICE's Dance the Night Away edged out Butter and Dynamite in one of the tightest finishes on the ballot.
