Winner: Carly Rae Jepsen, 'Call Me Maybe'

Not only is “Call Me Maybe” THE song of the summer, Carly Rae Jepsen is summer 2012’s It Girl. She captured fans’ (including the U.S. Olympic swim team) hearts with “Maybe,” which spent more weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 than any other song in 2012, and “Good Time,” her duet with Owl City is also lodged in the Top 10.
