5 Songs of the Summer (Blockbusters)
5SOS are back with 'Girls Talk Boys,' the theme to this summer's all-female Ghostbusters remake. They're on the phone to Nick Grimshaw on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show and we'll be playing the track all day for New Music Friday.
Movie tie-in songs aren't a genre renowned for their amazing quality but we reckon that's unfair - here are four other tracks *nearly* as good as 5SOS!

4. Pharrell Williams - Happy
It went more viral than a Minion running through a crowded train, having a sneezing fit. It's the enormous, unstoppably buoyant 'Happy' by .
From Despicable Me 2, its relentless cheeriness saw it sell 13.9 million copes worldwide, becoming the most successful song of 2014.
We still don't know what a "room without a roof" is, mind you.

3. Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling
After , came back in May this year with 'Can't Stop The Feeling', debuted on Radio 1's New Music Friday.
From the movie 'Trolls,' which Justin was executive musical producer on, it's another upbeat summer hit. Will it be as big as 'Happy?' Possibly not, as Drake's been blocking Justin from the Official Charts number one.

2. Busted - Thunderbirds Are Go!
What was 's last single, until their 2015 reunion, 'Thunderbirds Are Go' is a pop-punk ode to puppetry.
It's still the group's last Official Chart number one, released as a double A-Side with '3AM'.
Although it's from 2004 - that's twelve years ago, if you want to feel a bit old - it remains a classic; it does always look so cool when spaceships come out of the pool.

1. Tegan and Sara - Everything Is Awesome
were picked to record the track for 2014's The Lego Movie and came up with this sparkling, on-the-edge-of-manic bit of maybe-a-bit-too-much positivity.
There might be something in this - every movie tie-in track that's done well on its own seems to be pretty upbeat. And 'Everything Is Awesome' was no exception - it was nominate for an Oscar and a Grammy.
