So far I think "Uptown Funk", "Blinding Lights", and "Old Town Road". That doesn't mean I love those songs. It means I think they answer the question. I know you may love "Irony x3" by Zigbones. But they ain't it.

Edit: I'm sorry for the poorly worded question. I think it's autism related, but I don't see possibilities or alternative understandings easily, and when I wrote "decade" I thought 10 years and that was it.

Of course anyone answering from the perspective of 2010-2020 was making a perfectly reasonable and rational answer and I was very dismissive. I'm really sorry for that.

Anyone over 35 should just not answer this question, very little chance we’ll be right

Also, for anyone over 35, our ability to understand “last decade” means the last 10 years, decreases over time. I read this question and still thought about songs that came out 2009.

I think that is up for interpretation a little bit. "The last decade" I think grammatically it means the last 10 years. In this case 2014-2024. But I am so used to it referring to the years ending in zero that my head immediately goes to 2010-2020 not 2014-2024. Especially in the context of music. Music is historically is reference as the years ending in zero 60s, the 70s the 2000s 2010s etc..

It depends. It can mean either. Technically though, I believe each decade is 1-10, not 0-9, although this mistake is so common I don't think it matters and can mean either.

Ahh true.

The chart being from 2011 made me feel old

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

I think I disagree. Only a very small subset of music from the decade permeated my oblivion of modern music. I expect the songs that managed to do that are the ones that will be remembered. I agree with OP's list, I know those songs.

Add to that:

Born this Way
Wake me up
Shake it off
Someone that I used to know

Taylor Swift probably has at least 5 that will be considered classics.

Just go to her top played songs and you could put any of them on that list. Which is wild
