I Took A Pill In Ibiza is a fine enough song though it is interesting to hear a pop star sing about his decline. Didn’t realize how deep the lyrics were considering the fun nature of the song. Little Talks is another fun indie song and I like the festival like production. Pompeii is another great anthemic indie song. With her latest hits and Future Nostalgia album, it looks like Dua Lipa will be here to stay into the new decade and I’m happy for it. Like I said in 2018, IDGAF is good but New Rules is the better song to me from Dua Lipa in 2018. I know this cause I sang this in eighth grade chorus which is also why I still like the song. It really goes all out with its anthemic nature and makes for a fun singalong. Some Nights is easily my favorite of fun.’s hit songs from 20. It got played at my high school dances at the time and I can say it’s guaranteed to get the dance going. Into You is another one of Ariana’s best songs. Dancing With A Stranger though is good dance jam with good chemistry between Sam Smith and Normani. They’re not bad but their not the type of artist I would seek out a lot. He also remembers working with Paramore back in the 2000s and seeing Hayley Williams getting educated on tour and remembers her being a nice girl. He never thought he’d see them be this successful. The Man show way back in the 2000s before they were well known and seeing the band arrive in a run down trailer. One of my cousins works in music and tells me his story of working on a Portugal. I can understand why some may not like the singer’s voice but it sounds cool here. Feel It Still is a good 60s influenced indie song. All of the Lights is easily one of Kanye’s best hits in the 2010s which is saying a lot. Nothin on You is a nice love song and a great introduction to Bruno Mars. Next month, I’ll be doing a list of some of my favorite albums of the past decade. What were some of your favorites from the past ten years? Comment below and let me know. Release something, damn it.Īnd that was my long list of the best hits songs that the 2010s had to offer. All of this is why DNA is the best hit song of the 2010s. This is why I’m such a fan of Kendrick, his skills as a lyricist raises the bar in hip-hop and he doesn’t sacrifice any of that while giving us a banger that would leave other bangers in the dust. And the way he’s flowing? The dude is just leaving charred bodies all over the floor.

And just when you thought it was over, right after a sample of Fox News’ moronically brain-dead take on his BET Awards performance, the hardest beat switch-up happens and explodes with the force of a million supernovas devastating everything in its path and Kendrick does not let up on the bars. There’s no chorus or singing, it’s just bars on top of bars on top of bars over some of Mike Will Made-It’s best production to date that contains a guitar melody and trap beat. Here, Kendrick Lamar metaphorically transformed into a dragon and let loose nonstop fire bars about his blackness and he does not let up. There is no other hit song in the 2010s that hits as hard or harder than DNA. I made up my mind that this was going to be the best hit of the entire decade before the decade was even over and I stand by it to this day.

And while we’re speaking on social issues, … 12.Īnyone who knows me will not be surprised by this pick. What I’m trying to say is that Same Love is a one-of-a-kind song that’s really powerful. There’s still more to do, but progress is being made. This is the first time where a mainstream rap song shows open support for the LGBTQ+ community and it helped our society become more accepting of them.

Mary Lambert’s chorus really hits at the heart, basically saying that she won’t change who she is. Over a stripped-back piano beat, Macklemore shows his allyship with the LGBTQ+ community by calling out the hypocrisy and rampant homophobia in our society, especially among Religious Right circles and in hip-hop. While Can’t Hold Us is the fun party track to get the people moving, Same Love goes to a different direction, tackling a more serious social issue. Macklemore is just rapping his ass off here and Ray Dalton comes in with an amazingly soulful chorus. This song is a more energetic banger than most of the so-called bangers of the time and now.

The jaunty piano, the stomping percussion and handclaps, the horns, etc. This song is just a blast to listen to thanks to Ryan Lewis’ production. While Thrift Shop put him and Ryan Lewis on the map, Can’t Hold Us showed that they mean business. He wasn’t the greatest thing ever, but he had a good command on flow and cadence and he had enough wit to make some admittedly corny material work.
