Early 2010s
Different genres was going crazy dropping banger after banger
Holy s*** The Box and Ballin were 2020
Pandemic really f***ed up my sense of time those songs feel like 2018 ass hits
Nah those were 2019 songs and rockstar was 2018 lol
edit: dababy roddy dababy is 2021 nvm but that song is not pushing any needle lol
The hits of the early 10s were actually songs that had to be memorable, even the lowest brow ones. You got that every once in a blue moon this decade but even then it doesn’t really live up
When you talk about S-tier iconic hits that define, there’s countless for the early 2010s. This decade? It’s Blinding Lights off the top of my head and that’s kinda it in the grand scheme
Rockstar
The Box
Ballin
Knife Talk
Blinding Lights
Super Gremlin
Save Your Tears
Family Ties
Just Wanna Rock
Love Sosa
Thinking bout you

aston martin music
Otis

I could a 3 more list and early 2010s still sweeps the hits of today 🤷🏽♂️ Feel like albums today also only end up having 1 hit while many back then had multiple
The blog era alone should answer this. Lol
There's nowhere near as much talent on the verge of verge of mainstream success like there was from 2008-2016....does this decade really have a Big 3 yet? And are they really as successful as Drake, Kendrick and Cole were in the 2010s?
EDIT: R&B is the only other genre I listen to heavily so I can't speak on music as a whole
