Hit Western songs from the 2010s. Recommended classics.

When you look back on the Western music scene of the 2010s, which hit songs come to mind?

It was an era when overwhelmingly popular pop stars rose to prominence—led by Lady Gaga—and while many timeless tracks by solo artists like Ed Sheeran and Adele, who conquered the world from the UK, were born, the 2010s also marked the time when hip-hop surpassed rock in sales.

With the advent of streaming, the way we access music changed dramatically, and genres diversified.

Let’s revisit the hit songs of the 2010s in this article!

An accompaniment like beautiful contemporary music, and a rap that goes on impassively and matter-of-factly, as if completely unrelated to it.

These two ambivalent elements create an indescribably mysterious space.

Included on the album “Nostalgic 64.” To think he could make a track like this at just 18! Denzel Curry shocked the world—a talented rapper born in Florida, USA.

It’s an upbeat track that makes you want to jump for joy, and the beautifully delicate piano that resonates in the intro and at key moments is also incredibly appealing.

Included on the album “Forget the World.” A triumphant hit song by a world-renowned DJ and music producer who has also worked on tracks with Pitbull and Beyoncé.

Highly recommended.

Don’t Wake Me UpChris Brown

Chris Brown – Don’t Wake Me Up (Official Video)
Don’t Wake Me UpChris Brown

An electronic pop sound with a wonderfully satisfying trajectory, as if beams of light are shooting out and surging forward.

Rather than being “powerful and forceful,” it’s “smart, polished, and strong.” It’s a track that’s easy for women to get into.

The synth tones are irresistibly appealing, and the energy keeps rising.
