Lovely Western music

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!

It’s included on the debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans, released on January 12, 2011.

The song was released in 11 countries, reached number one in six, and became a huge hit, ranking second or third elsewhere.

It was also used in a NTT Docomo commercial featuring Masami Nagasawa, so many of you have probably heard it.

This track is characterized by its gentle, beautiful, and catchy melody.

Zedd, well-known for EDM and house music.

This track was released in 2015 and also has four remix versions.

Its chorus melody makes you want to jump again and again in time with the beat.

With sparkling sounds sprinkled throughout like fizzy carbonated water, it’s a song that becomes addictive after just one listen.

When I listened to this, I was completely captivated by its world.

The song is characterized by being split into two entirely different types of tracks before and after the midpoint.

Both give the impression of urbane, sophisticated adult music—absolutely irresistible.

I’d love for each section to be made into its own song.

A superb work with a remarkable level of completion.
