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!
