Decapcito will be the ice ice baby of the 2010s.
Talking about pop:
No need to write the singers, that's how famous they are.
Random Access Memories is such a good album, pretty much every song on there is timeless imo.
Daft punk will be dearly missed. At least until millenials die out.
I wouldn't count them out quite yet. Thomas Bangaltar and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo are still producing stuff each on their own. Sometimes they even collaborate on the same project. I don't think there will be another Daft Punk album or song but I suspect their hands are going to be on a lot of work.
I think by 30 we'll have a new Daft Punk album.. They'll both miss the feeling of working creatively on one big project and it will likely be on the same scale as RAM where they use it as an opportunity to collaborate with people in music that they really admire.
But he literally exploded!
There's a new Tron movie being worked on. I have no idea who's doing the music, but the soundtrack for the most recent Tron was such a big reason it had any success. The movie looked cool, but it sounded amazing. The story was bland as hell, which is a shame. That's one of the few soundtracks for a movie I'll actually listen to outside of the movie, and I can't see whatever the new one does being even half as good.
Rolling and Get Lucky are too old.
your wording was a tad ambiguous. it is possible that the above commenter thought you were asking about the last decade, as in the 2010s, rather than the last decade, as in the ten years immediately preceding today (roughly 2014-2024)
@juliebean@lemm.ee is right, I thought OP was referring to 2010-20! OP: you can edit the text and clarify the year range for the other posters

Anyone over 35 should just not answer this question, very little chance we’ll be right
Also, for anyone over 35, our ability to understand “last decade” means the last 10 years, decreases over time. I read this question and still thought about songs that came out 2009.
I think that is up for interpretation a little bit. "The last decade" I think grammatically it means the last 10 years. In this case 2014-2024. But I am so used to it referring to the years ending in zero that my head immediately goes to 2010-2020 not 2014-2024. Especially in the context of music. Music is historically is reference as the years ending in zero 60s, the 70s the 2000s 2010s etc..
It depends. It can mean either. Technically though, I believe each decade is 1-10, not 0-9, although this mistake is so common I don't think it matters and can mean either.
I think I disagree. Only a very small subset of music from the decade permeated my oblivion of modern music. I expect the songs that managed to do that are the ones that will be remembered. I agree with OP's list, I know those songs.
Add to that:
Taylor Swift probably has at least 5 that will be considered classics.
Just go to her top played songs and you could put any of them on that list. Which is wild
Only 1 song is worthy:
WAP
Certified freak!
WAP really is fucking incredible, even for people with no contemporary exposure to the genre. You can come to it fresh as a newborn child and the punchlines still land.
Look at what Weird Al has parodied. Because it's gonna be disproportionately that.
My first thought was indeed Blinding Lights.
I'm not really in tune with nowadays music, but I think Rag'n'Bone Man's Human goes in there automatically, it's in every playlist.
I guess we'll have to put Imagine Dragons in there somehow, I think both Believer and Bones are a good fit.
I remember an article that used (Spotify?) play trends to project this, and at the time they thought Pompeii by Bastille would be the one with longevity, while a few other hit songs by big names would be forgotten. I can't find it now.
IIRC the basic idea was that genuinely memorable songs peak less hard and only fade very slowly, while trendy songs crash as everyone moves on to the next shiny thing marketers put out.
Havana Camila Cabello Ed sheeran Shape Of You Olivio Rodrigo Brutal
Baby Shark
Jesus I hope uptown funk wouldn’t be considered a classic of the era.
Radiohead, Fiona apple, lcd soundsystem, the roots…there are a lot of great jams from truly timeless bands and artists that I think will ultimately hold up better than the pop megahits.
Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo
Bad Guy by Billie Eilish
WAP.
If I put my old man hat on, I'd say none. I think the idea of "classics" is dead. I also think most modern mainstream music is terrible. But hey what do I know.
Any music of any genre other than reggaeton and trap. Their "hit songs" rarely manage to survive more than 5 years in the collective thought of the masses, then they become "background noise" in nightclubs, supermarkets, squares and other meeting places, overshadowed by the disposable "hit of the moment".
You must not be outside then
In the communities where this music is popular, there are definitely a lot of classic songs coming out that aren't just background noise, and they actually turn up the clubs.
To people outside of these communities it might seem like they only survive 5 years, but if you're inside you'll recognize patterns in songs that keep coming up and that people listen to the most. That's what really makes them classics, not just random people on Lemmy deeming them as such.
Bad bunny, El Alfa, Tokischa, Chucky73, RaiwAlejandro, and Daddy Yankee have all been relasing songs that the community will remember for a long time and deem classics. Reggaeton is going through a second, smaller, golden age and it will be remembered.
Your comment sounds a bit racist ngl
I'm Latin American, I grew up in this, it's part of my culture, that's why I know where all this is going (about musical genres). I'm not an "outsider".
Your comment sounds a bit racist ngl
You have no idea what you're talking about, right?
None. There’s no place for classics anymore going forward, only new more of the same constantly thrown on us, again and again.
Adele's "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)." The 2010s answer to Alanis's "You Oughtta Know." Honestly, the 21st-century answer to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams."
You Oughta Know isn’t even from the 21st century.
Pretty much anything from Adele.
the music you mentioned is absolutely vapid
