I took 10 songs from the first few years of each decade. Who wins?

 

Telephone vs. WAP

Diamonds vs. Lift Me Up

Last Friday Night vs. Levitating

Jar of Hearts vs. Driver's Licence

Super Bass vs. Say So

What Makes You Beautiful vs. Dynamite

Somebody That I Used To Know vs. Heat Waves

Don't Wanna Go Home vs. Break My Soul

What The Hell vs. Good 4 U

Most 2010s sings aged like milk.

 

Telephone vs. WAP

Diamonds vs. Lift Me Up

Last Friday Night vs. Levitating

Jar of Hearts vs. Driver's Licence

Super Bass vs. Say So

What Makes You Beautiful vs. Dynamite

Somebody That I Used To Know vs. Heat Waves

Let It Go vs. We Don't Talk About Bruno (neither)

Don't Wanna Go Home vs. Break My Soul

What The Hell vs. Good 4 U

 

LFN vs. Levi was so hard. You kinda snapped with that one, OP

Telephone vs. WAP (different genres, but both are great songs. "Telephone" obviously has the more iconic music video, though)

Diamonds vs. Lift Me Up

Last Friday Night vs. Levitating (I'm sorry, I love them both so much - I can't choose)

Jar of Hearts vs. Driver's Licence

Super Bass vs. Say So

What Makes You Beautiful vs. Dynamite (Taio Cruz' "Dynamite" is superior, and I always preferred "Butter" among BTS' all-English crossovers)

Somebody That I Used To Know vs. Heat Waves (I actually really enjoy "Heat Waves", but Gotye and Kimbra's duet is a masterpiece and one of the most special hits of the past decade)

Let It Go vs. We Don't Talk About Bruno ("Let It Go" has grown on me since the exhausting overplay period, but "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is more unique as a song. Also, I prefer "Encanto" and its soundtrack significantly more than "Frozen")

Don't Wanna Go Home vs. Break My Soul (an underrated Jason Derulo hit, but Beyoncé's tune is such a triumphant gem)

What The Hell vs. Good 4 U

 

3 vs. 6 (plus one tie)

 

The 2020's win, but this doesn't discredit the amazing collection of 2010's smashes at all.

Wow this one was hard. 

10s = 6

20s =4

For me I miss the 10s music so much. Didn't realize how upbeat and carefree the songs made me feel until today.

Life was so much more simple, so I hold a lot of nostalgia for the hits of that time.
