Era of Beyonce, Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Taylor swift and Adele makes me so proud of the music I grew up w/
Yep, there was a time when these pop-stars were the rulers of the music industry ✨
@@whoisnanaaaaaamost of them still are
I can’t believe Gaga wasn’t mentioned once! I kept waiting for it and nothing! Even ‘Shallow’ would’ve been fine, just pick one! She’s a legend
@@petergabriel8961 No, they are not rulers any more, now they are the emperors of music industry because not just they did great on music but they also broke the stereotypes.
💯 💯 💯

Thank you
Thank you so much! You saved me from listening to mainly talking for 23 minutes.
Thank you
Having Adhd it's hard for me to watch any video all the way through longer than like 3 minutes ..so thank you
Putting Uptown Funk ahead of Blinding Lights should be a federal crime
"Blinding lights" is the perfect song to drive during the night alone
I mean it’s literally driving but not one you should Emulate
Yessir!
That needs to be the theme song to a GTA game.
No, After Dark is
Totally!
Other songs that could have been included:
"Can't Stop The Feeling!"- Justin Timberlake
"All About That Bass"- Meghan Trainor
Katy Perry- either "California Gurls", "Last Friday Night", or "Firework"
"Cake By The Ocean"- DNCE
"Juice"- Lizzo
Their list was suck!
The Katy songs I think were before 2012. They were on Teenage Dream in 2010.
WHERE'S AURORA
fireworks aswell
Beyonce, Gaga, Katy, Nicki, Rihanna, Adele,
Taylor and Ariana... Thank u for the amazing music ❤️
I can't believe that it's been over a decade since 2012, time certainly flies by!
11 years.
@Sly Stone which, would be over a decade 😉
@@jl1321 Yes you’re right, sometimes I forget that over means more than and no almost.
Love Me Like You Do deserved in spot of its own, not just an honorable mention.
Could replace the overly annoying "Despacito".
Amen🙌🏼. That song gave me an amazing sex life my senior year of college😂 The video was just so🤌🏼🔥
@@PhiZelak Dynamite should be replaced instead.
@@thankyou1147 , so there are two songs that need replacement.
@@PhiZelak
Despacito > Mi Gente
Dynamite : OUT
The erasure of Dark Horse/Roar is a crime. These two songs are one of the bestselling female songs and one of the most watched MV of all time.
Songs that should DEFINITELY have made the cut:
- Meghan Trainor, All About that Bass
- Katy Perry, Dark Horse
- Carly Rae Jepsen, Call Me Maybe
- Justin Bieber, Sorry
- Fifth Harmony, Work from Home
- Adele, Hello
- I would have changed Don’t Start now by New Rules
- I would have changed Shake it Off by Blank Space
You’re missing some amazing hits by Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.. they were HUGE in the last decade. But AWESOME #1! Totally agree that Uptown Funk is one of the best of the decade!
Britney Spears- Till the world ends-2011
Lady Gaga- Born This Way-2011
Katy Perry- Teenage dream-2010 or Roar-2013
Carly Rae Jepsen- Call Me Maybe
One Direction for goddamn heaven's sake!!!
Beyonce, Harry, Weeknd, BTS, Bruno, Ariana, Rihanna, Taylor and Ed are my favs💜💜💜
I'll be 27 this year but I'm proud to tell today's kids that these songs come from my time😂😂
For me no 1. is Hello by Adele, it’s so powerful, no other song during the decade surpasses Adele’s Hello for me.
Adele THEE Adkins ❤
I thought that would be on there for sure!! So shocked when it wasn’t!
Take me back to the 2000s actually. I was a kid then but actually the music slapped hard then.
My boys BTS 🤗 and the weeknd 🔥
Everytime I think of Happy now, I remember that lady that died right after making a fb post while driving about how much she loved the song
I know Imagine Dragons, Coldplay and One Republic are more "rock" but personally I feel they fall under this category as well, and though Adele is more of a soul adult contempoary vocalist, some songs of hers fall into this category too.
With that said....
-Send My Love To Your New Lover by Adele
-Can't Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake
-Payphone by Maroon 5
-Some Nights by Fun
-Drive By by Train
-Thunder by Imagine Dragons
-Heart Attack by Demi Lovato
-Counting Stars by One Republic
Can't Remember to Forget You by Shakira/Rihanna
and lastly A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay
Of what is listed.
Chandelier, Blinding Lights, Royals, Bad Guy, and Shape of You for the win.
Totally thought Thunder deserved to be on there, too. Makes me happy to see it mentioned by others! Also, OneRepublic is so underrated nowadays. It feels like people forgot about them but they’re so good.
2014 really one of the best years for pop music!!
Bruno Mars is well known but still feels underated idk why
I only know that he is my fav
BRUNO OOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Uptown funk number 1 very cool I love that song
Michelle Pfeiffer was mentioned in two hit 2014 songs, "Uptown Funk" and "Riptide." I'm delighted that the my favourite Catwoman actress became even more popular. 😻
"Woman" (2021) - Doja Cat 🐈
Should’ve known Uptown Funk would be #1, it’s one my favorite songs of all time
We need a part 2, there are too many songs to pick!!
What about a top 40.
Surprised "Sorry" didn't make it.
Get Lucky deserves to be in the top 5
You guys can't be serious. Miley Cyrus, Ariana and freaking Justin Bieber made it on this list but not Lady Gaga? The whole "Born This Way" is a legendary anthem!
that came out in 2011
@@jimbo9208 Yes, It is a 2010s song.
@@madman00774 when they say decade they mean 2012-2022
@@jimbo9208 Alright. Then how about Shallow? It's literally the most awarded song of all time!
Bieber didn't really make it on the list, it was just mentioned that he covered the song, they clearly credited the Luis Fonsi/Daddy Yankee OG for the list. Unless he was mentioned another time that I missed.
Circles by Post Malone should be on this list. It's pretty popular.
Sunflower was huuuuge, I’m shocked that wasn’t on there
Yeah, the lack of Posty definitely shows. Came down to see if anyone else commented this
That Bruno Mars guy has too much talent 😎
I’m not mad at any of these and Bruno taking that top spot I’m def here for 👏🏾
That list was amazing. From the beginning I was like, Despacito at #20? How much bigger can you go? But then it kept getting bigger and bigger and better and better.
you forgot to add fancy iggy azlea and charli xcx
ALL OF OUR FAVORITE HITS🥺🔥🔥
I'm sorry but where is Blank Space?😔
As iconic as the song is, nothing enrages me more than seeing non-Swifties judge Taylor Swift's songwriting abilities and musical talent from Shake It Off alone. Like get with the program peasants, that woman wrote Red, folklore and evermore. Bow! 👸🏼
And speak now ALONE
I’m kinda shocked with the lack of Lady Gaga, Adele, and Katy Perry but great list nonetheless.
Oh please MsMojo, no "DARK HORSE or ROAR" in this list? These two Katy Perry's songs are one of the bestselling, if not, the bestselling female song in 2010s decade and one of the most watched female music video. There are also better pop songs than some of the list or deserves an honorable mention.
Can't Hold Us Down
Sunflower
Just Give Me A Reason
Sorry
Closer
Call Me Maybe
Radioactive
Honorable Mentions: Backstreet Boys "In a World Like This" , "Show 'Em (What Your Made Of)" , "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" , "Chances" and "No Place" (2013-2019)
Better Now by Post Malone, New Rules by Dua Lipa, Shape of U by Ed Sheeran, Friends by Justin Bieber and Bloodpop, Love Lies by Khalid, Kodak Yellow by Cardi B, All the Stars by Kendrick Lamar, My My My by Troy Sivan, Sexual by Julia Michaels, Hey Look Ma I Made It by Panic at the Disco
I still can't figure out how Yummy by Justin Bieber was nominated for a Grammy over Blinding Lights by the Weeknd.
Payola
So bizarre. The lyrics are so simple it’s almost ridiculous while Blinding Lights was Michael Jackson reborn
We need a part 2 and maybe even a third one. Too many quality songs missing.
Perhaps you consider doing for other genres too
Man take me back to the 80"s if this is considered the best!!
The Weeknd will never let anyone down with his music ☺️
This video should be done every couple years, especially recapping the top 10 songs of the year. I know it was done in 2022, and I’m expecting it every year from now on 😁 and I also think different genres should be done, like R&B, please make it happen MsMojo
Why Despacito is at n.20 it should be higher, it’s know in all countries in the world and had more impact than half of these songs.
No Katy Perry? Roar? Dark Horse?
No. 1 UPTOWN FUNK 🎶❤👏
YAY HARRY
LWYMMD deserved a place in the hall of fame
Ok so no Adele, lady Gaga & Katy Perry?! Wow
Like these songs ?
Rolling in the deep
Bad romance
Dark horse
Before claiming that the last decade and pop music is anything to be excited about. Try listening to pop music of the last 50 years and ask yourself if we've not actually gone increasingly backwards. Taste, it's pretty undeniable Pop music today is overly manufactured, superficial and for the most part lacking in originality. Yes, we have teams of songwriters now writing songs that will last for weeks are months before they disappear, as opposed to a single person coming up something that will last for decades
I remember being on the kindergarten bus, while shake it off like every day
Miley 2013 number 1 hit
Miley 2023 number 1 hit
She is back again but so different.
How is lady gaga not on this list 😔
What about Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling?”
I knew it’d come down to Uptown Funk and Blinding Lights. Both are the biggest hits of the 2010s and 2020s respectively.
Very good list.
Where is Mirrors by Justin Timberlake
Where's BAD ROMANCE!!! That song is number one ever!!
We could really use the top 20 music videos of the last decade.
Harry Style's entry should have been As It Was and should have been the Top 1 for me.
Nope
Im proud of BTS...they really made it. Really teamwork makes the dream work. Gonna wait them to complete til 2025!
Katy Perry & Adele left the chat
21:47 up to 22:55 I knew Uptown Funk would be number 1! EXACTLY! Next year will be 10 years old too! YAY!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Can you make a video about top 10 performances at the Super Bowl halftime shows
did that like 10 times
😂yeah there’s definitely at least one of those, they reuse lists a lot
Using Watermelon sugar instead of As it Was and putting at 12 is throwing shade.
I have most of these in my playlist, they're that good
Yayyyy Ed Sheeran
yay .💃... And here I was thinking ...where is Bruno Mars? I'm so happy he made the list..for the past decade he 's been consistent in giving us really good music.
See you again should've been there ??? 😭😭😭
Yes
yes let the event begin
Where Chainsmoker I Need You Don't Let Me Down) FT Daya at. That song was such a banger of a dance song
Let’s pop on in
I'm glad Miley Cyrus's Bangerz got a spot. I was thinking We Can't Stop but Wrecking Ball is better. Love the list. Only song I would add is Sorry or Where are U now by Justin Bieber.
I literally thought rihanna would announce album number 9 at the super bowl rather than indirectly announce her 2nd pregnancy
Avicii: The Nights & Wake Me Up
Obviously my favorite pop song on this list not that I’m a big fan of pop but I like dynamite by BTS because that was the first full link English single that they release. I discovered them at the MTV video music awards back in 2020 when this Covid hit and they helped me on my bad break up with my last boyfriend I also like their songs, butter and permission to dance but I’ve been listening to their old stuff a lot and I saw them in Vegas about a year ago which was fun they are the reason I got into K-pop
i have been nicely welcomed by Dynamite. Thanks, MsMojo
Used love happy till my marching band director had us play 50 billion times in 6 weeks.
Great music list
I cannot tell you how much I loathe hotline bling...
Why so
Where in this video is Bang Bang from Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj? This music is the most iconic pop song of the past 10 years.
Despacito should have definitely placed higher than Mi Gente.
great video
Most successful and greatest pop songs during the last decade by years (2010-2019):
2010: fireworks by Katy Perry

honorable mentions: love the way you lie, baby, born this way, gangnam style, roar, shake it off, uptown funk, closer, new rules, gods plan and señorita.
I guess that Lady Gaga flew under the radar for MsMojo
Shake it Off seriously??? Blank Space or Style deserves it more.
Ikr
I mean Blank Space and Style are amazing, but in my country Shake it Off was the bigger hit as in it was EVERYWHERE. People who did not like taylor swift (yeah those crazy people) could not avoid the song.
As It Was by Harry Styles for sure is my #1 pop song (and of all time)! And then I love Without Me by Halsey at #2!
Yaaaaayyyy Dynamite!!!!!
Oh wow!
Amm closer by Chainsmokers 🤷🏻♀️
Dua bebesita lipa 😍
Taylor Swift , lady gaga , rihanna got the most pop songs
New rules should’ve been on this this
Selena Gomez should be on that list got so many songs!!!
Best music
