Talking about pop:
- Blinding lights
- Rolling in the deep
- Get Lucky
- Happy
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!

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)
@[email protected] 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
Who sings blinding lights?
The Weeknd
Satrday Snday
I only know Blinding lights from those. Looks like I'm pretty out of touch with modern music.

Anyone over 35 should just not answer this question, very little chance weβll be right
Also, for anyone over 35, our ability to understand βlast decadeβ 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:
- Born this Way
- Wake me up
- Shake it off
- Someone that I used to know
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
Nothing too niche or topical. Has to have some sort of timeless quality, meaningful lyrics and emotional resonance. Not a "fad" genre, a sea shantey won't do (yes its centuries of tradition but in it's old form it isn't mainstream). Cultural impact which means it will moat likely be from your mainstream artists, taylor swift, kanye west, maybe billie eilish gets there. I also think it's probably going to be more women defining an era of music than ever before.
Added advantages, either something that was early in a musical tradition or helped it peak, we've seen this with classics in the moat recent big genre, rap.
As for the tiktok songs. We don't know how internet virality affects the legacy of these songs. A lot of the earbugs are shallow short bits. I'm going to ignore those, otherwise I think some of the smarter songs will maybe be appreciated a little while later too.
So my list:
- Royals by lorde
- Rolling in the deep by adele
- Runaway by Kanye
- Sign of the times by harry styles
- Hotline Bling by drake, i'm 50/50 on this one
- All Too Well/ Blank Space by Taylor Swift
- Alright by Kendrick Lamar
- Formation by Beyonce
- Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
- Chandlier by Sia
- Uptown Funk Mark Ronson 50/50
- Let It Happen by Tame Impala
- Nights by Frank Ocean
I think a couple of these are pre 2014 tho. But are within the last 15 for sure.
Rolling in the deep is too old for sure. I almost included Royals but it was just too old at 11 years.
Unless you consider "the last decade" being 2010-2020 with us in "the current decade" now, 2020-2030

Look at what Weird Al has parodied. Because it's gonna be disproportionately that.
My first thought was indeed Blinding Lights.
Wet Ass-Pussy, by Cardi B
I could see The Less I Know the Better having some staying power.
I think I'll die if I hear a weird music kid from my child's generation talking about Death Grips in 10 years or so.

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.
Baby Shark
Havana Camila Cabello Ed sheeran Shape Of You Olivio Rodrigo Brutal
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.
Some of the older songs by Skrillex? Or how about songs by Aurora, Alec Benjamin and Sia? Or maybe Passenger and Ed Sheeran?
I thought "Shape of You" might be there.

Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo
Bad Guy by Billie Eilish
WAP.
Uptown Funk is already a classic dude
That one Fetty Wap song
Despacito
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 isnβt even from the 21st century.
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".
