The Biggest Songs of the 2020s so far

[@steinsr3819]

Blinding Lights is the definition of 2020s 💯

[@Coralclubglobal]

Only Dua Lipa has 3 songs on this video

[@anonnyanonymous4800]

The entire album Future Nostalgia is so listenable.

[@Landiiana]

@@anonnyanonymous4800because she has the best album of this decade

[@akifyyy]

No doja cat and olivia rodrigo? They dominated 2021 tf

[@JasperErichi]

Ikr 😒

[@florisvantongeren4082]

Kill Bill went to number one on the billboard hot 100

[@Osithecrabbiest]

I thought I was going crazy. It was number two for WEEKS before going number one.

[@ababyrainbow_3099]

How's Olivia Rodrigo not here??

[@mamonardo7458]

Because her numbers aren’t big enough. This is a list based purely on numbers and Olivia seemed to not make enough.

[@JasperErichi]

The way drivers license wasn’t even mentioned and it broke several GLOBAL records. It topped charts in A LOT OF countries

[@Yagamylights]

Beautiful things isn't big enough to be so high up in the list

[@BadBoyEdd]

plus, it's overrated af

[@daisy9650]

2020s so far is an amazing decade for music, with 2024 being the greatest one yet. So many hits last year. Here’s to wonderful music in 2025.

[@danielmagele9307]

its interesting how songs like last nights by Morgan Wallen and the Bar song spend so many weeks at number 1 on the Billboard yet makes so little noise in the global sphere

[@RoxyWeasley12193]

Because country is a genre which doesn't have any appealing on an international level. Nothing wrong with it, it's just that most countries have their own traditions of pop/rock bands or singer-songwriters who make similar music with lyrics in the local language so there's no need to import these sounds from the US.

[@kendrikude5157]

Fun Facts: 'Calm Down' (remix) is the first and only song by an afrobeat artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify.

[@ilyailya1535]

"Unforgettable" by French Monta (Morocco); "One Dance" by Wizkid (Nigeria)

[@kendrikude5157]

@@ilyailya1535 one dance is not an afrobeat song and it not owned by WizKid French Montana is not a Afrobeat artist

[@RoxyWeasley12193]

No song will ever top Blinding Lights. It came out exactly at the right moment, bringing joy and hope to audiences of all ages and across the globe during one of the most difficult times. It has so many emotions and memories bound to it for so many people.

[@KingJ1110]

It's crazy how many of these peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 100

[@Coralclubglobal]

Dua Lipa ❤❤❤

[@sanparisco]

Cruel Summer in top 6 while released in 2019❤❤🎉

[@karlbts4081]

Yes but it became a single in 2023 that's why.

[@sanparisco]

@karlbts4081 I know but it was originally realeased in 2019. But yeah it gained more popularity during The Eras Tour.

[@dararadomdam3126]

2020s (2020 to 2029) songs 2019 out

[@94mp99]

Being released as a single during the 2020s say otherwise.

[@richmaxmchalliwchester1984]

Dance Monkey is from 2019 and Beautiful Things isn't as big of a song as the rest on this list. You also missed Anti-Hero

[@Troyrbasketball]

Mood?

[@fadingnebulous]

Songs that feel like they are missing: “Cuff It” by Beyoncè “Break My Soul” by Beyoncè “The Sign” by Lizzo “About Damn Time” by Lizzo “Rain On Me” by Lady Gaga ft. Ariana Grande “Babylon” by Lady Gaga “Yes, and?” by Ariana Grande “We Can’t Be Friends” by Ariana Grande “Driver’s License” by Olivia Rodrigo “Good 4 U” by Olivia Rodrigo “Get Him Back” by Olivia Rodrigo “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan “Hot To Go” by Chappell Roan “360” by Charli XCX “Apple” by Charli XCX “Nasty” by Tinashe “Taste” by Sabrina Carpenter “Break My Heart” by Dua Lipa “Cool” by Dua Lipa “Houdini” by Dua Lipa “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar “Hiss” by Megan Thee Stallion “Kiss Me More” by Doja Cat ft. SZA “Paint The Town Red” by Doja Cat “Agora Hills” by Doja Cat “Butter” by BTS “What Was I Made More For?” By Billie Eilish “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” by the cast of Encanto

[@marcinmakara9600]

Majority of these songs weren't as much decade defining as those mentioned in the video, and most of them didn't have any longevity

[@fadingnebulous]

⁠​⁠@@marcinmakara9600I understand where are you coming from, but your stance is arguably subjective. Especially because this video mostly highlighted chart success and streams and a chunk of the songs selected would also fit your criteria your criteria of not being era-defining. If we are strictly talking about charts, then sure, some of my choices aren’t up to snuff. But if we include critical darlings, viral sensations, songs that represent what’s happening in the zeitgeist, songs that shifted or challenged the shape of pop/R&B/rock music to come in the 2020s, or songs that appeared in commercials or were promotions/needle drops in film & TV… then, yes, absolutely all of these should be included. Pop music and pop culture are just as significant as a song charting. It’s literally why Beyoncé earned her spot over Taylor Swift on Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century list. If you just go by statistics and sales, you miss a whole range of what is happening elsewhere.

[@ilyailya1535]

"Nasty", "Cool", "Houdini", "yes end? ", "Hiss", "360", "Apple", "Babylon", "Break My Soul", "Get Him Back"?😂 These songs weren't even hits

[@fadingnebulous]

@ilyailya1535 “Break My Soul” and “Yes, and?” topped Billboard Hot 100, “Hiss” topped the Billboard Global 200, “Nasty” was a viral sensation and was a Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Apple” was a viral hit and peaked at No. 12 on the Pop Airplay chart, "Get Him Back!" landed in the Top 10 and Top 20 of most pop and rock charts around the world, “Cool” was on various movie soundtracks and commercials, “Houdini” peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Dance/Electronic Songs chart for 17 Weeks and “Babylon” was a club hit with DJs and drag artists (which, by and large, affect pop culture). Google and Bing are free, and trolls are best left in fairytales and make-believe.

2:47 birds of a feather did not release on July 2 2024 it released on May 17 2024 and it wasn’t the 2nd single Chihiro was the 2nd single

[@datjasminecat]

actually no, despite getting a music video before boaf, chihiro is technically not a single as it was never serviced to radio boaf was serviced to radio on july 2, making it the second single ON JULY 2. but it did technically release first in may as an album track

[@ilyailya1535]

"Water" is a very small hit compared to many other songs.
