Favorite pop song from the last 10 years?

It's a three-way tie between:
"King of Anything" - Sara Bareilles
"Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia
"Dream" - Bishop Briggs

I don’t listen to pop music nearly as much as I did when I was younger but the first song that popped into my head was Audra Day’s “Rise Up.” Always happy to hear it — I even like the cover their using for the new Indeed Super Bowl spot.

Speaking of Andra, this Diane Warren song has a classic vibe.

I hate most Millennial / Zoomer music, so it's going to be a short list. I don't know for sure, but my favorite is probably "I Can't Feel My Face" by the Weeknd.

This one's catchy. That's what I hate most about modern pop -- trying to find catchy songs.
Sadly, it's all Drake and Sia now. Boo.

Not sure I can pick one but I have a few top faves.
One is “Chinatown” by Wild Nothing, which is cheating a little because Gemini was released in 2010.

Was not a fan of hers at all before that song. Too bad she sang it with R Kelly. It's a near perfect pop song.

Kygo with Parson James in “Stole The Show”
Or

Parson James is delightful, but his music isn’t pop - more soul.

I can’t think of a single pop song. And the only album, released in the past 10 years, I like is Sufjan Steven’s “Carrie & Lowell”. Pop music has dumbed down to such a profound degree, it’s depressing.

Looking at my Spotify top 40 of the 2010s, everything is a bit underground (I loved it, others not so much). The ones that were big hits:
Dancing on my Own - Robyn
Nice for What - Drake
Let it Happen - Tame Impala
Tilted - Christine and the Queens

R45 I love good disco, but that heavy disco remix sounds more like a 1990s disco-inspired club mix. It doesn't retain any of the airy, magical essence of the Limahl original.

I love this song, Feel It Still, but the video doesn’t do it justice. They should have just had the women from Mad Men dancing to it.

Oh, and apparently, Bareilles' "King of Anything" was released in 2010, and not 2011. But I included it anyway. Because it's fucking great. And so is "Uncharted", from the same album. That whole album is really good.
My boyfriends Ben Folds & Josh Groban both make cameos in the video.

Safe & Sound - Capitol Cities (2011)
I never tire of the video or the song. Most videos don't have any creativity or budget nowadays. It's just a live ego driven performance put on tape. Ho hum.
The song always gets my toes tapping & the video really comes alive for me at the 1:28 mark when the 70s/disco era kicks in.
A great statement about humanity's love of both war & peace with all of the fallout from both =

Little Mix actually produced some catchy, powerful pop that harks back to the Good Old Days.
I worry they weren't bigger because the lead singer and her fivehead aren't the prettiest.

Don't get me started on "Neverending Story" remixes, r63. I'm sure I have a couple you'd like, such as this Dance Mix from Limahl himself. But we don't want to make this an '80s thread.

"Feels" didn't bore me like most Calvin Harris music. I'm guessing that's because it has Pharrell Williams Power.
