The 2010s are finally behind us, and time will tell if they go down in history as a great decade for music. They sure were one hell of a ride and gave us several trends that are still making a huge impact.
Latin Craze
Latin artists never stopped dropping amazing music, but their songs finally moved into the mainstream this decade, and they regularly top annual lists of the most viewed YouTube videos.
Epic Collaborations
Collaborations between the artists are nothing new, but social media is making it easier for them to get in touch and plan something amazing together.
EDM Rise
EDM is no longer reserved for the clubs, and it finally reached the stadiums this decade thanks to popularity of Deadmau5, Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello and many other world-famous DJs.
Big Break
The days when you needed a contract with a major label to drop an amazing song are thing of the past. SoundCloud, YouTube and similar platforms are making it easier for aspiring musicians to share their material with the world and find a new audience.
Pop Megastars
Social media also led to a rise of a new breed of “ride or die” fans, and Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber are only some of the stars who discovered what it’s look to be seen as a pop deity and be adored by the masses.
