The past decade has seen the rise of a new pop aristocracy. If one artist towered above the rest it was arguably Lady Gaga, who rose from mere pop star to global multimedia superstar. But she wasn’t the only one: a handful of megastars have ruled the pop landscape throughout the 2010s – Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber – and there’s...
One thing that definitely changed music in the 2010s music is the way fans consumed it. In 2010 you were probably still debating whether to throw your CDs out after ripping the music to iTunes. Spotify was quietly introduced as a streaming platform in 2011, and streaming revenue eventually overtook physical sales in 2017. At the moment, paid stream...
Still, it’s hard to break out via YouTube without a budget, at least enough for a good video cam and some editing chops. It was SoundCloud that democratised the music-making process in the 2010s, making a potential worldwide audience available to anyone with a cheap recording device. In fact, the low-tech nature of SoundCloud played directly into o...
Nearly 40 years since the dawn of hip-hop, the 2010s was finally the decade when rap outsold rock music. The real shocker, however, is that it took so long for this to happen. Hip-hop didn’t overtake rock in sales at the end of the 80s – when everyone you knew had to own a copy of NWA’s Straight Outta Compton and Public Enemy’s Fear Of A Black Plan...
‘Despacito’ was one of the biggest hits of the 2010s, and it exemplified another trend: Latin music’s move into the mainstream. Of course, the definition of Latin music hasn’t necessarily involved pianos, trumpets and congas for decades. Reggaeton and trap are now the state of Spanish-language pop, and the freshest crossovers are coming from Latin ...
Country and hip-hop music have also become unlikely partners – just one of the ways in which country has transformed in the past decade. At the start of the 2010s, slick Nashville country was the only game in town, becoming so pervasive that a pair of veteran country stars, George Strait and Alan Jackson, made a landmark protest song about it with ...
The 2010s was also the decade when the British Empire struck back. The British Invasion has never really let up, and there hasn’t been a time since 1964 when UK artists haven’t been at the international forefront, from Radiohead and Oasis in the 90s, to Amy Winehouse, Coldplay, Adele and Radiohead (again) in the 00s. The UK just sends fresh reinfor...
Another phenomenon in 2010s music that never quite went away is the rise of boy/girl bands. Many of the original crop (Hanson, New Kids On The Block, Backstreet Boys) are now passing themselves off as grizzled veterans, while classic-model boy bands continued to flourish in the 2010s. Jonas Brothers were still in their first run of success as the d...
But ‘Gangnam Style’ opened the door for younger K-pop acts to conquer the world, and, in BTS’ case, that came out of a concerted effort to break America. They raised a buzz with a few isolated LA shows in 2014, then came back two years ago for some well-orchestrated TV shows and collaborations with American hip-hop and EDM artists like Chainsmokers...

By the 2010s, rap was finally on the world’s biggest stages, despite having been virtually unbookable for anything other than club dates in the ’80s and ’90s over concerns about violence and low ticket sales.
