Who is (or will be) the biggest music act of the 2010s and only the 2010s?

Posted by Tim (aka othertim) Aug 12 '22, 14:49

For hard mode: no obvious one hit wonders (Baauer, Magic!, Psy, Gotye) or groups that broke up or went on permanent hiatus (fun., One Direction would also technically count even though most of them have successful solo careers).

When did Imagine Dragons fall off - Will Hunting Aug 12, 17:36 2
- Top ten hit this year. -- nm - Tim Aug 12, 17:45 1
  - (even though I can't figure out why) -- nm - Tim Aug 12, 17:45
I have absolutely no idea, thanks to all of you, maybe I will look less clueless. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 17:19
Ed Sheeran -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 12, 16:14 3
- Two big hits less than a year ago. -- nm - Tim Aug 12, 16:15 2
  - I thought he was one of the biggest touring acts of the 10s -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 12, 16:17 1
    - Yeah but no hits. Tim said. -- nm - con_carne Aug 12, 17:10
Amy Winehouse -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 12, 15:40 2
- LOve her,. I think she is more naughts. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 17:18
- Rehab 2006, all you guys who said Kesha are forgiven -- nm - crash davis Aug 12, 15:46
A year ago I would have said Psy but I think he just came back. Also Macklemore and Meghan Trainor. -- nm - Max Aug 12, 15:36 1
- Wikipedia says Psy had a #1 hit in Korea this year (may have helped that a member of BTS was on the song). The other two aren't bad choices. - Tim Aug 12, 15:40
Dead & Co. -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 12, 15:30
Newer Kesha songs include the following: - Qale As Folk Aug 12, 15:27 8
- Praying remains one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. -- nm - Tim Aug 12, 16:15 1
  - If the radio version had the same arrangement as her Grammy performance, it’s amazing. Instead they tried to show off her vocal talents with runs - Will Hunting Aug 12, 17:35
- I am very uncool, so everyone else probably hates this song, but my favorite Kesha performance is Timber with Pitbull - crash davis Aug 12, 16:07 1
  - It's going down. -- nm - Tim Aug 12, 16:15
- Taste so good is fantastic. The rest are filler. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 15:58 1
  - I will not tolerate this Kesha slander! -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 12, 16:02
- She never should've dropped the dollar sign -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 12, 15:29 1
  - I can’t fault her for it. Had to have been pretty cathartic. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 12, 15:41
I know next to nothing about modern pop music and EVEN I know that Tik Tok came out in 2009 and thus Kesha does not count -- nm - crash davis Aug 12, 15:17 5
- Kesha 100% counts. Wasn’t a hit until 2010. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 15:57 2
  - I'm willing to round up but doesn't #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 multiple weeks in December make it a hit in 2009? -- (edited) - Max Aug 12, 16:00 1
    - didn't some characters in the first Dr. Strange have a similar conversation? -- nm - crash davis Aug 12, 16:17
- Small asterisk as it was late 2009 and it was the first #1 hit of the 2010s. -- nm - Tim Aug 12, 15:18 1
  - August 7th, *eyebrow raise^ -- nm - crash davis Aug 12, 15:21
I LOVE Kesha, but I’d assume she’s near the top of that list. And honestly…Nicki Minaj as a solo artist. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 15:12 1
- see below about Kesha. I feel like Nicki gave way to Cardi B who gave way to Megan Thee Stallion and now Doja Cat. -- nm - Tim Aug 12, 15:16
Chainsmokers -- nm - The Allfather Aug 12, 14:53 1
- I think that's right and also Kesha (for unfortunate reasons) - Tim Aug 12, 14:56
