Na onda de retrospectivas a respeito do que marcou culturalmente a última década, a Billboard elaborou uma lista com 100 músicas que definiram os últimos dez anos: na seleção, há desde canções de artistas já consagrados, como Adele, Beyoncé e Taylor Swift, quanto faixas de "one-hit wonders", ou seja, aqueles músicos que estouraram globalmente com apenas um trabalho, para depois voltar aos seus nichos (ou mesmo desaparecer completamente) – como Gotye, Psy e Rebecca Black.

Os estilos são bem variados, com predominância do pop e do hip-hop/R&B, mas passando também pelo rock, pelo country e pelo eletrônico – e destacando a ascensão mundial do k-pop e da música latina. E há até uma canção da Disney: a onipresente Let It Go, da trilha sonora de Frozen, que levou o Oscar de Melhor Canção Original em 2014.
