Hello all,

We've done Moopy's all-time favorite song contest and get the same or sameish result each time (hi "Like a Prayer", "Running Up That Hill" and "Confide in Me"). However, I find the latter day acclaimed pop hits much more interesting to compile. I'm pretty confident our Madge will not have the same luck in this poll.

EVERYONE GETS TO NOMINATE TWENTY SONGS IN THIS THREAD

As for RULES, there aren't many.... aside from the fact that the song must have been released January 1, 2010 or later. If it came out in 2009 on an album but was released as a single and/or peaked in 2010 that is fine (see Gaga's "Telephone", Cherly's "3 Words", etc). Please only nominate one song per artist. And finally, if someone already nominated a song don't nominate it again, as a song can only be nominated once...

I realize the decade is not quite over yet, which is why I will keep this thread open until January 2020. If you want to add a 2019 song feel free to add to your original post (I won't count 2019 songs toward the 20).

LASTLY, feel free to nominate your FIVE MOST HATED songs of the 2010s as well.... we will be presenting those as well. This is not necessary in order to nominate your top twenty favorite, mind....

I'm not sure I can offer an additional 20. It's been such a rubbish decade.
 
I'm not sure I can offer an additional 20. It's been such a rubbish decade.
It felt like 2016-2018 in particular were rather disposable, but I'm not sure if time will make me more fond.
 
This is an excellent idea. I'd be happy to help you write the results next year, if you need it.

I'll wait a few months in case anything world-changing comes out in 2019 but here are my most hated songs of the decade. It was incredibly difficult to pick out the worst Jessie J and Ed Sheeran songs.

Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit)
Ed Sheeran - Galway Girl
Duffy - Well, Well, Well
Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now?
Lukas Graham - 7 Years
 
lord, where to start. for the record are we including stuff released in 2010?
 
Loreen - Euphoria
RuPaul - Sissy That Walk
CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share
Rihanna/ Calvin Harris - We Found Love
Nicki Minaj - Starships
David Guetta/ Sia - Titanium
Adele - Rolling in the Deep
Jessie Ware - Wildest Moments
Zedd/ Ariana Grande - Break Free
Carly Rae Jepsen - I Don't Just Come Here to Dance
Katy B - Crying For No Reason
Cheryl - Call My Name
Girls Aloud - Something New
Iron & Wine - The Desert Babbler
Blondie - Long Time
Lana del Rey - Young and Beautiful
Susanne Sundfør — Delirious
Margaret Berger - I Feed You My Love
Beyonce - Drunk in Love

a quick shortlist suggests 71 songs are in contention for my votes...
i never know how to play this (i.e. choose the easy pleasers or my true favourites less people have heard of) but i'll get them down to 20 soon enough.

Robyn - Dancing On My Own

I'd be interested to see if people prefer the first or second half of the decade.
 
I can never remember when loads of stuff was released for stuff like this but I’ll try. I could easily pick 20 songs most probably won’t have heard so I’ll try and think of hits.
 
Unsurprisingly I had some time to spare so this is my current list (Krust has several of my original choices, good taste there):

Lorde - Supercut
Kanye West - All of the Lights
The Weeknd - High for This
Phoenix - Entertainment
Foster the People - Houdini

Childish Gambino - Redbone
Frank Ocean - Pink Matter
Robyn - Hang with Me
Daft Punk - Get Lucky
Kelis - Acapella

Chase & Status - Blind Faith
Drake - One Dance
Kendrick Lamar - Backseat Freestyle
Lizzo - Good as Hell
K'naan - Wavin' Flag

Jessie Ware - Champagne Kisses
The 1975 - Chocolate
Sky Ferreira - You're Not the One
Miguel - Adorn
Ed Sheeran - Castle on the Hill

2010-2014 - 14
2015-2019 - 6
 
I am aware there is absolutely no point me doing this, but I thought I would anyway for my own amusement :)

If they are supposed to be singles I will edit.

BC Camplight - I'm Desperate
Bat For Lashes - Laura
Broken Bells - Perfect World
Desperate Journalist - Control
Everything Everything - MY KZ, UR BF
FFS - Police Encounters
Charlotte Gainsbourg - Sylvia Says
Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx - NY Is Killing Me
John Grant - Black Belt
John Maus - Quantum Leap
Cate Le Bon - Sisters
Marina & The Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot
Metronomy - The Bay
MGMT - Brian Eno
Morrissey - Staircase at the University
The National - Conversation 16
Pet Shop Boys - Twenty-Something
Shamir - On the Regular
St Vincent - Digital Witness
Teleman - Dusseldorf
 
Haven't seen these listed yet...

Marina and the Diamonds - Fear And Loathing
SOPHIE - It's Okay To Cry
Charli XCX - Boom Clap
Charli XCX - 5 In The Morning
Manic Street Preachers - Show Me The Wonder
Christine And The Queens - Tilted
Lana Del Rey - Love
Ariana Grande - No Tears Left To Cry
The National - Lemonworld

...I don't see any point in nominating stuff no-one has heard. Will add more if I think of any.
 
Marina & The Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot

Was a limited edition single in 2009 but ir was on an album in 2010 and given a full issue as a single also in 2010 so i think it should be accepted.

I really wanted to put Mowgli's Road but it's 2009 and was never given a "full" single release.
