Pop, rap rules decade charts

“When I See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa could be the perfect anthem to close out the past decade of music and to reflect on some signature moments.

“Watch the Throne” by Jay-Z and Kanye West became one of the best collaborative efforts by a rap duo ever, while One Direction would be formed on The X Factor and would rise to heights few boy bands had ever seen before.

The music kept coming as Taylor Swift would teach everyone how to “Shake it Off,” Carly Rae Jepsen provided the earworm that is “Call Me Maybe,” and Rae Sremmurd would unintentionally create an anthem for the forgettable internet fad that was “The Mannequin Challenge” with their hit “Black Beatles.”

Looking back on the decade, music fans will remember their discussions of “Sicko Mode” or “Mo Bamba,” playing “Despacito” on loop, and trying to be the next great cowboy rapper after Lil Nas X took over the airways with “Old Town Road.”
