In the 2010s "We Found Love," then "Let It Go." Somehow ended up "Drunk In Love" on someone's "Wrecking Ball." And when that was over, we wound up saying "Sorry," but it was all a part of "God's Plan," 'cause now we're saying "thank u, next" to the decade of "Playing Games" and "Hello" to the "Blank Space" that is the 2020s, which will surely be "Unforgettable."
If you got through all that, you already know that we're looking back on the last 10 years of music — every song that you couldn't get out of your head, the tracks you always turned to when times were tough, and the songs that were on repeat for a good month (or six).
