100 songs for the 2010s: Billie Eilish’s ‘Bad Guy’ #10

Hello! And welcome to #10 entry of the project. I'm honestly surprised to have made 1/10 way there. How nice that to celebrate this achievement we are discussing one of my personal favourites of the decade - Billie Eilish's 'Bad Guy'. The world was first introduced to Billie Eilish in 2015/16 but didn't really take

100 songs for the 2010s: Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ #9

Hello! And welcome to #9 entry of the project! As hinted in the ending of #8, the ninth song of the list is the anthem of modern female empowerment - specifically the empowerment of women of colour. It's Beyoncé's 'Formation'. Truthfully speaking, I feel hesitant to speak about Beyonce and her music as I am

100 songs for the 2010s: Becky G & Natti Natsha’s ‘Sin Pijama’ #8

Hello! We are already on #8. Struggling but going strong. We are discussing Becky G & Natti Natsha's 'Sin Pijama'. Another recent entry into the list (released in 2018), 'Sin Pijama' showcases another change in the popular music of the last decade (in addition to the genre-defying changes of #7). Sung entirely in Spanish, 'Sin

100 songs for the 2010s: Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line’s ‘Meant to Be’ #7

Hello! I really need to up my introduction game because I'm already getting bored of the whole 'Welcome to entry #*insert number here*' thing. It's #7, though. Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line's 'Meant to Be' is one of the newer entries on the list. So far, as the list is alphabetical, majority of As

100 songs for the 2010s: Baauer’s ‘Harlem Shake’ #6

Hello! And welcome to the #6 entry on the list. This time around, we are not really talking about a song but rather a meme-full pop-culture event - Baauer's 'Harlem Shake'. I'm not counting 'Harlem Shake' as a song because up until opening a page to write this blog post, I did not know the

100 songs for the 2010s: Azealia Banks feat. Lazy Jay’s ‘212’ #5

Hello! And welcome to #5 entry and perhaps the most controversial song on the list so far - Azealia Banks feat. Lazy Jay's '212'. I won't pretend to understand the culture behind this song but will tell you my personal take on it. I think I stumbled upon this song on YouTube in 2012, a

100 songs for the 2010s: Avicii’s ‘Levels’ #4

Hello! Welcome to day 2 of the challenge and #4 song on the list. This is the first quite sombre entry - Avicii's 'Levels'. Coming out in the early 2010s and absolutely dominating the radio and the charts, 'Levels' brought EDM music into the forefront. Suddenly, the beats of the underground and club scenes were

100 songs for the 2010s: Ariana Grande’s ‘Thank U, Next’ #3

Hello! This is the third entry in the December project! I am truly hitting the full trifecta for the day 1 posts by featuring something unknow (#1), something I loved (#2), as well as something I dislike. And, oh boy, I'm probably gonna get hate for this. The third entry is Ariana Grande's 'Thank U,

100 songs for the 2010s: Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ #2

Hello! And welcome to the 2nd post of the December project (info here). Whereas the first song I covered was completely unfamiliar to me, the second entry on the list - Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' - is a song I have listened to countless times throughout the decade. Whilst the whole decade was immensely successful

100 songs for 2010s: A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘We The People’ #1

Hello! And welcome to the 1st of the planned 100 posts this month. More details about my December project here. The song that we are starting the month with is A Tribe Called Quest's 'We The People'. It is an interesting song to start a decade overview with because I have heard it for the
