At the beginning of the decade, would anybody have guessed that Post Malone, of all people, would have three of the most popular songs of the last ten years? The "White Iverson" rapper blew up on SoundCloud a few years ago and his rise to superstardom has been nothing short of incredible. With his goofy persona and his face filled with ink markings, the Texas-raised rapper has become a true fan-favorite after being criticized for so long by the hip-hop community. Everything he releases turns to gold with all three of his albums enjoying tremendous chart success, streaming like crazy. It's honestly no surprise, knowing what he's become, that three of his records made Nielsen's list of the top-streamed songs of the decade but one newcomer is lucky enough to find his name right at the top.
As we begin a new decade, we look back at all the amazing hits we received in the 2010s. If you were wondering what the ten largest songs of the last ten years were, we've got you covered, beginning with the one-year-old "Old Town Road" at the pole position with 2.5 billion total streams. Right behind it is "Despacito" with Post Malone's first entry, "rockstar," earning the third spot. Elsewhere on the chart, Posty finds himself at No. 7 and No. 9 with "Congratulations" and "Sunflower" respectively. Of course, it would be incomplete without Drake's "God's Plan" earning a spot, as well as the ultra-popular "Lucid Dreams" from the late Juice WRLD.
Are there any surprises on this list? Who do you think will lead the next decade in hits?
Beyoncé Shares "2019 Bey-Cap" IG Video Highlighting Public & Private Moments
The twins are so cute!
The Beyhive almost had a heart attack when just 10 minutes before the east coast rang in the new year, Beyoncé uploaded a blank, black screen to her Instagram page. It took less than thirty seconds for theorists to begin speculating as to what the Lemonade singer had in store. She's become known for her surprise album drops that break the internet, but this time around, it looks as if Bey just wanted to celebrate the new year with a video featuring the highlights of her decade.
Beyoncé, Jay Z, Childish Gambino, and Oumou Sangaré's "Mood 4 Eva" played as the soundtrack to the blinking photos from the last 10 years of Bey's life. There were images of the singer and her rapper husband at a slew of events including Roc Nation brunches, sitting courtside at basketball games, Blue Ivy's birthday, Tyler Perry's Studio opening, Valentine's Day, the Brit Awards, Oscar's afterparties, the GLAAD Awards, Diana Ross's birthday event, NAACP Awards, and appearing on red carpets...just to name a few.
Her acclaimed Coachella performance along with its accompanying Homecoming documentary was littered throughout, but a major highlight of the fast-moving clip is being able to see a tad more behind-the-scenes footage of the Knowles-Carters' family life. Check it out below.
