Which songs from the last decade (2014-2024) will become classics? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So far I think "Uptown Funk", "Blinding Lights", and "Old Town Road". That doesn't mean I love those songs. It means I think they answer the question. I know you may love "Irony x3" by Zigbones. But they ain't it.

Edit: I'm sorry for the poorly worded question. I think it's autism related, but I don't see possibilities or alternative understandings easily, and when I wrote "decade" I thought 10 years and that was it.

Of course anyone answering from the perspective of 2010-2020 was making a perfectly reasonable and rational answer and I was very dismissive. I'm really sorry for that.

I think I disagree. Only a very small subset of music from the decade permeated my oblivion of modern music. I expect the songs that managed to do that are the ones that will be remembered. I agree with OP's list, I know those songs.

Add to that:

Born this Way
Wake me up
Shake it off
Someone that I used to know

Taylor Swift probably has at least 5 that will be considered classics.

Just go to her top played songs and you could put any of them on that list. Which is wild
