Top 100 MOST POPULAR Songs of the 2010s: 80 - 61

This week we are diving back through the 2010s decade in music, revisiting the most popular songs that either enriched our souls or were the bane of our existence. If you read through the intro in part one of this post, you know the drill. If you're randomly joining the party here in the middle, let me quickly recap. This list is the capstone of my ongoing Billboard Project that I've spent the majority of this decade on. I started with 1958 and now here we are reviewing the 2010s. As far as methodology goes, this is only a tracking of the top 10. Since I don't have access to official chart points, I created my own one-point sliding scale where the top song gets 10 points. Songs that crossed two decades are included in the decade wherein they got the post points. And 2013-2019 is weighted differently than 2010-2012 since February 2013 is when YouTube views became part of Billboard's formula. If you want to a read a slightly more detailed version of that, go read my intro in the first post. But all those technicalities aren't the fun part. Re-experiencing all these songs are! So let's dive into part two of this list!
