The 8 most influential musicians of the 2010s

Over the past decade, the music industry has once again evolved into a booming business. With that growth, artists have been bringing their best to the table and while there’s more music out there than ever, only a select few are able to undoubtedly influence the masses. Whether it’s breaking boundaries sonically, lyrically or by simply being themselves, singers like Lady Gaga, Lorde, Kanye West and more have paved the way for music throughout the 2010s. Here are eight influential musicians are the past decade:

Lorde
Touching the hearts of 20-something-year-olds around the world, Lorde easily earns a spot among this list, despite only having two studio albums.

Sonically, Lorde’s Pure Heroine blends minimal beats with soaring synths that, ultimately, create a visceral soundscape. Breaking into her sophomore effort, Melodrama, Lorde expresses the ups and downs of growing up with pulsating beats and club-like instrumentation. To be blunt, Lorde can do it all.

On top of her sound, the now 23-year-old captures both the essence of teen angst and the blinding hysteria of becoming an adult throughout her lyrics. Looking at contemporaries like Halsey, Billie Eilish and Sigrid, it’s easy to see that Lorde has made her mark.

Kanye West
Love him or hate him, it’s undeniable that Kanye West has had a massive impact on hip-hop and music as a whole during the 2010s. Without Kanye, the world would most likely not have Drake, The Weeknd, Kid Cudi or most popular rappers today.

Breaking musical and societal boundaries, Kanye has always been about doing what’s different. Whether it’s electrifying and polarizing listeners with albums like 808s & Heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and The Life of Pablo or Kanye creating controversy with his actions and words, he has continued to stay relevant since his first album dropped in 2004.

Hip-hop wouldn’t be what it is today without the influence of Kanye, and even as he dropped what may be his worst album to date with Jesus Is King, the rapper will remain to influence listeners and contemporaries for years to come.

Beyonce
Some celebrities view themselves and other stars as normal people, but despite that, Beyonce is even a celebrity for other celebrities. Over the past decade, the “Crazy In Love” singer has crafted her music into being more than notes and lyrics, but a catalyst for something more.

Throughout the past decade, Beyonce illustrated the resurgence of the surprise album drop with her 2013 self-titled release, created a movement of black love and cultural celebration with her concept album Lemonade and captured a new generation of hearts as the voice of Nala in Disney’s live-action Lion King.

All in all, it would basically be a crime to not include Beyonce on a list of influential artists.

Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga has forever been an artist who is unabashedly herself, and that factor alone means she should be a part of this list. Whether it’s her image, sound or message, Gaga has remained a tour de force in the pop world that’s always stayed true to herself.

In 2011, the pop diva told the world she was “Born This Way” and in 2019 she has broken industry barriers and remains an influence for up-and-coming female singers.

Arguably most notable in the past decade, Gaga solidified herself as Barbara Streisand-level influential when she starred in the 2018 version of A Star Is Born with Bradley Cooper. Other than her exceptional acting in the film, Gaga became the first person to earn an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe and BAFTA award in one year for work on the film’s soundtrack. She’s a queen to say the least.


James Blake
Out of everyone on this list, James Blake may be the name everyday music listeners don’t recognize—but trust us, he deserves a spot on this list.

Domineering minimalistic electronic-led R&B, Blake has been cranking out masterful releases over the past 10 years. Most recently seen on his 2019 album Assume Form, Blake melds his haunting vocals with a blend of piano chords, hip-hop beats, synths and sparse ambience.

Furthermore, Blake has impacted and worked with some of the biggest names in music today, including Bon Iver, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce and Frank Ocean. No matter if Blake is behind the scenes producing or melting listeners ears with his atmospheric music, he’s influencing the sound of today—and tomorrow.

Taylor Swift
To be frank, it would be a crime to not include one of the best-selling artists of all time in this list, and Taylor Swift is just that.

Arguably the most successful crossover artist of the 21st century, Swift has created waves with every release of her career—especially over the past decade. Starting the 2010s with Speak Now and ending with Lover gives listeners a full foray of Swift’s musical journey from country songstress to pop queen.

Whether it’s her confessional lyrics that pull on the heartstrings of anyone, her bombastic pop bangers one can’t help but dance along to or simply her influence in terms of public image, Swift has dominated the music industry and broken boundaries for female musicians.

Frank Ocean
Though Frank Ocean only has two studio albums and a handful of singles released throughout the 2010s, his impact on R&B has been monumental.

Blending innovative notions with reflective lyrics and experimental production, Ocean first created somewhat of a cult following and has since become a household name in music. His first studio effort channel ORANGE garnered Ocean his first Grammy Award, and his second release Blonde sees the R&B artist dive further into his own idiosyncrasies.

Looking at Ocean’s discography and the few singles that hint at future music, it can already be argued that it’ll influence R&B artists to come.

Kacey Musgraves
Making moves for country music since her debut, Same Trailer Different Park, in 2013, Kacey Musgraves is one of the premiere female country stars of the 2010s. Racking in Grammy Awards since her start, Musgraves has impacted country with each of her albums in different ways.

Her most recent release, Golden Hour, sees Musgraves take a bigger step toward disco-pop nuances, and it’s arguably one of the best albums of 2018. Seen as progressive in the usual conservative genre of country, Musgraves provides the genre with a much needed kick that doesn’t fall into its stereotypes.

While Musgraves has openly taken influence from female country greats like Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Lee Ann Womack, Loretta Lynn and more, Musgraves is sure to be an influential artist for any future artists.

To include James Blake and exclude Kendrick Lamar is total BS but at least Gaga is there

Every Super Bowl Half-Time Show This Decade, Ranked

Most people watch the Super Bowl for three things: football, hilarious commercials, and the Half-Time show. These are the best shows of the decade.

BY REBECCA KNAUSS
DEC 07, 2019

This current decade is coming to a close as we enter into a new era of adventure. The Super Bowl is one of those events that will go down in history year after year, although, some are more memorable than others. Teams may battle for a victory, but the halftime show is something that most viewers never forget.

We have compiled a ranking of the halftime shows from the past decade, and some of them blew the competition away. They were outstanding as they called upon other singers, and utilized the space they were given to their advantage. Keep reading to learn about the ranking of every Super Bowl half-time show this decade!

....

1, 2017: Lady Gaga


Lady Gaga managed to make it to the top of our list due to her singularity on the stage combined with an epic performance. Fans weren't quite sure what to expect based on her history to wear insane outfits, but she delivered a perfect performance as herself.

The wire dive was subpar, but fans quickly forgot it once the real performance began. She danced to her best songs and then slowed it all down by playing on her piano. Gaga came out to give fans a show they would enjoy without pulling out all the stops that tend to end in disaster. It was solid and true, and America loved every aspect of it, which is why it sits at the top of our ranking.

10 moments that defined pop music in the 2010s

From Adele at the Brits to Lady Gaga as a motorcycle, the 2010s have been a transformative and divisive time for pop music.

As the old adage sort of goes: “pop don’t stop”. Not a week goes by where it’s not shape-shifting or absorbing the latest trends, evolving into a slightly different beast by the time another month rolls around. One minute you’ve got the biggest song on the planet and the next you’re applying for a reality TV show. One week you’re crashing into the Top 10 and the next week streaming kicks in and you’ll be lucky to peak at Number 38. So imagine what can happen over the space of an entire decade, i.e. ten bloody years! A lot, basically.

Below are ten key moments that best represent the significant changes pop has made since 1st January 2010.

....

3. Lady Gaga becomes a motorbike and goes too far (2011)

Lady Gaga started the decade at Number One in the UK with “Bad Romance”, boosted by a performance of the evergreen banger during the peak-era X Factor live shows (ugh, remember them?) while sat on a toilet at the end of a massive bath. It was as ridiculous as it was brilliant. She was untouchable, basically.

As the New Boring's rot set in, however, that ridiculousness calcified into exhausting, and critics, myself included, bemoaned her outlandishness as being “too much”. By the time she unveiled Born This Way's album cover -- her head crudely welded onto the front of a motorbike -- everyone seemed to have forgotten that pop was supposed to be ludicrous, and that popstars were meant to do silly things like imagine themselves as a Harley-Davidson. During the campaign for Artpop she built herself a flying dress to whizz around an “Artrave” to launch the album, but by that point everyone was too busy rolling their eyes to notice. Unfortunately, the joke was on us when she pivoted to jazz in 2014 and then country for 2016's Joanne, the New Boring claiming its latest, and most unexpected, victim.

Born This Way was a massive era - it just didn't match the dizzying heights of TF(M) and so people will forever see it as an under-performance, unjustifiably though.
