MUSIC ON THE 2010'S
- THE RETURN OF THE POP DEITY: The past decade has seen the rise of a new pop aristocracy. If one artist towered above the rest it was arguably Lady Gaga, who rose from mere pop star to global multimedia superstar. But she wasn’t the only one: a handful of megastars have ruled the pop landscape throughout the 2010s, the global megastar seemed to be a dying breed ten years ago; now things are different. There hasn’t been such an obvious class of pop deities since the 80s heyday of Michael, Madonna and Prince. Vertical Divider
-THE RISE OF STREAMING: One thing that definitely changed music in the 2010s music is the way fans consumed it. In 2010 you were probably still debating whether to throw your CDs out after ripping the music to iTunes. Spotify was quietly introduced as a streaming platform in 2011, and streaming revenue eventually overtook physical sales in 2017. At the moment, paid streaming services (including Spotify, Apple Music and others) account for a whopping 80 per cent of the music industry’s revenue.

-THE HIP-HOP'S DOMINATION: Nearly 40 years since the dawn of hip-hop, the 2010s was finally the decade when rap outsold rock music. The real shocker, however, is that it took so long for this to happen. Hip-hop didn’t overtake rock in sales at the end of the 80s – when everyone you knew had to own a copy of NWA’s Straight Outta Compton and Public Enemy’s Fear Of A Black Planet albums – nor in the early 00s, when Jay-Z, Nas and Eminem rose to become rap royalty. Instead, the Nielsen year-end report said that the great upheaval finally happened in 2017, when hip-hop accounted for eight of the year’s.
