Music is Always there for Us
Music is always there for us in happy, sad, and difficult moments. We hear what our heart wants to hear because there are some feelings we can not express but music helps us to relate to them. music is not for our ears it is for our souls and in these difficult times of the global outbreak we must have a good playlist to survive.
The
previous decade will be known for the time that transformed how music was
consumed all around the world. At the beginning of the decade, MP3 formats were
all the rage but as soon as the decade progressed, huge leaps in technology has
brought us all in the time of streaming exclusives and music developed with it
too. There can’t really be a way to judge a song. Music does different things
for different people and everyone has their own choice and taste of music
genres to listen to. According to billboard, here are the top ten songs that
defined the decade.
