Music is Always there for Us

By -


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.


Somebody That I Used to Know – Gotye Ft Kimbra
Released in 2011, the Australian singer-songwriter Gotye was set to release this song but it somehow got leaked before and with a global mystery surrounding it, the song became viral like wildfire. Within three months of the song’s release, Gotye signed a recording contract with Universal label Republic. This song has over 1.3 Billion views on YouTube.

Old Town Road – Lil Nas Ft Billy Ray Cyrus
The story of Old Town Road is a wide-ranging one that spans several genres, continents and generations, but it begins and ends on the Internet. That’s where the artist born Montero Hill decided to be a rapper in the first place. It has almost a Billion views on YouTube.

Rolling in The Deep – Adele
Music hits were different in 2010 where a genre like British pop was not in for big numbers but an unexpected song to come out was a lead single called Rolling in the Deep by Adele. It was released in December 2010 and has more than 2 Billion views on YouTube.

Despacito – Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee Ft Justin Bieber
Latin culture has influenced a lot in 2010s and one of the greatest example of it is the 2017 released song Despacito featuring Justin Bieber which has a remarkable 5 Billion views on YouTube.

We Found Love – Rihanna Ft Calvin Harris
This was a collaboration between one of the most magnetic forces in contemporary pop music with the next big star in the EDM community. Rihanna has a huge fan following and her collaborating with Calvin Harris was huge news. This song has over 800 Million views on YouTube.

Girls Like You – Maroon Ft Cardi B
Maroon 5 and Cardi B’s unlikely collaboration quickly turned out to be one of the longest-lasting hits in recent memory, surprising many people, perhaps not least of all the musicians themselves, in the process. This song has over 2 Billion views on YouTube which pretty much was achieved in the first 10 months of its release.

Shape of You – Ed Sheeran
It’s the most-streamed track of 2017 and the most popular song ever on Spotify, having notched up 1.5 billion streams. It reached number one in the singles charts in 44 countries, as well as the official video racking up more than 3.2 billion views on Youtube.

Party Rock Anthem – LMFAO Ft Lauren Bennett & Goon Rock
The time was right for these neon-clad court jesters to bring their party energy to the masses; the result was the apex of the goon-pop movement, and one of the biggest hits of the entire decade gaining more than 1.7 Billion views on YouTube.

Uptown Funk! – Mark Ronson Ft Bruno Mars
After Mark Ronson collaborated with pop star Bruno Mars on the latter’s sophomore album Unorthodox Jukebox in 2012, the super producer recruited Mars for his own LP, 2015’s Uptown Special. Little did they know, a simple jam session would turn into one of the decade’s defining pop hits, Uptown Funk. The boogieing, horn-dripped smash arrived in November 2014. This song has gained 3.7 Billion views on YouTube worldwide.

Closer – The Chainsmokers Ft Halsey
No EDM track this decade was as inescapable as Closer, The Chainsmokers’ future bass ear-worm. The song stamped the pop consciousness for 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in late 2016, and earned a Diamond certification from the RIAA in 2018. It has over 300 Million views on YouTube.

(2 mins read) A few weeks ago, one of the most famous religious scholar, Maulana Tariq Jamil was again in news. During the PM Imran Khan’s live telethon on the national television, he had held women of Pakistan responsible for the corona-virus pandemic. This invited a great wave of outrage a cross Pakistan.  It’s not the first time that Tariq Jamil(or any orthodox religious leader for that matter) has blamed the women for bringing in a disaster.
