How many HIT songs that came out the past 5-6 years will still get play 25 years from now?

I looked at the Billboard Year-End Charts from 2010 to present.
I think it's these:

"Baby"
"Born This Way" (YOU know why...)
"Black & Yellow" (at least at sporting events for black and yellow teams)
"Call Me Maybe"
"Party Rock Anthem" (another arena banger)
"Gangam Style" (I still don't know how this happened)
"Blurred Lines"
"Roar" (this the kinda cut they gonna put as background music in trailers for chick flicks.)
"Started From The Bottom"
"22"
"I'm Different" (What? People are different.)
"Turn Down For What?" (I hear people say this all the time)
"The Man"
"Cheerleader"
"Post To Be" (YOU know why...)
"CoCo" (watch.)

Off top, I thought cupid shuffle, but that was '07.

I wholeheartedly feel Kanye's "all of the lights" will re emerge as a song for our generation.

Say what you will, but

1. It describes the late 2000's to now so well. The social media generation. It's only gotten more relevant as time has gone by.

2. It slaps.

3. He gave credits to everybody that touched it, so all their fan bases will feel apart of that moment.


Watch.

damn, music as a whole is kinda sad. Was looking back at the billboard charts over the years. Even back in the early 2000s there was a lot of competition on the charts at the same time. The 80s and 90s were crazy as well. Tons of classics on the charts at the same time. Now, I look back at the last 5 years and I feel like it will be Gaga's run, Katy Perry's run, Taylor Swift's run, Rihanna's run and Adele's run that are most remembered. Ed Sheeran will get run and maybe Swimming Pools and Happy. Blurred Lines. Maybe a few Beyonce songs. Outside of that, trying to look outside of my own box, those will likely be the remember hits from the last 5 years.

It look like he shot that shyt himself. That is awful.

But that first jacket he had on was cold as hell. That hat, too.

"Baby"
"Born This Way" (YOU know why...)
"Black & Yellow" (at least at sporting events for black and yellow teams)

"The Man"

"CoCo" (watch.)

I think to find a song that will get play a long time from now you have to open up the list to further down the billboard charts.

I looked up "The Choice Is Yours" by Black Sheep a few weeks ago and that only reached like number 52. That song is timeless to me.
