Houdini 103 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 From Taylor to Drizzy to Gaga, we think these 10 artists made the biggest impact on popular music in the 2010s' first five years. The end of 2014 also meant the end of the first half of the 2010s, a decade that has been defined by larger-than-life personalities in the world of popular music. Although thousands of artists composed the DNA of the decade's pop culture, these 10 made the loudest statements, and established themselves as inescapable over the course of the past five years. 7. Lady Gaga If the first half of the 2010s was split in half itself, the first quarter of the decade was undoubtedly defined by the arresting pull of Lady Gaga. The provocative pop superstar rode the momentum of The Fame and The Fame Monster into the new decade and continued dropping wildly imaginative music, visuals, looks and stage shows, all while confidently catering to a devastatingly passionate fan army. Even those who aren't Little Monsters have to appreciate the classic-rock maneuvers of Born This Way, the electro-buzz of ARTPOP's best bangers and the sophisticated vocal stylings of her Tony Bennett duets album, Cheek to Cheek. Gaga can go in any number of directions with her next project, but if there's one thing she proved in the first half of the 2010s, it's to expect the unexpected. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6443462/best-artists-of-2010s-so-far 01.
