No, but I couldn't tell you one song from 2015-2018 that I think people would find memorable in 10 years anyway

Hello

Blank Space (was this late 14 or early 15)

LWYMMD (it’s awful but everyone knows it)

Humble

I’m too tired to think of others lol

Viral songs will not be remembered as iconic, it will be remembered as viral fun songs, and some will try not to even remember it cos it is embarassing, ask Asereje or Macarena for example.

Why do we even start threads like these.

All it does is start fights  there’s no real way to measure icon-status so just move on.

I think yes.

Its already considered iconic by some.

I mean what is there to reference? It will be remembered because everyone heard it a million times, but it’s not like it will have references in pop media tbh imo

Like, I can't with some of you acting like the world is confined to your prism and your interests. the song was huge for a reason

Logic doesn’t get through to twinks unless you’re talking about a female pop star

Diff btw viral songs and iconic songs.

It'll be just as annoying as it is today 

[MaryJaneHolland 77,348]

Yes, just like Macarena and Gasolina are still remembered.

C'mon, you can't deny the phenomenon that this song was, people here are just jealous and bitter

apparently any song that's a #1 hit is iconic  

the chainsmokers are suddenly icons

No, but a song which stays there for 16 weeks (aka all time record), certainly is...

Y'all really think that Bad Romance was bigger than Tik Tok. That's cute. 

Poker Face had a bigger impact than both those songs, but Tik Tok was bigger than BR. 

Despacito will be iconic in ten years most definitely.

Maybe it will cuz I can picture it being one of those songs that get played for a long time at parties

[Zaskar 3,352]

It will be remembered....

Spoiler

... at least in Puerto Rico.
