The end of 2014 also meant the end of the first half of the 2010s, a decade thus far marked by fantastic popular music from sources expected (Beyonce, Usher and Lady Gaga kept delivering bangers) and unexpected (who saw the incredible rises of Carly Rae Jepsen and Miguel coming?). Although the past half-decade was brimming with memorable hits, these 20 defined the last five years the best, and will endure through the second half of the 2010s and beyond.

 

Check out what the Billboard.com staff chose as the 20 best singles of the 2010s so far:

 

20. Carly Rae Jepsen, "Call Me Maybe"

19. Arctic Monkeys, "Do I Wanna Know?"
18. Usher, "Climax"
17. Lady Antebellum, "Need You Now"
16. Britney Spears, "Til The World Ends"
15. Fun., "Some Nights"
14. Sia, "Chandelier"

13. Lady Gaga, "The Edge of Glory"

The title here is a misnomer. There's nothing "on the edge" about this track: like all of Lady Gaga's vital songs, it's fully committed, with lyrics that would fit the climactic scene of a war movie, an imperious beat, and synthesizers like battering rams. This song is also notable for its saxophone solo -- famously provided by the E Street Band's Clarence Clemons -- which predated 2014's explosion of sax hooks by multiple years.

 

12. Kacey Musgraves, "Follow Your Arrow"

11. Nicki Minaj feat. Ester Dean, "Super Bass"
10. Miguel, "Adorn"
9. Robyn, "Dancing On My Own
8. Beyoncé, "Countdown"
7. Drake feat. Majid Jordan, "Hold On, We're Goin' Home"
6. Miley Cyrus, "We Can't Stop"
5. Jay Z and Kanye West, "Ni--as in Paris"
4. Adele, "Rolling In the Deep"
3. Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams, "Get Lucky"
2. Katy Perry, "Teenage Dream"
1. Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris, "We Found Love"
