The 2010s redefined music with emotionally charged, genre-blending experimentation.

Among the countless tracks that shaped this era, one stands out for its raw vulnerability and shimmering synth-pop perfection. This song captures the aching loneliness of watching someone you love move on, all while dancing through heartbreak under neon lights. With its pulsating beat, soaring vocals, and a chorus that hits like a wave of both sorrow and empowerment, it became an anthem for anyone who's ever felt invisible in a crowd. This song didn’t just define a moment; it carved out its own legacy.

According to a list compiled by RollingStone, the most popular song of the 2010s was "Dancing On My Own" by Robyn.

Here's what RollingStone had to say about the most popular track of the 2010s:

"Robyn might as well have been singing to U.S. pop audiences in the 2000s, who mostly ignored her as she spent years refining her bright, fizzy synth-pop sound to perfection. Then came “Dancing on My Own,” the killer single that elevated her to something approaching voice-of-a-generation status among America’s burned-out youth. Written and produced with fellow Swedish ace Patrik Berger, it’s a relatable hit of heartbreak at the club, with a chaser of empowering uplift — exactly the disco anthem we needed in the long hangover of the subprime-mortgage crisis."
