PEAK MUSIC 2010

 2010

Note included in the hits are Collaborations from now on - (which has been increasing since the late 1990s) It appears that collaboration usually make up 40-50 percent of the hits in todays music

 – I have run out of written reference, this is part memory, part you tube memory and part internet sleuthing to come up with the top 5. Since these artists are recent (15 years forward is recent?) my post are going to be more bare bones.

Rhianna – She had 4 number one hits including number one "Rude Boy"

Katy Perry – She had 3 number one hits including "California Girls" – which had the famous line – will male your popsicle melt

Keisha – She had 4 top ten hits including "Tik Tok" (which actually premiere in late 2009)

Taylor Swift – Also  had 4 top ten hits including MINE

Taio Cruz – He had 2 top top 2 hits including "BREAK YOUR HEART

Geez it has been 15 years since Keisha burst on the scene.
