No, the artists continued to make their marks even during this hard time. Though the concerts were canceled, live streaming became popular while listeners sought solace in songs from their favorite artists. The Billboard top 100 songs of 2020 captured this time like the top 100 songs of 2010 captured the essence of the 20s financial crisis.

20s songs offered unprecedented musical innovation marked by resilience, introspection, and celebration despite adversity. Among the Billboard Top 100 2020 we listened to the music that went from TikTok viral to introspective ballads. Besides, this era also gave us some protest anthems followed by creativity, and adaptability in the rapidly changing remote scenario.  But no matter what we have got a significant number of hits from influential artists across the world.

Top Artists of 2020: A Diverse Lineup of Hitmakers

The Billboard Top 100 songs of 2020 are a mix of master artists with both rising stars and established icons. Among the top 100 hits of 2020, The Weeknd smashed the chart with its standout performance “Blinding Lights”. Its retro-inspired production and soul-grabbing melody captured the spirit of nostalgia of the challenging era and set the record for a long time.  Post Malone and Roddy Ricch’s songs came the second and third spot on the list of 100 best songs of 2020.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage” made the list with the help of TikTok. It is an empowering song that won hearts for its smooth delivery and powerful singing. Her unapologetic collaboration with Cardi B also made waves in the music industry. Meanwhile, the Korean boy band, BTS, created a global phenomenon with their electrifying song “Dynamite”. It was their first fully English-language single that broke streaming records.

Stars like Dua Lipa had a great year. She gave several hit songs in 2020 with 2 two of them on the Top 100 Songs of 2020 list. Her “Don’t Start Now” and “Break My Heart” made waves in the hearts of music lovers around the world.

Top Trends Among the Top 100 Songs of 2020

The Billboard Top 100 songs of 2020 reflected several key trends and the most trending is the challenge of COVID-19. Because of this artists tried to bring the resurgence of nostalgia to provide comfort to the struggling people. Songs like “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd and “Future Nostalgia” album by Dua Lipa complement the time deeply. The artist’s songs drew their inspiration heavily from the synth-pop and disco eras and blended contemporary production with a touch of familiarity.

TikTok during the pandemic became a rage influencing artists like no other social media outlet. The social media platform became a driving force in shaping popular music giving the world viral dances and sounds. After gaining traction on TikTok, Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat’s made it to the top chart of 2020. Not only that, TikTok brought lesser-known artists like BENEE (“Supalonely”) into the mainstream and influenced it to the top chart.

Like the top 100 songs of 2010 , the collaboration continued to thrive in 2020. Artists joined forces across genres and created massive hits. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s collaboration for “WAP” is a good example. Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s “Stuck with U” is another collaboration that proves the power of joint force. Additionally, protest music and socially conscious themes made big among the Billboard Top 100 2020.
