Mid 2010s Nostalgia

“Mid 2010s Nostalgia” is a throwback to the pop, dance, and chart-topping anthems that defined the middle of the decade. With hits like “Dark Horse” by Katy Perry, “Counting Stars” by OneRepublic, and “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj, this playlist brings together the sounds that were all over the radio, parties, and school dances between 2013 and 2016. It's a mix built on big hooks, EDM drops, and feel-good energy.

From Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s festival-ready “Outside” to feel-good bangers like “Happy” by Pharrell and “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, the playlist captures a moment where pop, R&B, and rap overlapped on the mainstream stage. With tracks in English and a few French entries from artists like Marie-Mai and Stromae, there’s an international flair weaving through the nostalgia. Whether you were driving with the windows down or scrolling through early Instagram feeds, these songs were the backdrop.
