Pandora's "Top Thumb Hundred" of 2019 and the decade
Pandora have published their annual “Top Thumb Hundred” list for 2019, which consists of the top 20 most thumbed-up songs of the year, and they also published one for the entire decade.
It may not surprise you to learn that Lil Nas X‘s “Old Town Road” was the most thumbed-up song of 2019, with J. Cole‘s “Middle Child,” Ariana Grande‘s “7 rings,” Post Malone‘s “Wow,” and more not far behind.
The most thumbed-up song of the entire decade was The Weeknd‘s “Earned It” (weird?), with songs by Adele, Wiz Khalifa, Drake, Ed Sheeran, and more trailing behind. Most of the list is super mainstream stuff, but M83‘s “Midnight City” made it too.
Pandora also has an event with Halsey, who will perform for the final installment of the Pandora Live concert series of 2019 at Avant Gardner’s Great Hall in Brooklyn on Tuesday (12/10), and the show will stream live in Times Square as part of a silent disco. You can join the waitlist for the free event.
Also, today U2 announced that they’re teaming with SiriusXmM and Pandora to launch U2X RADIO in 2020.
