Bruno Mars’s ‘Uptown Funk’ Named the #2 Song of the Century

Billboard recently released a list of the most popular songs of the last 25 years. Although I expected “Uptown Funk” to make the list, I was quite surprised to see that the number one spot went to—drumroll, please— The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.” The song was released in February 2020 (right before the COVID-19 pandemic) and immediately went viral on TikTok.

“The track reigns thanks to a record 57-week run in the Hot 100’s top 10 from February 2020 through April 2021, including four weeks at No. 1,” Billboard shared. “It also logged a record, and staggering, 86 weeks in the chart’s top 40. In November 2021, ‘Blinding Lights’ [was] crowned Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Hot 100 Songs chart, dating to the weekly list’s August 1958 start.”
