Cada ano traz consigo uma trilha sonora que reflete o espírito da época. De sucessos no rádio às playlists de streaming, as músicas mais tocadas revelam mudanças de gosto, avanços tecnológicos e transformações culturais ao longo de mais de sete décadas.
Das vitrolas ao streaming
Nos anos 50, nomes como Nat King Cole, Celly Campello e Bill Haley marcaram gerações e definiram tendências. Já as décadas de 60 e 70 consolidaram ícones como The Beatles, Roberto Carlos, Aretha Franklin e Bee Gees, que atravessaram fronteiras e influenciaram estilos.
Com a chegada da MTV nos anos 80 e a popularização dos CDs, artistas como Madonna, George Michael e Michael Jackson dominaram as paradas. Nos anos 2000, o pop, o hip-hop e o R&B ganharam protagonismo com Beyoncé, Usher, Rihanna e Mariah Carey.
A partir de 2010, o streaming transformou o consumo musical, abrindo espaço para fenômenos como Drake, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles e, mais recentemente, Sabrina Carpenter, que fechou 2024 no topo global.
