The Ballad of Sharknado
None is the correct answer. In 1968, you basically had the pop charts and country music. You had basically only AM radio playing the most popular songs. EVERYONE was exposed to the same songs, and their popularity came directly from that. Now, radio is either dead or so segmented that the audience of one type of music NEVER HEARS other genres, because of the internet and downloading, people are able to find and like very obscure bands & styles that would never get airtime on the radio in the first place, etc. Ask 75 people on the street what is the best current song and I bet 25-50 would have no idea, another 40 might pick 40 various songs, and *maybe* a small handful might pick the some song. If you did the same thing 50 years ago, a majority would prob say a song by the Beatles, or the actual song that was at the top of the charts....because they were all exposed to the same pool of songs.

Great point skylon69
The relevance of the song drives the OPs Q not the popularity. Songs of freedom and oppression, romantic love yearned for or lost, the songs of hopes and fears will always be germane to Q. no matter the platform that delivers them..
At first I dismissed the poster who answered with "Put It In Her Mouth' but a moments reflection brought me to conclude it will take far longer than 50 years to breed out that mindset.

Riptide
Vance Joy
Anything by the goddess Nicki Minaj
Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. That will be remembered around the world forever, because of its connection to sports.
Queen - WE are the champions is still huge for that same reason.

I guess I don't hate Springsteen as much as I thought I did. It helps that his scratchy, nails-on-chalkboard voice isn't singing the lyrics.
Rap/ hip hip isn’t even music, so you can’t call them “songs.” And it will continue to be a niche as it has been since 1977.
Answer: Most of the current songs suck. You will hear far more Led Zeppelin and The Who in 2068 than you will hear anything from 2018.
Anything from Carrie & Lowell. Anything by Sufjan actually.
