That was a great decade in my opinion for music .with some really great musicians and amazing releases . Taylor swift is not the artist of the decade nor the artist if the year .she is probably the product of the decade .she is selling records for 13 years old kids and stream her music like 10000 times a day .that not makes her artist .let's not forget we got this decade Frank ocean we got Lana del Rey and so many more . These are artists ,Michael Jackson ,Madonna ,Whitney ,Janet ,Beyonce ,they deserve to be in top of the list not a teenager star ego make music for kids parties .
