For many of us, 2015 feels like just a few years ago. But the reality is, we are now a full DECADE away from the midpoint of the 2010s. You know what that means: time for a potent hit of nostalgia, arguably more comforting than ever in these unprecedented times. Thankfully, 2015 was loaded with incredible music, including career-defining singles for more than one pop-music superstar, some strong debuts by new and fresh voices, and some totally unexpected bangers. So join us as we go back to a slightly simpler time as the Great Pop Culture Debate determines the Best Song of 2015.
