What are the most pan-decade songs for each decade? Meaning that it can be a hit anywhere throughout the decade:
Most pan-1960s song: Sugar, Sugar
Most pan-1970s song: Shaft Theme
Most pan-1980s song: Hungry Like The Wolf
Most pan-1990s song: This Is How We Do It
Most pan-2000s song: How You Remind Me
Most pan-2010s song: Someone Like You

Pan-decade? Sounds a bit weird, but I'll take a crack at it.
One Pan-2010s song will definitely be "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit. The production of that song is so clean and easy to listen to. The electronic production isn't that far off with the EDM-remnant synthpop of the late 2010s.

I don't think "Sugar, Sugar" would have worked that well in the early 1960s since it has a distinctive keyboard line and use of harmonies that was fairly common in late 1960s pop rock but very uncommon in early 1960s rock 'n' roll.

Pan-1960s: Wouldn't It Be Nice (Beach Boys, 1966)
This song is a psychedelic hit from the Beach Boys'Pet Sounds album, and was arguably the most influential album which paved the way for the psychedelic movement in the late '60s. However, the doo-wop vocals within this track are highly reminiscent of this bands early works during their "fun in the sun" days, which was at the tail-end of the "Malt Shop Era" (1958-1963).

This was released in 1999 and I could see this being a hit in literally any year of the 90s as it is, from ‘90 to ‘99

What do you think is the most pan-60s song? Sorry for the late response, but this is quite hard since music changed so much between 1960 and 1969. So I dunno, maybe Del Shannon's "Runaway"? It sounds quite ahead of its time, and with some percussion changes I could possibly see it as a bubblegum hit in the late 60s. The claviolin line even reminds me of some psychedelic music.

Ava Max's sweet but a psycho could have been a hit in any year of the 2010s
Also a bunch of kpop songs, specially blackpink songs because they sound straight out of 2009-2011

Not sure if it's THE most pan-80s song, but I would say this is very pan-80s.
It came out in 1981, but I could DEFINITELY see this being a big song in 1989. One of the first hair metal ballads.

A lot of other songs in the genre could've been big at any point in the decade. Like Second Chance by Shinedown, which was one of the last big hard rock songs, I think could definitely pass as early 00s. Many of Nickelback's other hits, like "Photograph" also come off as very pan-2000s to me. The other variety of music that stands out as pan-2000s to me is basically that brand of post-britpop/piano rock that was big back then. A song like "How to Save a Life" or "Never Say Never" (THE FRAY SONG) for example, I feel could've been big at any point in the 2000s.
