A thread to share and discuss "guitar-rock" songs (in other words, non-indie songs) which have achieved Top-50 success in the 2010s. What are some "non-indie" rock songs which have charted within the Top-50 in the 2010s? I was just curious to note if there is some sort of musical trend among non-indie songs of this decade. Here are a few that I can think of:
I'm not sure how popular this song was in the United States, but the Arctic Monkeys had a minor worldwide hit in the form of "Do I Wanna Know" back in 2013. It peaked at #11 in the UK, #14 in Ireland, #37 in Australia and it also peaked within the Top-50 in several European countries. The Arctic Monkeys actually had another successful single the following year ("Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?") and it peaked at #8 in the UK and #56 in Australia.
This is the most recent example of a "guitar-rock" song to achieve Top-50 success. I still can't believe Harry Styles released a song in this manner. He has earned my respect, even though I was never a fan of One Direction. It's great that it was very successful worldwide as well. "Sign of the Times" actually topped the charts here.
