Electropop and dance are continuing to be the most popular sound in pop music. LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem is notable, not only for the song's chart performance, but for its production and songwriting style. We're starting to see the rise of the wordless chorus, which will come to define a lot of pop music in the 2010's. It makes sense that this style would take off with the rise of EDM in the mainstream (especially festival EDM), but we'll also start to see this shift towards wordless choruses in pop and rock. If you're familiar with the "Millennial Whoop", you may be able to recognize where this is going.

But despite the rise of electronic music, it's still interesting that there are multiple songs on this poll with retro influences. With Adele's Rolling in the Deep, CeeLo Green's Fuck/Forget You, and maybe some elements of Maroon 5's Moves like Jagger. We'll continue to see this influence in later years (especially when more songs start using brass instruments in their production), but it will pale in comparison to the electronic sound.
