This article describes trends in popular music in the 2020s.
The beginning of the 2020s decade was a difficult time for the music industry, as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in widespread concert cancellations due to risks of mass infection. However, by mid-2023, the music industry recorded its highest annual revenue of all time ($8.4 billion), propelled by exponential growth of streaming subscriptions. Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Billie Eillish, Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo, the Weeknd, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter, Morgan Wallen and Doja Cat have been some of the leading music artists of the 2020s so far.
