They don’t write ’em like they used to? Well, maybe not as often as they used to — look at the top of the Billboard charts in the 20th century and chances are you won’t find nearly as high a percentage of love songs as you might have decades earlier. Where once the love song essentially marked a sort of default mode for pop music, today top 40 encompasses more subjects than ever: Identity, sexuality, personal struggles, not talking about Bruno, and countless others.
Still, look at the biggest names in music of the 21st century: Drake, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Adele, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran. They all have multiple unforgettable love songs to their credit, earning the artists some of their biggest and most-beloved hits. The form and content may have evolved since the days of The Ronettes and The Beach Boys — hell, since the days of Boyz II Men and Celine Dion — but it remains an essential and inextricable part of the pop experience, and likely will for as long as popular music exists.
Here are our staff’s picks for the 50 greatest love songs of the 21st century — mostly keeping to the more aww-worthy end of the spectrum to keep the energy right for this Valentine’s Day. (If you’re not feeling particularly in the mood for love today, though, we’ve got you covered there too.)
