A recent study by 24/7 Tempo and the Chicago Tribune ranked the top three most popular bands of the past decade.

A number of factors were used to determine a bands success. Things like: the band’s chart performance, album certification, and single sales. Plus their online monthly listeners on music platforms such as Spotify, as well as the number of views their Wikipedia pages had registered from a time-frame of August 2011 until September 2021.

At the #3 spot was Chainsmokers. Coming in at #2 on the list was Imagine Dragons. And taking the top spot, One Direction was ranked #1.
