Akon, Beyonce, Fergie, and Justin Timberlake were some of the big names dropped frequently 10 years ago this month. The 2000s music scene was dominated by autotune and electrical instruments and internet platforms such as iTunes and YouTube were on the rise. Today, many of the big name artists from 10 years ago are still on our radar, but with some new faces like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and The Weeknd. 2007 provides a great example of music trends from the 2000s and while this decade isn't over yet, the popular music today shows styles from the early half of the decade as well as some up-and-coming fads.
