Has top 40 music gotten better in the last thirty years? This is the most scientific way possible to evaluate that.
#30 of 1985
Glenn Frey - You Belong to the City
#30 of 1995
Sheryl Crow - Strong Enough
#30 of 2005
Bow Wow (feat. Ciara) - Like You
#30 of 2015
Drake - Hotline Bling

None of these songs are particularly good, so it's basically a battle of "which song is the least mediocre."
In order I'd go:
1: Sheryl Crow (Kind of whisper-y and boring but not actively bad)
2: Bow Wow ft. Ciara (Ciara's vocals are nice, but the song is nothing special)
3: Glenn Frey (Cheesy and stupid, but slightly entertaining)
4: Drake (Bad song, bad music video)

I strongly disagree as oppy all along tipped the scales by not including 1965! |

I don't think I'd heard 'Hotline Bling' before. It's not very good, is it? Those video vixens deserve a better song. Once we know that he's being called, is it really so important he emphasize he was being called on his cell phone?

I voted for Glenn Frey because that song was in that Married ... With Children episode where Al and Steve had to find Marcy's barbie doll.

Yeah, none of these are any good, but Sheryl Crow is the least bad, and the Glenn Frey song is kitschy enough that I can enjoy it as a song that is clearly, clearly from the '80s. And while I don't like Hotline Bling, that Bow Wow song is much, much worse. That dude cannot rap.
