"Why are we even making a music video when there are millions of them already out there?"that we feel most define the decade that was -- the songs that both shaped and reflected the music and culture of the period -- with help telling their stories from some of the artists, behind-the-scenes collaborators and industry insiders involved.

More than a thousand songs had hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 before “Harlem Shake,” but none had arrived there in quite the same way as the 2013 single by Brooklyn-based electronic producer. The song -- a frenetic trap banger built from buzzy synths and high hat -- debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 on March 2, 2013, the same week Billboard started factoring YouTube streaming data into the chart's methodology. Its viral nature kept it in this position for five weeks.

These millions of streams were generated by the countless DIY videos made in conjunction with the track and then uploaded to YouTube by fans worldwide.
