And I can observe, albeit in my own little bubble, that current pop songs that have that staying power tend to be those that sound "old"; think Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, and Bruno Mars with their 80s sounding hits (although Bruno Mars can sound anywhere from the 70s to early 2000s).
I personally like the effects of this trend, specifically the rediscovery of forgotten artists like the band Fanny[0], which arguably can be considered as the first major label all-female rock group. They already faded into obscurity but became popular again when one[1] of their old live recordings became viral.
