With that in mind, it’s probably not a coincidence that the only number one hit to use a key change during the 2010s is also one of the most iconic: Travis Scot

That can't be true, surely? Only one number one song with a key change in a whole decade? (I assume we're talking US charts?)
Crazy by Gnarls Barkely has some nice key changes but it only got to number 2 apparently.
- re 4y ago> Crazy by Gnarls Barkely Starts and ends in the same key. There's some minor<->major mode shifting over the course of the song, but the tonic remains the same.
- codeulike 4y agoAh I see, it does some unusual stuff with chords, I was hearing it as a key change https://flypaper.soundfly.com/produce/the-flurry-of-harmonic-surprises-in-gnarls-barkleys-crazy/ https://flypaper.soundfly.com/produce/the-flurry-of-harmonic...
- kevinwang 4y agoDo people not consider parallel key shifts to be key changes? (btw whoever invented the name "parallel key" for majors and minors with the same tonic did a terrible job)
- b450 4y agoI thought Beyonce's "Love on Top" might qualify. Pretty iconic use of key changes, but it apparently peaked at #20 on the hot 100.
