OK, let's narrow it down. I agree the 20th Century is just too big but with 23 years to choose from I think we can get somewhere
Rules - Must have been a genuine pop-song that had some notoriety. Your niche indy band won't cut it.
Go!

Continuing on from the other thread then according to my playlist it is Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

My actual vote would be something more obscure, but a few suggestions (not saying I endorse any of them!)
Outkast - Hey Ya
Daft Punk - Get Lucky (I hate this song but it is very popular!)
Kylie - Can't Get You Out Of My Head
Rihanna - Umbrella/We Found Love
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Nicky Minaj - Super Bass
Amy Winehouse -Rehab/Back to Black0 -

I do particularly enjoy the video of Umbrella.0

Using the playlist system it would be Sound of Silence by Disturbed but I wouldn't class that as pop so it is then Human by Rag n Bone Man. There's not much 21st century stuff on there at all though.0

If Rihanna had a thing for middle aged Englishmen I’d be sorted.
I still await her call.
I am certain as I can be, we have almost nothing in common. But still…0 -

Something tells me that if any of us did ever receive a call from Rihanna, we would happily put a lack of shared interests to one side...0 -
M.I.A – Paper Planes
Lorde – Royals (or Green Light)
The Weekend – Blinding Lights

The views of these songs.
3.3 billion!
It's a shame some of the classics don't get rediscovered and get close in views.
...The latest and greatest..0 -
Spin (how retro) a couple in here
Fxxk You ~ CeeLo Green. Not the radio edit version
Not Fair ~ Lily Allen0 -

A lot depends what you count as pop. I noticed this under 'More Videos' when I pause the Foster the People video. I wouldn't call it pop, but some would, so I'll add it to the mix. It's a great song.

A bleed-over from the 20thC thread, and though I don't think this will in the top ten, this is a fantastic song. If you're interested, it's got five beats per par, if you're confused by the groove. Fantastic musicianship, and I think Sting is up there with the greats.

On the off chance that it has escaped your notice try his Bring On The Night.briantrumpet said:A bleed-over from the 20thC thread, and though I don't think this will in the top ten, this is a fantastic song.

It's escaped my notice, thanks. A quick sample before bed suggests I've been missing out, and reinforces my view of him as a genuinely interesting and accomplished musician, who's at home in quite a wide range of idioms.2 -

A Renaissance man.
Yes, I love these, not least as it upsets people who think that there is only one way to sing 'classical' music. Though I think it would be hard to describe as 'pop'. sadly.0 -
No but it is Sting. Just spotted you referenced this on the 20th C thread yesterday, Brian the Trumpet. 😁
Just as you alluded it is not only not pop, but not classical either.
