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!

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...
Lorde – Royals (or Green Light)
The Weekend – Blinding Lights
It's just a hill. Get over it.
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..
Fxxk You ~ CeeLo Green. Not the radio edit version
Not Fair ~ Lily Allen
But I'll also nominate The Show by Girls Aloud, Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus and Run Boy Run by Woodkid
Meh, there are just too many.
And this is an outstanding shout...

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.

Just as you alluded it is not only not pop, but not classical either.
