Only 3 songs have spent 10 or more weeks at #1 in the US since 2010, but which song is the BEST of the bunch?
We Found Love
(10 weeks @ #1; 23 weeks in the top ten; 41 weeks on the Hot 100) *NOTE: We Found Love's reign at #1 was without the aid of streaming being factored into the Hot 100*

Blurred Lines
(12 weeks @ #1; 21 weeks in the top ten; 48 weeks on the Hot 100)

Happy
(10 weeks @ #1; 22 weeks in the top ten; 47 weeks on the Hot 100)
EDIT: Blurred Lines still sounds fresh to me. The others sound old. Happy is great and so is WFL. We certainly could've had worse 10 week #1's like We Belong Together.
WFL is an anthem with a flawless breakdown, BL is a cute bop that people did the most with when it surpassed their faves and Happy is a cute song that needed a REAL vocalist to truly shine, not Pharrell's whispering.
No matter how much better the guy's songs are and how much more the general public likes them. The female artist will always win regardless on ATRL. You know what you're getting.....
