The best part of these videos is Anthony passionately recreating the songs with his angelic voice.

Say it Right is absolutely crack. One of the best pop hits of that whole decade tbh

Finally, after 16 years later, I can enjoy an Akon track. Thanks, Melon.

Anthony sort of liking Hey There Delilah is big news for me. I fully expected him to annihilate and roast that song lol

nah b umbrella is S tier for sure. The groove on it, the crazy intro, the jay z verse introducing rihanna, the massive hook, the epic feeling of it. I get if you don't like it but that song really changed rihanna's career, it was probably the most important moment of her career.

The Gwen Stefani woo woo song and Rihanna's umbrella feel like they were way further apart. I would have guessed Gwen was from 2005 and Rihanna was like 2011.

If this is the energy for 2007 I can't wait for 2009 tbh Edit: Honestly I hadnt seen the billboard top ten, I was more basing this opinion off of how much of a legendary, timeline shaking year 2009 was for pop culture in general (lady gaga mtv performance, Kanye and Taylor, Michael jackson etc) but ALSO please there's so many outrageous bangers JUST outside of the top ten (lady gaga, Britney spears etc) that it's actually a bit diabolical

Absolute nostalgia for me. 2007 was when I started paying more attention to radio hits and a lot of the ones from 2007 really stuck with me and still do over the years.

Melon enjoying the Plain White T's is a plot twist I did not see coming

The fact that every single one of these tracks has vocal defenders shows how much of a juggernaut this year was.

Say It Right is an S & Melon knows it

2007 contained lot of top S songs like All My Friends, Paper Planes, Umbrella, Say it Right, Reckoner, and the song that introduced me to Arctic Monkeys, Brianstorm.

So glad that Say it Right is getting its love here. One of my all time favorite pop songs. Been trying to explain what makes it so good whenever it comes on for 15 years now haha.

'Say It Right' is such a good song

umbrella in the b tier is insane that’s literally one of the best, most beloved, catchiest & most memorable pop hooks of all time, released 16 years ago and still receives over 1m daily streams on spotify like

I think it's safe to say 2007 is the most agreeable year of the century to so far. Like it doesn't have the absolute cream of the crop songs, although it has some great ones, but it does not have hardly any songs that you really want to skip. Pretty much every song is worth a play or a listen. That's pretty rare.

07 was a banger year for films too. No country, there will be blood, jesse james, divng bell and thebutterfly. There was something in the air

I’m glad you brought up how Rihanna pronounces umbrella cause before I knew the name of the song I always thought she was saying “under my arm forever”

People are gonna have a field day with him saying he's more into S&M.

Real shit though. You cannot deny one of the sickest burns put to music on Irreplaceable though. I could have another you in a minute, Matter fact he'll be here in a minute

I had to pause the video when Before He Cheats came up because I was so scared Melon had a hot take on this song. I am so glad he didn’t. Dawg you cannot overstate how hard that song hit at the time, immediately after, and to this day still. Unbelievable crossover appeal. I am an inner city black dude, hip hop was my first love, but I have sang that song at the top of my lungs with actual criminals. The easiest S I have ever seen. If that shit got an A I would’ve thrown my phone bruh.

Ah man what a year. I remember This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race being played everywhere as well

oh god thank you for facilitating me having this special moment with hey there delilah this morning. its been a long time and sometimes you just need to quietly and sadly sing some nice lyrics . what an excellent year for pop

1 thing I wish you would do more in these videos is talk a bit about your history with music in that particular year. You did do that this video at the start and it was quite interesting.

Enjoyed that year especially because of LCD‘s Sound of Silver and Arcade Fire‘s Neon bible 🔥

Very scared for next week. This is where Ryan Tedder and his band of misfits in OneRepublic made their year-end debut on Billboard, and I hope that Melon isn't too harsh on them

I graduated from high school in 2007. They played "Buy U A Drank" twice at my senior prom. Fitting tribute to alcoholic and/or bad parents, cool older siblings, and creepy-loser older boyfriends. You know, since none of us were of legal age to purchase alcohol in the good ol' US of A. Also of questionable age to be in the bed like oooh, oooh. But c'est la vie.

I worked at a Kohls dept store on high school during this era and every one of these songs played all day long 😅 and then they switched over to '80s new wave and post punk the next year so...

Anthony’s impressions of PWT and James Blunt are killing me 😂😂

You're telling me that the song "Woohoo Yeehoo" by Gwen Stefani was actually called "The Sweet Escape" this whole time? I don't believe you.

Nelly Furtado performed over New Years at a music festival went to, I almost didn't see her because of an overlap, but so fucking glad I went to see her, absolutely killed it

I wish he would’ve streamed him reacting to all of these billboard songs for the tierlists. I’d love to see his first reaction after not listening to a song for long.

Thanks Fantano! Had completely forgotten about Say It Right 🙏

2007 was seriously the best year for music in my lifetime.

2006/2007 were goated years for top 40 🔥🔥🔥

Irreplaceable is an A tier song idc

Finally someone gave love to Before He Cheats and Say It Right. Those are childhood bops.

welcome to the black parade was number 1 in the uk that year, that track would be an easy s tier if it counted for this list

Pain White T’s are going to be headlining my college’s music festival this spring and low key I’m kinda excited to see them even though I’ve never heard a single one of their songs outside of Hey There Delilah. Also was not expecting melon to enjoy a Carrie Underwood song that much, though it does go hard.

how do you feel about DOGTOOTH and the possible deluxe album that's coming out friday?

PLEASE DO a 90s tier list next!!

I was so worried what he would say about Say It Right after trashing Promiscuous but he came thru!

I've known for a while that 2007 has some fantastic Indie Rock (Honestly I might say one of the best years for Indie Rock, Although 2004 is a pretty good contender too, And there's some great more recent Indie Music too, Not sure if it clusters into years as much), But I can't say I really knew any of the mainstream stuff (I think "Hey There Delilah" is the only of these I've heard in full before lol), But it's good to know it's pretty good too.

Umbrella is one of those songs that just randomly pops into my head and I feel the urge to start singing it

Hey Fantano, big fan here. However I should point out that I noticed a mistake in your video. It looks like you accidentally put Say It Right in the A-tier as opposed to the S-tier. So maybe a re-upload with that fix is necessary

fantano Thoughts on (any of) the following tracks melon? Singles Channel Tres, Barney Bones - Fashion Week bbno$, Connor Price - Not A Beanie J Balvin, Burna Boy - Rollercoaster Denzel Curry, Twelve'len - Lady Draco Maxo Kream, 03 Greedo - Buss Me A Script Kodak Black, Roddy Ricch, Internet Money - I Remember Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed IDK, Rich The Kid - 850 (We On Top) Busta Rhymes, Coi Leray, DJ Saige - Players (Remix) Curren$y, Hit-Boy - Tony Fontana III Tyler, the Creator - DOGTOOTH

God damn that woo goes high. Anthony has unlimited range

So many more hits from this year that wern’t included. We need an extended breakdown, Melon.

Cmon melon, umbrella a classic

Putting Glamorous, Buy U a Drank, and Potential Breakup Song in SSS tier is the right move Melon

Well, I work at NPR. We just had mass layoffs. You dodged a bullet, melon.

These are your best videos. So great.

More of an albums year for me, so many of my favorite albums ever came out in 2007 (especially in metal) but yeah, some great singles as well.

Great tier list ranking.

Like to see how on Paradise is Mine Michael Gira is taking inspiration from the production on Sweet Escape

It's worth noting, I think hey there Delilah was the last 'myspace' song

Glamorous: B Say It Right: A I Wanna Love You: B Hey There Delilah: A Before He Cheats: S Buy You A Drank: B Big Girls Don't Cry: C Sweet Escape: B Umbrella: A Irreplaceable: B

Melon in the Imperial Triumphant tee is taking me there

If I ever have to hear "Hey There Delilah" one more time in my life I'm gonna *REDACTED*

I forgot how crazy a year this was for music. Every song is a banger to this day

Hey There Delilah making B Tier is my Christmas, Birthday and Arbor Day all in one

2007 was another freaking banger of a year. There are so many great memories when I think of 07 there was Kanye's Graduation Album. And of course we can't forget about Fergie, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, Akon, T-Pain and of course early Rihanna and Beyonce hits. However in this time frame. I go back and listen to Say It Right, Fergie not so much. Big Girls Dont Cry was played quite heavily. Timbaland was in his bag making his own solo hits as well as JT & Nelly Furtado DAMN. Much love to Timbaland. Akon & T-Pain are both legends, because they not only make hits for themselves but can make hits for others so yeah their legends for sure. If I had to pick i would pick Rihanna over Beyonce. I love and respect Queen B. But Riri's music has meant more for me and my youth than Queen B.

Umbrella and Irreplaceable at the least is A Tier. Very least Finished the video. Fantano putting Say It Right over Umbrella and Irreplaceable is so hysterical. Sure they're not these two artists' best songs but they're leaps and bounds better than at best D TIER Say It Right. Still love ya Fantano ❤️

Whoa, Anthony was clearly in a great mood that day, because I found these tracks quite "okay" after all

Very interesting to see these just as Tom Breihan is covering the same period over at Stereogum on Number Ones. Who do trust on Fergie - Fantano or Breihan?

We no forget the disrespect to Promiscuos melon.

I want to say this is prob my fav series you have done 😂 I just loving going back to look at what was hot at the time and it’s also some fun nostalgic vibes tbh… But overall 2007 was a really solid year I kinda forgot some of those hits came from that year but yeah I was in the 7th grade and was a year I really got into different styles of music, my favs from that year for this specific list probably are say it right which is a straight up banger I love that track, but you a drank, and hey there Delilah will also always have a special place for me, before he cheats is also very good but the prior 3 songs I mentioned were songs I had constantly playing on my MP3 😂 but ya overall I don’t see any flat out misses 07 was good.

Say It Right and Before He Cheats are all time greats. Both songs have incredible choruses supported by incredible verses. I give the slight edge to Before He Cheats just because of Carrie's voice, but they are both phenomenal hits.

I can FEEL me driving around in my 2007 Scion tC watching this video

The guitar in hey there delilah is some ringo level genius picking. less is more melon

Not just in music. But in videogames as well. We got Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Halo 3, The Orange Box, Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3, Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy, Mass Effect, and so many more.

Has anyone made a playlist of all of the S’s he’s gave on this series?

I didn't expect you loving before he cheats as much as you did but damn you're right, it's so fantastic!

11:37 This was exactly my reaction at the exact time lmao

This year so fire

say it right is so good that I keep listening to it despite the horrible memories of high school I have associated

Dang, Brother @fantano. In a year of bangers, this video is it's own high level Banger. Great work!

Fear of a blank planet by porcupine tree also came out that year

2007 is irreplaceable as your I Felt Your Shape cover

THIS WAS MY YEAR

I really like this series :)

When were Time to Pretend and Kids charting? I thought it was 2007, maybe they just weren't big enough to make this list?

thanks for putting in a m0e tv clip i appreciate it

Though you may be overwhelmed, a storm raging in your ears, there is calm ahead. Life is more than just problems. Sometimes those problems are exactly what you need to happen so you can see the truth.

Thank god you loved Say It Right. Omg I feel seen

I love all the JID references. Melon is clearly a stan

hey there delilah was from 2007??? it feels like it was early 2000s in my memory, like 2003

did not know that about that akon song... also i hate how the plain white t's guy breathes through his teeth on "hey there delilah"

In the UK, school finishes at 16 so “Hey There Delilah, 2 more years and you’ll be done with school” took on a much darker tone there

Umbrella at B tier is criminal Anthony

bro placed umbrella higher than irreplaceable 😭 im sorry, i Love rih, but What

Верни мне мой 2007й, Дыня...

Hey, ants in my pants-tano, you never told us who the ludicrous rap feature was on Glamorous

putting irreplaceable on c tier is CRAZY

The country song wasn't heard over the radio over here in Europe. At least not that I can remember

it shouldn't come as a surprise that fantano likes hey there delilah. if i'm not mistaken, doesn't todd in the shadows also like that song? i remember him saying that it's one of the few songs he likes by white guys with an acoustic guitar genre, and he hates that type of genre.

Songs like low and I wanna love you playing on the radio on the school bus was peak middle school.

2007 is one of the best years for music!!

can't wait for Anthony to cover 1857

Hey There Delilah? The stalker song?
