An actual BOP! Come thru Dylan!

Todd, how are you so poggers?

Jesus, dude. My husband died unexpectedly a couple of months ago, and I still feel like I had a better year than you. :/

My only problem with the number one song it's not much of a love song. It feels like the kind of song that would belong on the list you made of mediocre love songs. I moved last year from my hometown in Oklahoma and I love my hometown and my home state profoundly! To such a degree that one of my former Sergeants remarked to me, "You know you are one of the only guys I know who truly loves where he's from." But we moved because the job market in the great state of Oklahoma is terrible. Just trying to find a job and family drama was putting a huge strain on our family. My point I guess is that if it really is love than it will always be enough. If you can live with leaving someone because something else in you're life is more important than that's not love. I left a place where my feet felt more solid on the ground and the air fills my lungs more deeply because my love for my family required it of me.

Sorry for the wall o'text. Been a semi regular viewer of yours for years now. I always enjoy these year end lists. Thank you.

oh hi there

Hi! Just wanted to pop in and say it makes me happy when I see a comment from a KZfaqr I like on a video from another KZfaqr I like. :)

Yeah, still an unapologetic Chainsmokers fan here 👋🏻

I agree that the Chainsmokers suck.

It really is surprising how strong their fan base is, they’ve bullied Todd into putting closer at #1 for the past 4 god damn years

What...?! Okay, and I thought 2020 couldn’t surprise me any more

that genuinely made me mad

Wtf?!?!

He obviously had good intentions but DAMMMMN was the execution bad.

I wish that genuinely good progressive house music existed in any other context but alas it doesn’t and he used it for that 🤷🏻‍♂️

I hope you don't mind me commenting but is it possible to heart your own comment? I think it would be better for more potential commenters to see it, as I was definitely drawn to this video shortly after hearing.

Came here thinking:"Wait a Minute,I heared that name before" Sorry man,I know how it is to like music from someone to find out their views are questinable.I first tried to keep listining and see the artist and their work as two different Things,but in my case the dude was just way to crazy(here in germany). In any case,you do you.

I must admit your prediction was the first thing that crossed my mind when i heard the news. Not so much as a funny gag but more of a disappointment to the music industry. After your end of year list, I listened to his entire If I Know Me Album and i could not stop listening to it. And this is coming from a person who does not necessarily like country music. I definitely agreed with you that Morgan Wallen was a country singer for the decades but I guess we were wrong, maybe for the best based on what i heard

I think you should pin this comment so more people can see it 👍

As soon as I heard about it, the first thing I thought about, was in fact, you, and how bad I felt for you with the platform that you have, You're right, this situation isn't funny, and its very bad for country music which was seemingly finding its feet again. None of us have a crystal ball to see into the future, we make predictions as a way of criticism for how an artist or bands future career will go, without predicting something, the layers of how far a topic can go, only get get shorter and less compelling, and while you are known for predictions that go astray, I really hope its something you don't shy away from in the future because of what happened. Been here since the channel awesome days and you've inspired myself and so many others to do the same as you. Love your work

Yup. They remember him saying he originated from country music, so while I disagree with his no. 1s, I'm not surprised because he gets something out of it, I don't or probably won't understand

Big Mood

Only he's not hiding it in the slightest

As someone from VA, my only radio stations were soft rock and like three country stations, so i relate...but unlike him i get a flight or fight response from hearing country

'Soft rock' was also country. I remember 'You Belong With Me' once playing at the same time on three stations and i almost threw my radio out my window

Same tho

neither did i honestly, but im glad its out now!!

-_-' tbh, I was waiting for this since Top 2020's Worst List. But whatever, it was worth it. 😁😁😁

Same lmao

Based on the open schedule throughout the year, I'm getting the vibe Todd had an easier time making it.

Oh yeah, that makes total sense and badass. I can't believe I didn't connect the Mad Max thing.

Using art to make adversity work FOR you.

Such an awful song. i don't even hate megan to be fair but that's just too annoying.

@@Ghost-fl7ej then shut up.

Not only did the Mad Max guy have a mask, he had the Spy Kids 3 goggles!

EXACTLY

My dad hates pop music but I played it and he liked it. It’s just one of those songs that everyone likes for one reason or another.

I hate pop and I loved this song it feels so euphoric and hyped and the videos doubles down for me it feels like a drug

The first time I heard that song I was like "this is it. This is the song that's cements him as a generational talent. This is a song that'll live on pop stations for decades" even though it's not even close to being his best imo. Seeing him play it at the super bowl just made me even more confident that I'm going to be hearing this song on the radio and at random places and events for the rest of my life.

Yeah when he dropped Heartless and Blinding Lights I was waiting the day he mentioned he was dropping music, I heard Heartless and thought this shit good hard, but you can tell it's not for everybody. I heard blinding lights and was dancing all over my living room, like yooo this is it, this is 🔥. It's mix of old disco and pop, blinding lights is literally the PERFECT hit song or single.

I found the outrage of a lot of rappers at WAP hilarious.

@@Pooky1991 Extend that to a lot of easily-offended men on the Internet. I bet most of the Todd fans who thought WAP was one of the worst songs of the year are feeling exceptionally butthurt about WAP being the second best song of the year.

@@gracecarpinter8623 It just sucks, nothing more to say

It makes me want to like WAP but I just don't, I can't listen to a minute of it and english is not my first language so it's not the lyrics, it's just bad music

With HIS personal and musical history? The irony is palpable

And yours too, Sean!

Yours as well Sean! 👍

same lmao

If April Fools Day didn't exist, then December/January would be the most exciting time to have a KZfaq channel because almost everybody does Year-End lists.

Yours and Double Agents Lists are right up there

Morgan Wallen is doing just fine; he went on his little apology tour and right back into the Top 20. Also Todd himself made a comment asking people to not be a dick with this stupid overdone joke, so if you could cut it out, that'd be peachy 👍

His version of "Cover Me Up" charting while Jason's didn't is still a fucking crime.

Unfortunately he still has a big career, even though Very Wise People in these comments will guilt you for criticizing him

my mom said one of her favorite songs right now is one of morgan’s and i was so close to snapping because why just why is he still around (i am aware of why but still)

@@riley2243 The guy apologized and lost a lot of momentum. What more do you want from him? Once stupid mistake to strip him of a future?

They be honest, what was David thinking?

He also sampled MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech

Todd got me to finally abandon my whole "I hate pop music because its lame >:(" attitude via his best lists, and I'm a lot happier as a result

Todd is generally an amazing and very poptimist critic - I recommend checking out his old Cinemadonna stuff if you haven't already. He does really great work analysing the careers of modern pop artists and celebrities in general without being condescending or dismissive about them

One of the things I like about Anthony Fantano is that he seems like the kind of hipster who would act like a total elitist, and yet he’s a total poptimist as well.

Pop music can unironically be brilliant. It depends on the artists who are willing to genuinely put passion into their craft instead of only being a dumb bop that stays on the charts for 3 weeks.

@@squashmallow2006 Yeah, sometimes I can’t decide if it takes an incredible amount of skill to create a pop song or just minimal effort and lots of luck. It highly depends on the song because some songs are ingenious with how they subtly use familiar elements in interesting ways and make it as catchy and likable as possible. It’s just that not everything lives up to that standard.

agreed, but so far his list is unimpressive to me. Im less excited.

Same, I feel like the worst of the year lists might pull more people into the channel but I much prefer the best of lists now. It's nice hearing him talk about things he likes

@@jhoughjr1 Same here. I may be disconnected from the current music zeitgeist, but I think that Todd may just have a different taste in popular songs than I do. I only marginally enjoyed a few of the things on the list. All of them sounded really boring and homogenous IMO, I don't think he made too good of a case for them. Not that he had to, of course, this is a list of what HE liked, not of the best music that released

I’m glad he’s actually getting back into music 💀

People don't know what wholesome means anymore do they?

It's great for writing a science fiction novel as well.

Its almost like artists had a lot of time to be creative and a lot of inspiration this year for some reason. I wonder why.

2019… 2015… 2011?

@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 it’s what she would have wanted

@@KnivingDispodia clearly, Breonna Taylor is smiling up from heaven at that amazing tribute.

He didn't get really big until the eighties, but Prince belongs in that category too. Michael Jackson was the opposite: normal-ish in the seventies, weirdo in the eighties, totally around the bend in the nineties.

You could argue that's what The Weeknd's been doing now - experimental artsy R&B in 2011, world-conquering hitmaker 5 years later.

@@lydiavalentino The Weeknd is also a victim of plagiarism in 2011 (cough cough Drake's Take Care Album).

Media criticism as an artform is dying but Todd's criticism (even when I disagree with him example #1 being the song WAP) is still top quality and he isn't following the crowd out of insecurity.

I love Todd. When he made WAP #2 . I knew he was different. He doesnt act like he is better than anyone.

I think it’s partly because media criticism for movies and shows has … more narrow limits? Film theory and criticism only has so much that can be said about it, and we’re also hitting a slump with the movies and shows being made. Too much of the material out there is just… what can you say about it that hasn’t been said before? That hasn’t been said about other movies? Music, however, does actually manage to keep changing - artists revolve in what feels like 5 year cycles, or at least that every 5 years, we get a whole new batch along with old favorites. And because we have been seeing some serious changes in the music scene because of things like TikTok and viral hits.

You're not laughing at the tragedy, you're laughing at the celebrity trying to make profit from said tragedy. It's perfectly acceptable to ridicule privileged idiots

Between that and the Imagine video, yeah. I wouldn’t want to live in a world where neither of those happened though. We needed some comedy in 2020

It's made so much worse (and funnier) by the fact that in stark contrast to the calculated Imagine video he was probably being a 100% sincere

@@walterxbenjamin true

Yeah, worse than the artists singing cause at least that was over the quarantine, George Floyd was something else

It felt so real so I'm gonna assume he played it back and said "yeah nah, that's staying in"

I can't blame him, I feel the same way about this shit that will. Not. END!

Because it probably wasn't

I'm actually crying. So much of the protests seems like years ago to me now, something I watched in a movie. Todd brought me right back into the moment, the realization that this actually happened, and is far from over...

That’s chronic TDS for you. :b

Best song of the year on pretty much every level. Glaring omission...🤬

No levitating :/

i was upset but heartless is on there so idgaf

LegMan Heartless is a good song, Blinding Lights is a GREAT song...

tbh, hearing that song along with all the others in his album makes it seem like the sellout one, like all the rest are either more interesting lyrically or have way more a interesting sound, blinding lights sounds like him knowing he needs a pop hit

right? he has huge Dad energy

Media implanted anger. Notwithstanding the pandemic. The past four years had no more major events than the four years before that, including terrorist attacks, racist episodes, etc.

@@mrb152 Yeah, but at least then there was a president who listened and made changes. This one praised and was often the direct cause of a lot of it.

@@mrb152 yeah, that sounds like media implanted nonsense you’re spouting there

@@therealVioletParr as long as CATS wasn't the inspiration

According to an interview she did with GQ a few years ago, when Taylor was 14 she wrote a novel about a girl whose mother wanted a son.

Okay, but Long Story Short is definitely 75% about her career, though.

the rare good Todd prediction

I didn’t know he moved, either. Do we know where to? LA?

@@MegCazalet he lived in New York and said that he moved across the country so I guess that means California cause the west coast doesn't have much outside of California and Seattle

@@ForestGreenSharpie That was my deduction. I think LA specifically makes the most sense for his career.

@@MegCazalet he did recently show up on a lindsay ellis video and she lives in LA though not together so its kind of a stretch for evidence

cool story

Same. I don’t know why she didn’t start from this since the beginning but I guess I should be asking Harry Styles why he didn’t start solo from the begging, Taylor Swift on why she didn’t start making indie music from the beginning and Carly Rae Jepsen and Bruno Mars on why they didn’t make 80s throw from the very start lol

If you had told me a year ago that Miley Cyrus would take a page from Bonnie Tyler, I wouldn't have believed it. But she did, and it's somehow great?

Yeah- though "Slide Away" is still my favorite song from hers. It's just such a soft break up song. I also have a soft spot for Mother's Daughter even though the video is cringe

One of the critics said Miley stopped having big hits the second she started releasing better material. Im still baffled Nothing Breaks Like A Heart wasnt bigger.

Really agreed with his take. I’ve never been into Miley, her voice never worked for me. And this just did it for me, oh god do I get it now.

Should be no 1

To the hamster song mixed with the I have a dream speech I wonder what made his think it was a good idea

Don't worry. I read your comment first, I prepared myself... no I didn't. Even bad jokes get laughs, just not the reason the joke was made. And that stupid face. Might as well have been "shout out to people brutalized by cops... **boom boom boom**" Excuse me David... but go to hell clown.

i like how iconic WAP is for outraging society but i'm way too asexual to actually listen to it, let alone like it lmao

I also am not a fan of WAP. I’m not a huge fan of listening to people talk about graphic sex but it was really funny how outraged people. It’s not my cup of tea but I can sit through it lol

I have literally somehow never heard WAP a single time. Ever. Idk how, I'm not even trying to avoid it, but I still haven't ever heard it a single time 🤷‍♂️

Same! I was scrolling through the video to find any mention of Rina...

same here, i discovered her this year and was lowkey hoping he would mention her lmao i just love her sm

I've been extremely annoying in his twitter mentions asking if he's listened to sawayama. I'd get the feeling he's really enjoy it

She got me through this year with Ashnikko as well

YES

mostly because his worst lists are filled with obscure country songs.

Todd shitting on things is my favourite thing on KZfaq.

He is VERY salty and condesending in his reviews of bad songs I actually avoid those videos

I rewatch the worst lists often but usually the older ones. The best lists are way too emotionally charged to watch that often

honestly, I regularly binge through all of his top 10s, it's so interesting to see these time capsules back to back

Trash beat, trash vibes, normie humor in the lines... 😴

gotta say I don't really see the appeal to it, its someone singing about sex in a really graphic way? okay, not really pushin any new boundaries that's already been done quite a few times. the beat is kinda meh, sure some lines are funny and it is also hilarious how that many people got way too offended by it but in this day n age people being offended isnt really rare

I totally agree. Montero makes me feel similarly. They got that appeal of peeps who get sexualized taking the reigns in a creative, fun way, and then everyone gets way too mad about it lol. It's not my usual style but it's very fun and I'm glad we got it in a year of too much bs

I can definitely related to that, even as desperate as I am, because as someone who lives in the city, I wouldn't move to Stinkwater Alabama for anyone in the world.

I lived in cities most of my life, but then I got away from them for a couple of years and now I can't understand why people don't leave them. Not just toxic from the pollution but the people there too.

I'm from a town of about 7k but moved to the city for tertiary study. Literally, the light pollution is something I think about regularly. When I go some to work in the break I sometimes just look at the stars and trees because I miss them so much. Seems ridiculous to someone who didn't grow up in the country, but it's all the little things you miss when you move to the city. Like if someone is struggling with some bags or something, no one gives a shit and keeps walking past. Also proximity. Holyshit! Why are city people so close all the time? Like I don't want to smell your breakfast when we're having a conversation, damn. I'm not a big fan of modern country but really appreciate the sentiment of this because on some level I can relate.

Also if she's not willing to stay with him either, it's a relationship that will clearly not work long term. Both want different things and more often than not, relationships based on too many comprises don't do well. They just breed resentment on both sides.

I live in a smaller town in Florida and my bf lives in Miami, ill come and stay with him sometimes and when I do I can't stop thinking about how much I miss being away from the city. I can't stand the traffic and the overdevelopment and the crowds of people that I mostly can't stand, it feels like 8/10 people are assholes. I always remember how much I miss the live oak trees and mangroves and the wide open spaces and trails and the whistling ducks that fly over my house every evening. its just something that people who live in a city can't really understand, I would never live in one but some people love it.

Amen

When he said that I expected in your eyes to be the Weeknd song on the list. I was absolutely shocked to see Heartless.

it's a little exhausting to hear after 3 listens honestly

Well it was dropped in 2019 so. . .

I actually think Midnight Sky sounds like Little Lies, a Christine vocal from Fleetwood Mac. I’ve heard the Edge mash up, but I can’t help but here the opening bars of Little Lies in Midnight Sky.

She's basically Stevie Nicks meets Joan Jett meets Pat Benatar now and I am freaking here for it. Her basically pulling a Cher would be incredible.

Miley did some covers of Bob Dylan back in the day and they're INCREDIBLE. The woman has a great voice, just not for pop lol.

I don’t think anyone is really that aroused by WAP, it’s more about the comedy/over the top nature of it. It’s about sex, but it’s not really sexy.

@@AllWordsAreDust i'm well aware that no one is actually aroused by the song but for me it's too overtly about sex for me to enjoy it. some songs about that are about sex i don't mind and sometimes like but most songs that are clearly about sex i don't like and WAP is one of the ones i very much do not like

The problem is, pronouncing it the other way is a Boomer slur for immigrants. WOP (Without Papers). And the punchline to such classic racist jokes as "What's the sound of hitting a wall with a bag of shit...?"

@@Th3Treasoner Heh, was thinking of pointing out that bit of trivia too, that it was frequently targeted at Eye-tal-yins, but figured the simple version was good enough.

@@Samael1113 do Americans have a slur for everything???

@@tom.447 Facetious though that comment may be, you are now getting a sociological history lesson in reply :P Many fostered and inherited the British sense of exceptionalism and elitism, while the country maintained a constant stream of new immigrant waves, which makes for a never-ending feedback loop of Racism, ironically supported by all the old groups that were the target of said racism. Like - The old U.S. Italians and Irish don't like each other because the Irish were heavily discriminated against, predating the Italians, then the Italians immigrated and the Irish found acceptance in "At least we're not Italian". I believe this was then put on the Polish and Armenians by the Italians (but am less sure of that). So, maybe not everything, but there are a great many slurs to be found, yes. Off the top of my head. Targets based on loose immigration waves. Indigenous peoples, Africans, Asians, Irish, Mexicans, Asians, Germans, Jews, Russians, Italians, Polish, Armenians, Asians, Indians (actual India Indians), Afro-Caribbean, Arabian & Persian & any outwardly Muslim group, Latin Americans (which is fucking hilarious when they basically have a Latin state off the east coast). The Asian category varies in target make-up depending on era, though Chinese are common pretty much every time. Other Asian ethnicities of note include Japanese & Pacific Islander (like Filipino), Korean (though not any where near as bad as other groups here), Indo-Chinese (Hmong, Khmer). The African category is sadly too difficult to break down, and refers mostly to the initial slaves brought over, whose children till have yet to be treated fairly, in contrast to most of the other peoples.
