This unlocked a core memory for me. I was so mad about that U2 album. I remember googling how to get rid of it- and I found a “hack” to make a playlist of all your songs, except that album. I had a playlist called “everything except U2” lmao
U2 was good in the 1980s-2000s. Their 2010s stuff wasn't as good. :) However, Martin Garrix collabed with Bono in 2021, and that sounded amazing. It was kind of sad that Apple didn't allow folks to delete the 2014 album... Industry planting is a strange concept, when the U2 album should have been PWYW like In Rainbows (I need to listen to that album, cos am only in my 20s).
@@thatguyalex2835Nope. U2 were never good and have always been known as pretentious radio friendly shite. They were the equivalent of Taylor Swift or Kanye West today; talentless hacks raking in enormous amounts of money from enormous amounts of tasteless morons for people we will never know the names of. The cycle will always continue.
damn, i remember listening to one of their songs called "california" all the time, not because i wanted to listen to it, but rather, like you said, it was free, and iTunes was the only streaming platform i knew of at the time
never heard of them period nor itunes, but to be fair i was born 02 didnt start using a computer till i was 5 which was in 07 so all i knew was youtube
@@tdsjgwrihugw cause when i was little itunes was just not something i wasnt exposed to, as a 5 year old i was only allowed to go onto kids sites or youtube, i couldnt go on anything else so in that age no i didnt know it existed, in my early teens i did but not as a small child
Funny enough, I didn’t hear about the songs of innocence controversy until a year after it got released, because I actually liked the album and never needed to delete it.
I remember being like 4 and the first song I heard on my ipad was California by U2. At this point I know like all of their songs by heart cuz I've heard them SO MANY TIMES. I never knew why U2 was on iTunes (always thought my parents downloaded it on accident), so thanks for the video.
Things like that have been a problem for ages. They used to outright pay DJs to play specific artists as part of their promotional scheme, even if the artists weren't the best.
Oh my gosh. Now I understand the reason why this is the album that plays every time my mom plugs her phone into the car. I had asked her before why she had bought it, but she said she didn't remember buying it. It all makes sense now!
bro when he showed that album cover my brain exploded😭 i remember being so upset because i couldn’t figure out why that was constantly playing on my phone
This video is great!!! It’s crazy because even U2 fans hated on that album a lot, but it was the one that made me fall in love with U2 in the first place (at the age of 11) because it was on my first iPhone (iPhone 4s). So yeah, it actualled worked for U2. Maybe not in the way the intended to, but it worked. Nice job Jack, please don’t stop it.
How to turn a 30 second tic tok idea into 9 mins of RUclips. Anyone else remember the music that came with Windows XP? Beck, David Byrne, Highway Blues?
I remember this album randomly appearing on my iTunes. I hated the album so much that now it is a struggle for me to even listen to the good U2 songs because I feel like they hurt me personally for doing that. Like I'm still holding that grudge over them
I remember the U2 album. I just went on one day and was confused as to what it was. I didn’t delete it until a couple years later because I kept forgetting. Was unaware of its backstory lol
My dad has that album in his iphone, since every time we get in the it connects automatically, I listened it a lot, I really liked California and Every Breaking Wave
I remember opening my really old iPad from 2011 a few months ago and opening iTunes to see "U2" in my library and being really confused... Who knew there was this much lore?!
6:05 Fun fact, older Apple products only came with the 1 speaker on the bottom side of the phone. They had identical grills because…it looked nicer. That’s literally it; it’s not the fact that the speaker “didn’t work”, there was just simply never a speaker on that side. I only found this out recently.
8:55 I’m 25 and him holding an AV cable and saying “I don’t even know that this cord is” made me feel 65. Idk if he’s serious or not, but just in case, that’s a HDMI cord but not for HD. An artifact from the days of “standard definition”.
When I first got my iPod Touch 5th gen MANY years ago, all I did was listen to that album. I didn't have any other music because I was a kid without money. To this day, I think I've listened to it more than any other albums because of this.
Oddly enough, we never had this album appear in our libraries. Our Apple ID is from 2011 and that album never appeared in our music library and it still isn't there to this day.
DUDE THAT SONG WITH THE TWO DUDES KEEP ON PLAYING EVERY TIME MY DAD CONNECTS HIS PHONE TO THE RADIO! THE SONG I REMEMBER IS THE ONE THAT GOES VOLCANOEEEE!!
Even though I'm Indian, this makes perfect sense to me, tiktok has formed such a strong base in the culture that you'll inevitably know what's up on tiktok. People here majorly tend to use instagram reels, the brain rot doesn't stop! All popular tiktoks eventually make their way to instagram and RUclips.
@@DummyChannel Yeah I personally liked it as well but a lot of new viewers probably think it’s boring so sometimes it’s best to cut it out for retention
Thank you for the video, you are doing tremendous job! As a music guy I just wanna say the album is nothing special, but one song called The Troubles is actually very good.
Never seen u2 album but it reminded me of "Over The Horizon" that was always instaled on my previous phones. I was really confused when it wasn't installed on my newest phone. It was generally just alarm clock sound but it was only full song that was preinstalled and used as alarm.
This so interesting! In 2014 i was really young but i was allowed to use my moms phone for music, and I remember seeing that album there. But, my mom was always a HUGE U2 fan (not so much anymore lol) so I figured that was just her music. I wonder if she knows about this. Great video!
There was so many times I was gunna click off this video, mostly cos I knew about the U2 thing already, but you kept grabbing my attention and your video was entertaining. Ended up watching the whole thing- good job 👏🏽👏🏽
I remember seeing the album when i used to play with my mum's old phone as a kid and was always confused why it was there, it feels so weird finding out why it was there 😂
I remember when this happened. My dad, who's a high school teacher, found out and the day of told his students he put an album on their phones to listen to and they all freaked out lol.
I love on the thumbnail all the building in the background are covered in the album cover 😂. This was the only album I listen for a whole year, I loved it 😂
HAHAAH NO cause my mom was trying to play music and this album would always play on accident and I couldn’t get it off….. literally like 7+ years later this feels creepy to see the album cover again and gives me some unneeded stressful flashbacks😭😭
This reminded me of another video I watched recently!! called "the illigal rise of spotify" and it talks about how the free music is bad for the music artists and well- everything about spotifies(?) creation and discourse (I would say more but I dont want to spoil it). I highly reccomend watching it especially as it ties into this video!
I remember seeing the album on my ipad, keep in mind I was 9 at the time, and I saw 2 men almost makey nakey. I was like, "dude what do my parents listen to?" and that's how I remember the cover to the album lol.

I guess you didn't have the internet?
Followed this story as it happened back when it actually happened & all the backlash.
Same
I used to love listening to the only songs on my moms iphone which were from the U2 album "songs of innocence"
Some phones came with a U2 album... some promotional collaboration
Here's the thing. TikTok cannot be accessed in India, even with a VPN. The app recognises that you're in India based on the cellular connection.
@@SlushiFoxEdits nope. The only way to access it is removing your simcard from your device.
time to move to india
i use vpn on my pc so ez to open tiktok😎
same thing in russia, i have bypassed it but still afraid to lose access.

my personal opinion on what’s the most popular song is the guy who will never give you up

its the samsung ringtone! it honestly slaps way harder than it should
it slaps so hard that I was upset it wasn't on my new phone, best ringtone
Ye, it's been my ringtone for a full decade at this point!
You unpacked a lot, Jack! Pretty good ending too. Keep it up!
I remember when I was younger I went on my iPod to listen to kidz bop and a U2 album randomly was in my owned albums and now I finally know why
so what’s the fucking song
