Maroon 5 is about as much of a 'band' as Tears For Fears was in the early 90s. Main difference being TFF actually put out decent songs, even when it was just Roland. Seriously, can anyone outside of the most diehard sheep that actually likes that 5 Morons horseshit name one member of the band OTHER than Adam Levine? Don't even get me started on The Voice.
SPOILER: Finally, after all these years, Todd was finally able to give the #1 spot to a song by Maroon 5. This must be how Leonardo DiCaprio felt when he finally got that Oscar lol
Lol look at Lil Pump's face while he's plodding along in that suit. He looks so lost and confused. Meanwhile Kanye makes it look like the best thing ever.
*So how’d we turn this sh!t premise into a hit song, ayyy? Probably lil Dickey’s friends and stupid kids yo* For real, I know every man wants to be the alpha male, but some “cool” guys are just terrible. Case in point, Chris Brown, enough said. If anyone deserved an early cancel in the 2010s it was him. But he just kept getting bigger after 2 years. And now it just feels pointless to remind people of what he did. And it makes it hard to enjoy the song for me.
What’s really weird about High Hopes is somehow Panic still sounds like a band despite having only one person in the band. Compare that to Maroon 5, there’s like 5 or 6 people in the band yet it sounds like a solo project.
Yeah, I was thinking just when he was able to take a breath, 2020 comes in and he's like "wait why do I hear boss music... and why does that boss music just sound like incomprehensible yelling?"
SidTV25 Yeah, honesty when he picked Roar as number one I didn’t agree because there were so many worse songs that year, but Girls Like You sounds like it was written by an algorithm designed to create the most basic song ever.
I have an increased hatred for High Hopes than most songs I don't care for because it was from Panic At The Disco which used to make music I liked in 2008, then eventually they went from music inspired by orchestrated movie soundtrack, to commercial music. Rip classic Panic At The Disco. I don't remember if that album I'm thinking of was lost media.
Wow, ALL of these songs left absolutely no impact on me at all. I forgot half of them even existed until I saw them on the list and remembered they were a thing and I'll probably forget them again by morning. Pantone's color of the year should have been Pantone 16-0906 TPX Simply Taupe. We were not inventive and imaginative. This year's pop songs were just as boring and needed help from other genres to makes them even remotely interesting.
Most memeerable part of any of those songs is whatever the fuck was going on in that kanye song. Though they put it into rewind so I guess that meme is dead now.
High hopes is the only thing on this “list” (honourable mentions) that I completely disagree with. I love that song. I also didn’t just jump on the bandwagon, I genuinely liked it before it got all this radio play (although I do admit I don’t like it being played on the radio so much)
"Girls Like You" sounds like a creepy dad trying to make a song for his pissed off wife, with a Playskool toy he stole from his kids called 'Baby's First Autotuner". Actually, a lot of these songs sound like they were made with that same toy. Great lists, Todd!
Laurie Ann When I first heard that Maroon 5 was doing a collab with Cardi B, I thought it was going to be a banger. But when I heard it, it was a ballot, and I hated it. But I’ll give it this, Cardi’s singing voice is alright, if that’s anything.
Pop music today sounds like it could be featured on the Treehouse kids' TV channel. Lyrics and beats that sound as if preschoolers composed them. How I'm supposed to be "into" this shit as a young person today is incredibly insulting to my intelligence.
"Thank God he's not going to be around in 2019" Todd made a true prediction for once. And now it's 2020 and 6ix9ine the mega-nonce is famous with hordes of fans again. 2020 sucks.
hello, I'm from the future. 2024, to be exact. Drake has taken an even bigger L, maroon 5 is gone now, and Kanye's politics have gone from "incomprehensible" to "very right wing"
Maroon 5 is basically the "Family Guy" of pop music. When they first started out, they were by no means a great band, but there was a small amount of things they did that were decent. But as the years went on, it just got progressively worse and worse to the point where people (and I'm pretty sure Adam himself) just want them gone
They are the posterboys for mailing-it-in. They were never anything special but were once a decent pop band. Now it's just auto-tuned Adam and a random artist thrown-in by marketing doing overproduced crap cobbled-together by a pop-music assembly-line.
The difference is that family guy has leaned into its absurd premise: namely that your supposed to hate almost every character on the show but especially the Griffifes, hence why Peter gets beat up so often. Maroon 5 has nothing that clever
I'm hoping the low tempo, minimalist production, drop-heavy, trap-inspired quagmire pop music has fallen into is a trend that dies soon. The club shit of 2010-2011 and the EDM boom of 2013-2015 may have been obnoxious, but they had a few bangers and actually invoked some form of emotional response. The last 2-3 years have just been crushingly boring. So few songs I can think of that I actually enjoyed or were even memorably bad. My worst fear is that something even worse will come along and I'll look back on this era with nostalgic fondness.
I would blame the year 2012, it's the year where We Are Young and Somebody That I Used to Know, both alternative songs, became the biggest hit of the year and caused a surge of indie fluke hits/throwback mellow band that would flood the following uears and drained the high energy off most pop songs
@@nostalgicfears yeah when I found out that “High Hopes” was Panic! At The Disco’s top song on Apple Music I was just like play “I write Sins not Tradgedies”
I feel like Todd is to the Worst of 2018 as Cardi B is to Girls Like You: He's giving it so much energy, but the year is giving him nothing to work with. I really looked forward to this list, but after watching it, I'm sad. The music is so bland and boring, it doesn't feel like you can even muster any emotion to cope with how rubbish it all was. Makes me miss "7 Years" - that song was horrible enough to invoke proper ire. This is just depressing. Keep it up, Todd. You're doing great.
@@DocUno1 I mean, that's just pop music. There's been some great alternative stuff- I'm looking forward to 2019 regardless, we're getting new Marina, Lana Del Rey, Vampire Weekend, and Grimes. So I honestly think that things are looking up.
@@DocUno1 Mainstream music is at it's worst point maybe, but soooo many good albums came out in 2018. They weren't all super popular, but KOD, Hoodie SZN, Dicaprio 2 and the countless songs inspired by X were legendary. KOD was yet another amazing featureless platinum by J Cole. Hoodie SZN and Dicaprio 2 will finally show the mainstream the talent of JID and Boogie. X's death has given rise to some of the other incredibly talented artists in members only. Even the usual trashy trap took a step up with some decent albums. Sure the pop songs sucked like always, but that's unavoidable. I'm just happy to see real rap triumph over the mumble.
@@hiimemily I mean, I can't fathom what they were thinking at the time, so how Kanye's supporters would react to his shifting views between 2020 and now is truly beyond me.
I thought you were just surprised to learn Brandon had a new gender identity. I was like "Oh, are they a them? Good for them!" but after reading the rest of your comment I realized I misunderstood lol
If you actually go to the Picasso museum you will see little grocery store brown paper bags that he literally burned eyes and mouths into with lit cigarettes to create these bizarre garbage faces. These things are all over the walls at the museum... thinking of that with Lovitz as Picasso in mind always made me laugh.
How is sounding like it's from a different year inherently bad? One of my favorite songs I found his year is a song from 2016 and it sounds like it's from 2003.
@@kagenotatsumaki Let me clarify, and I apologize for the lack of clarity in my original comment. I didn't mean necessarily that it sounds like it's from 2008 and that's why it's bad. I basically was trying to say that it, and the format sounded like it was out of date, and it sounded generic for that time. It isn't bringing anything new or interesting to the table. Just a bunch of older ideas coming back.
Justin Timberlake fell so hard that Todd is considering doing a Trainwrecords of man in the woods even if he could still had a little chance of returning.....that's how bad 2018 was for him.
Anyone else eager to hear Todd's Top 10 Best list? As entertaining as it is to hear him groan and complain about shitty music, he truly comes to life when he talks about the music he really enjoyed. Can't wait!!!
I'm torn. On the one hand, I love his best of lists, and last year was probably my favorite best of list. On the other hand, I looked over the Billboard year-end hot 100 for 2018 to see what songs Todd would have to choose from...lol

What's so damn funny about Maroon 5 now is that when you see their videos, you'll often see the other band members in the background and they'll often have guitars, and drums, and everything. But the music is entirely drum machines, and synths without a single damn guitar or acoustic drum to be heard. I'm really beginning to think that the actual BAND Maroon 5 doesn't exist any more and that Adam Levine just brings in these guys to just... stand there in the back behind him while he mimes singing at the mic. And he most likely just has some.. producer make music for him somewhere, and not the band. As a matter of fact, I'm willing to bet that now, none of the rest of the band actually PLAYS any instruments on the albums at ALL. It's just Adam and some.. engineer who writes and records the music in a room full of synths, loops, drum machines, and then they fly the rest of the guys in for videos when they're needed.
@@ordinarychef Right? It's like he's a solo artist in denial of being a solo artist. The actual band hasn't been present in any of the music in quite some time. The last video was REALLY sad because it just showed the guys with the guitar and bass and drums just standing and sitting there.. and there's no damn guitars or real drums in the song. It's all drum loops and synth loops and just... loops. That's the whole song. The guys were just... decorations awkwardly posing with their instruments that weren't even IN the song. And this isn't the first time that this has happened. There are other pop band/artists bands who are getting guilty of this as well, where the actual band seems to have... disappeared and the music seems to have turned into loops and synths produced by an engineer in a studio, but yet, in videos, they're showing the band playing. And the music doesn't feature the instruments. This appears to be a trend. Maroon 5 is one of the most obvious where the guy is a blatant solo artist now, but there's other bands that have albums out now where they faked the band too.
Let's all be honest, when you heard Maroon 5 let's say verse One Direction who can you name in the band? One Direction or Maroon 5? I'll give you One hint.
@@Vivincubus Yes, but the way he uses this phrase, he intends to say "I don't know anything". However, Lil Pump is an idiot who does not understand grammar.
I'll be-honest 60 percent of these songs felt like they came out forever ago. not this year... and the others I had no idea what they were... Geeze, this year has felt long...
Four years ago Todd teased us with the news that Man of the Woods would be a trainwreckord, and I’m still waiting with baited breath! That’s gonna be a great video
Todd I'm getting genuinely concerned :( every year it seems like you get more and more unironically bitter over this stuff. Like seriously man are you good?
His job is (partly) reviewing songs that he thinks are bad. I would be bitter too if all I did was doing something I didn't like. At least his Best Of lists brings some passion to him. But he's also right, pop music got stale long ago
@@ordinarychef Luckily he can still do the Trainwreckords and One Hit Wonderland episodes. I like hearing Todd complain as much as the next guy, but I think the other projects are what we're focusing on until pop becomes interesting again.
The primary joke of the Freaky Friday song is that switching bodies with someone more famous was awesome - as long as they're male. But Lil Dicky becoming Kendall wasn't about him using her FAME for personal gains; it instantly became about using her genitals. I'm bothered by the fact that it didn't have to be Kendall for that to happen; any woman could've been in that role and the joke would've been the same. As though it's Funny! that the first thing you'd do with access to an unresisting woman's body is violate it for your pleasure.
InkHeart17 that’s not fully true. It’s “switching bodies with someone more famous is awesome...as long as they’re male AND ETHNIC!” The only ones he’s excited to be are Chris Brown and DJ Khalid. Ed Sheeran’s line is “it’s way less cool than being Chris Brown was”. He’s a white man writing a song that ends on a rape line, yes, but the majority of the song is him trying to profit off of black entertainers that specifically are light enough not to have to deal with as much racism as some darker entertainers. This song is incredibly problematic
@@mcwyman7928 The Disney channel Freaky Friday movie is based off of a musical of the same name which is actually a lot better (as a fan of the musical I do believe they butchered it, the same way Riverdale butchered Carrie the musical which was a dark and mysterious musical about teen angst but Riverdale made it sound like a generic pop musical as well as the only person that can sing having one line. Sorry for the essay I'm just pissed at musical adaptations this year)
philmstud2k What on earth did the Kardashians/Jenners do to deserve being tortured/abused? Saying that just makes you sound like a psycho and is much worse than the stupid creepy line in that song.
@@justbeyondthecornerproduct3540 To be fair, they already had that issue for a lot of people. Brendon just sounded a lot like Patrick, and emo flows a certain way that can make a lot of bands sound similar. But nowadays, the idea of them copying Fall Out Boy is way even worse, considering new Fall Out Boy is useless garbo. Panic! had depth, and meaningful lyrics, even when they went into electronic rock and pop, where FOB lost theirs, so it's even more sickening to see.
SAAAAAAAME! was really disappointed in pray for the wicked as a whole, but after DFAB I really should have seen the point where Brendon would just completely fizzle out, I miss the FYCSO and pretty odd era😢
Considering the fact that the entire list is made up of droning whining that fades into the background (and not in the pleasent way like wind in the trees, but more of an almost vaguely irritating one that you don't want to focus on too long, like droning cicadas or a noisy highway), I think everyone, but especially Todd, would welcome something that actually makes you feel an emotion, good or bad. The alternative is only more of this "Brought to you by 2018's drug of choice, Xanax" plodding garbage. Give us a hot dumpster fire to roast, thank you.
Algirdas Kaupelis Because some years are worse than others. Like theoretically there could be one year that the majority of the worst hit songs of the decade come from.
I'm really surprised that Halsey/G-Eazy song didn't make the list. It was godawful (basically sounded like a passionate declaration of love between two 12-year-olds on myspace) and then got significantly more awkward after they broke up.
Yeah. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, but it's so immature and defensive, especially Halsey's part. She sounds like a young teen throwing a tantrum because her parents don't like her brand new first boyfriend.
To me, "Filthy" is working on a so-bad-it's-good level that's so compelling. I can't say that it's good but damn it it's saved on my Spotify library and I'll listen to it if it shows up randomly. I don't expect anyone to see this my way.
no i totally agree. same with Look What You Made Me Do. like at first it’s just an apalling affront to music but on the 500th listen she says “because she’s DEAD!!” and you cackle cuz holy shit dude what
Was a huge Kanye fan up until 808s & Heartbreak. That started my "meh" train with Kanye where sometimes I'd like a verse or single, but I'd never buy a full album again. Then 2018 happened . . . Kanye please get on meds, I really hate seeing you destroy yourself and your legacy. #neverMeetYourHeroes
I can get that, but imagine that you took the first ten seconds or so of that song, where it's playing those hype power chords, and then you made that into an actual fucking song. I think you're right that it manages to be compelling, but imagine if it also managed to be good as well.
benepla - I genuinely like "Look What You Made Me Do", just because I really like bratty, petty revenge songs. It's cathartic for me to listen to. Plus, I don't think the song was that sincere. I think Taylor was trying to pull a "Blank Space" again where she leans into her Mean Girl persona that the media has been depicting her as and playing it as a character. But I don't think the song successfully conveyed well enough that it was a joke, unlike "Blank Space".
I'm curious: how many of these songs (both this video and the one before it) have multiple people singing in them? I swear, pop music has gotten so disinteresting that they can only make hits by pulling in multiple stars into the mix just to hide the boringness of the songs.
Man I agree with number 1 so hard. And the worst part about the song is the fact that it's obviously retail playlist's favorite right now. It only recently got replaced with Happier which is at least something. But for half the year I had to listen to Girls Like You at least 3 times a shift and every single time it came on every worker in the store groaned so... The only thing I'm surprised about is that The Middle by Zedd isn't on here. Only because we seemed to be in sync with the worst song of this year and The Middle just drains on me and is empty and boring and the only line I can remember is "Why can't you just meet me in the middle, I'm losing my mind just a little" and I think it was just another case of retail overplay but I tried listening to it out of work and it's one of those ones I just can't get through. Maybe it was just not bad enough for your list but hey it could be on your best list, we'll see.
he said in the review that, while not a fan, he actually really likes the production. I'm more surprised the other song he talked about in that review, "meant to be", wasn't on here.
Even more than that though, its just so gross... It kinda exceeds stupid and lands into the territory of "makes me want to flinch whenever its on". I actually loved the beat of it, and its a bit of a testament to the lyrics that it was THAT cringe-worthy.
High Hopes dishonorable mention, immediate reaction is "fight me!!" lol your opinion is fine, I just really like that song. Maroon 5 gets #1? at this point in this decade that is not surprising honestly
@@HennaK17 mmm yeah, I can agree with that (I don't know about y'all but honestly Time to Dance is my favorite) but High Hopes is a jam for me right now so lol
@@relientlykrazie6011 Panic at their worst still blow this whole shit show of a year out of the water. High Hopes actually sounds like music and has energy and emotion, unlike just about every other hit this year.
@@ThePi314Man heh I can't disagree with that except for the insinuation High Hopes is their worst? unsure if that was the implication or not lol. I am curious though, what do people think is the worst Panic song? I haven't heard their whole discography but I've heard a bit but I can't say worst but I'll cast New Perspective as my vote (not bad just kinda meh)
Give some credit to Rick Dees, he had the common courtesy to stick to his true calling (being a radio dj) after Disco Duck's failed follow-up, Disgorilla. Lil Dicky keeps coming back despite nobody liking him.
Its really sad to see how far Maroon 5 has fallen off... I still think Songs About Jane is one of the greatest albums ever recorded, and I’ll die on that hill, and hell, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long and Hands All Over are even pretty good. But, man... they really did just give up on being musicians, didn’t they? Super disappointing as someone who used to consider themselves a fan. They’re just so... bad now.
@@thedemon4780 Yeah, really. I agree. They need to hang it up and just stop. They'll never make anything as good as they used to 17-18 years ago. That's it. The last song they made that was even worth listening to was "Don't Want To Know", and that was because of Kendrick's verse. The song itself was annoyingly boring. "Sugar" was ok, but, everyone quickly forgot about it, but the high pitched voice thing is funny to do to annoy people. But, as sad as it is for me to say, they'll never have a song or album as good as "She Will Be Loved", "Sunday Morning", "This Love", or shit, even "Payphone", with Wiz Khalifa. Oh well, the songs of theirs that were really good, are still good to listen to. And their "new" shit? It'll be forgotten soon enough, and their good shit will still be good shit, for like, a few more years or a while, at least. But, if I'm wrong, I'll gladly eat my own words. I've done it before, and I'll do it again in the future.
I actually enjoyed a lot of their pop stuff. Hell, the "V" album is pretty fun if you're just looking for some catchy pop with good hooks. But after that, they really just stopped trying and it's very evident looking at Levine that he does not care at all about what he's singing
So I went into Carl's Jr. and these songs played: 1. Someone you Loved (*vomits*) 2. Filthy (Filthy) 3. Idk what the song was, it was just bad. what a disgusting playlist. 3/10, would not recommend.
Sorry you had to go through that, but, I agree. 2018 had the WORST songs. Sorry, I meant; being AT Carl's Jr?! Why would ANYONE go there? Nah, really, dude/lady, i am so sorry you had to hear more of "Moron 5: The Sellout Years, Pt. 45", and hear more from Justin Timberlake, who's name I'm struggling to remember, which is a shame, because he's more talented then Adam Levine & The Forgotten 4. I don't even know what that 3rd song is you're talking about, dude/lady. Sounds awful though. These songs were so shitty, that I can't even remember them. They're so shitty, that I couldn't disagree about "River", that song that Eminem did with Ed Sheeran being on the list, and Eminem is like; my FAVORITE rapper ever. And I remember when Maroon 5 DIDN'T suck, and were one of my favorite bands, and Levine wasn't a lifeless, cgi bearded mannequin, or am I confusing him with the lead singer of Gonad Migraines? Or were they Insomnia Dagger? It's hard to remember their name. The whole year of 2018 gets a 2.5/10 from me. 2019 gets a 6/10 from me. And 2020 so far, gets a 3/10. Maybe, if we're still around by the end of this already shitty year, I'll raise it to maybe, a 4.5, or a 5, maybe 6 out of 10... maybe, but maybe not. Not sure. Sorry for the super long message, dude/lady.

To this day I have some sort of violent, physical reaction upon hearing Filthy. It's the type of music I expect to hear when I'm dragged to Hell for my sins.
I recently heard "Filthy" play inside a Carl's Jr. I had never heard the song in full, only the fragmented parts in Todd's review. The song in full is even worse than Todd's review makes it sound.
I genuinely got so happy to see Maroon 5 on here, it feels like a Twilight Zone episode to see how many people are still invested in their shitty music
Wow... i mean i'm a pretty hateful person i can hate on pretty much everything but just because you don't like the band doesn't mean they are bad. I mean yeah i don't like there music but there music ain't bad just because you got some sand up your vag
The part "But I love myself." "That's the key, we're switching back." was my pick for worst 2 seconds. Yeah, the big problem we can all agree has plagued Chris Brown's life and career all these years... is that he doesn't sufficiently realizes what a great person he is.
Lil Dicky is a pretty good rapper when he's not collabing. I've been following him since 2012 or so, its a shame Freaky Friday was the song that charted and not something off of his album.
I cannot believe that Lil Baby introduced himself to mainstream audiences with “wa wa wa bitch I’m Lil Baby” and then proceeded to become one of the biggest artists of the next 5 years
as an avid fan of Kanye, and as someone who considers The Life of Pablo one of their favorite albums ever, that Pablo Picasso SNL comparison was accurate as fuck
"...Considering how grotesque this year was. Where every single day felt like my blood was on fire." I never realized that someone could summarize 2018 in about two sentences.
@@bagelq2028 it sounds like a cheap ripoff of Kids. It also is about as boring as a corporate cash grab version of Kids would wind up being, plus, if it ISN'T a corporate cashgrab, that makes it worse for just how much it SOUNDS like Kids. Just my opinion though, you like it, feel free. :P
Okay but 0:55 is one of my favourite moments from 2018, the outfits, the fact that they so obviously dont want to be there, the censorship of 90% of the song. It's beautiful
It isn't on the worst list. It's an honarable mention, and even then High Hopes doesn't even sound like a Panic! at the Disco song. Sounds like generic pop.
Chad Copenhagen I made that connection immediately. The connection I hadn’t made till now was the Foster the People/lovelytheband one. Listening to it again, it’s crazy how much plagiarism “Broken” got away with.
I made the connection almost immediately. The song felt like every indie pop song released from the early 2010’s mixed into and blender with absolutely terrible lyrics (mental illness is not something to bond over).
I didn’t mind i love it But girls like you is absolutely the worst song of the 2010s hand down :Edit April 27th 2021 I forgot i I commented this in 2018/2019 and I’m gonna say my opinion still stands (to a lesser degree however.) I actually have been starting to hate maroon 5 and girls like you way more personally (especially after the Super Bowl performance a few years back.) With “I love it” in my opinion the song is quite lackluster (especially for Kanye west.) And in my personal opinion lil pump and Nikki manage ruined the song. Overall I just wanted to express my current options on theses two songs. Thank you for replying and liking god bless!
I predict that Thank U, Next will be in Todd’s top 10, possibly top 5, on his best list, considering how often he seems to bring that song up in, more or less, positive ways. As for other predictions, maybe an X song in the lower end of the top 10, and while this isn’t a prediction, hopefully Sicko Mode is in the top 10, since that was probably my personal favorite of 2018.
I'm still amazed that Ariana has managed to survive 2018's genocide of all pop stars with personality. Ariana Grande has officially become the only pop star that matters. And I hopped onboard the Ariana train this year as a result, because there was nothing else.
I don't think "Thank U Next" will make it -- not based on its quality, but just because the bumper songs never make it into the top 10. With the exception of . . . god, 2016's worst, maybe? That "I don't fuck with you" song, which I don't think really counts because he only included it in the top *because* he used it as his bumper, and hearing it come up over and over while editing made it grow on him. I think it's kinda the exception that proves the rule, though.
@@qusigh I suggest listening to I Won't Go Home Without You, She Will Be Loved, Harder To Breathe, This Love, Never Gonna Leave This Bed, Sweetest Goodbye, and Sunday Morning if you want to hear Maroon Five at their very best. I mean, I like most of their modern songs, too, but this is when they really shined.
If Adam Levine went solo, I don't think anyone would notice.
I didn't even know Maroon 5 released a new single.
I thought he was solo for years!
Alper Simsek I deadass thought he did
Maroon 5 is technically just Adam Levine at this point, who are the other members anyway
Maroon 5 is about as much of a 'band' as Tears For Fears was in the early 90s. Main difference being TFF actually put out decent songs, even when it was just Roland. Seriously, can anyone outside of the most diehard sheep that actually likes that 5 Morons horseshit name one member of the band OTHER than Adam Levine? Don't even get me started on The Voice.

Wow, ALL of these songs left absolutely no impact on me at all.

Pantone's color of the year should have been Pantone 16-0906 TPX Simply Taupe. We were not inventive and imaginative. This year's pop songs were just as boring and needed help from other genres to makes them even remotely interesting.
Also notice all the features. It's like the singers aren't even strong enough to stand by their own, so they ALL need help.
Most memeerable part of any of those songs is whatever the fuck was going on in that kanye song. Though they put it into rewind so I guess that meme is dead now.
High hopes is the only thing on this “list” (honourable mentions) that I completely disagree with. I love that song. I also didn’t just jump on the bandwagon, I genuinely liked it before it got all this radio play (although I do admit I don’t like it being played on the radio so much)
Heather Heather & Heather the stupid drug song was the worst think i‘ve ever heard tho, why need drug PSAs when you can just let her sing?

Actually, a lot of these songs sound like they were made with that same toy.

That's probably actually why Adam Levine Wrote it
So true
Laurie Ann When I first heard that Maroon 5 was doing a collab with Cardi B, I thought it was going to be a banger. But when I heard it, it was a ballot, and I hated it. But I’ll give it this, Cardi’s singing voice is alright, if that’s anything.

Maroon 5 is basically the "Family Guy" of pop music. When they first started out, they were by no means a great band, but there was a small amount of things they did that were decent. But as the years went on, it just got progressively worse and worse to the point where people (and I'm pretty sure Adam himself) just want them gone
If Adam wants Maroon 5 gone, then what's keeping them going?
MONEY
They are the posterboys for mailing-it-in. They were never anything special but were once a decent pop band. Now it's just auto-tuned Adam and a random artist thrown-in by marketing doing overproduced crap cobbled-together by a pop-music assembly-line.
James Cook and yet somehow people still love them and want them around
The difference is that family guy has leaned into its absurd premise: namely that your supposed to hate almost every character on the show but especially the Griffifes, hence why Peter gets beat up so often. Maroon 5 has nothing that clever
Todd, don't panic but I think voldemort is on the back of your hood
Repulsethemonkey So true it’s like he got two faces
At the Disco
I'm hoping the low tempo, minimalist production, drop-heavy, trap-inspired quagmire pop music has fallen into is a trend that dies soon. The club shit of 2010-2011 and the EDM boom of 2013-2015 may have been obnoxious, but they had a few bangers and actually invoked some form of emotional response.
The last 2-3 years have just been crushingly boring. So few songs I can think of that I actually enjoyed or were even memorably bad. My worst fear is that something even worse will come along and I'll look back on this era with nostalgic fondness.
Honestly something like "Like a G6" would be a welcome relief at this point.
I'm honestly debating whether you could blame this on the success of Royals, or at least the part about the low tempo and minimalist production.
Every time I turn on the radio in the car, I'm afraid I'm gonna fall asleep at the wheel. Billboard needs a defibrillator stat.

They weren't all super popular, but KOD, Hoodie SZN, Dicaprio 2 and the countless songs inspired by X were legendary. KOD was yet another amazing featureless platinum by J Cole. Hoodie SZN and Dicaprio 2 will finally show the mainstream the talent of JID and Boogie. X's death has given rise to some of the other incredibly talented artists in members only.

What's so damn funny about Maroon 5 now is that when you see their videos, you'll often see the other band members in the background and they'll often have guitars, and drums, and everything. But the music is entirely drum machines, and synths without a single damn guitar or acoustic drum to be heard. I'm really beginning to think that the actual BAND Maroon 5 doesn't exist any more and that Adam Levine just brings in these guys to just... stand there in the back behind him while he mimes singing at the mic. And he most likely just has some.. producer make music for him somewhere, and not the band. As a matter of fact, I'm willing to bet that now, none of the rest of the band actually PLAYS any instruments on the albums at ALL. It's just Adam and some.. engineer who writes and records the music in a room full of synths, loops, drum machines, and then they fly the rest of the guys in for videos when they're needed.
They are his version of backup dancers.
That is one of the saddest things I've read in a minute.
@@ordinarychef Right? It's like he's a solo artist in denial of being a solo artist. The actual band hasn't been present in any of the music in quite some time. The last video was REALLY sad because it just showed the guys with the guitar and bass and drums just standing and sitting there.. and there's no damn guitars or real drums in the song. It's all drum loops and synth loops and just... loops. That's the whole song. The guys were just... decorations awkwardly posing with their instruments that weren't even IN the song. And this isn't the first time that this has happened. There are other pop band/artists bands who are getting guilty of this as well, where the actual band seems to have... disappeared and the music seems to have turned into loops and synths produced by an engineer in a studio, but yet, in videos, they're showing the band playing. And the music doesn't feature the instruments. This appears to be a trend. Maroon 5 is one of the most obvious where the guy is a blatant solo artist now, but there's other bands that have albums out now where they faked the band too.

InkHeart17 that’s not fully true. It’s “switching bodies with someone more famous is awesome...as long as they’re male AND ETHNIC!” The only ones he’s excited to be are Chris Brown and DJ Khalid. Ed Sheeran’s line is “it’s way less cool than being Chris Brown was”.

Was a huge Kanye fan up until 808s & Heartbreak. That started my "meh" train with Kanye where sometimes I'd like a verse or single, but I'd never buy a full album again. Then 2018 happened . . . Kanye please get on meds, I really hate seeing you destroy yourself and your legacy. #neverMeetYourHeroes
Arturo Garza that's me with ready for it
I can get that, but imagine that you took the first ten seconds or so of that song, where it's playing those hype power chords, and then you made that into an actual fucking song. I think you're right that it manages to be compelling, but imagine if it also managed to be good as well.
benepla - I genuinely like "Look What You Made Me Do", just because I really like bratty, petty revenge songs. It's cathartic for me to listen to.
Plus, I don't think the song was that sincere. I think Taylor was trying to pull a "Blank Space" again where she leans into her Mean Girl persona that the media has been depicting her as and playing it as a character. But I don't think the song successfully conveyed well enough that it was a joke, unlike "Blank Space".
I'm curious: how many of these songs (both this video and the one before it) have multiple people singing in them? I swear, pop music has gotten so disinteresting that they can only make hits by pulling in multiple stars into the mix just to hide the boringness of the songs.
It says a lot when the Minecraft parody of the Lil Pump song, called "Don't craft a Diamond Hoe", is 1000 times better than the original.
the original is a joke song lmao.

Real talk though does it even count as a hit since it's moreso just a viral thing? If this constitutes as a hit then so does the Overwatch song.
Man I agree with number 1 so hard. And the worst part about the song is the fact that it's obviously retail playlist's favorite right now. It only recently got replaced with Happier which is at least something. But for half the year I had to listen to Girls Like You at least 3 times a shift and every single time it came on every worker in the store groaned so...
The only thing I'm surprised about is that The Middle by Zedd isn't on here. Only because we seemed to be in sync with the worst song of this year and The Middle just drains on me and is empty and boring and the only line I can remember is "Why can't you just meet me in the middle, I'm losing my mind just a little" and I think it was just another case of retail overplay but I tried listening to it out of work and it's one of those ones I just can't get through. Maybe it was just not bad enough for your list but hey it could be on your best list, we'll see.
he said in the review that, while not a fan, he actually really likes the production. I'm more surprised the other song he talked about in that review, "meant to be", wasn't on here.
@@samuelesalvatico7259 I actually somehow completely missed his review on it so I'm gonna go actually watch that one >> (thank you)
You're welcome!
@@samuelesalvatico7259 Am I the only crazed maniac who actually likes both songs. More so “The Middle” than “Meant to Be.”
" I love it " was made specifically for the porn awards.. i think it was meant to be stupid.
It's stupid even by "made to be stupid" metrics
The song does its job though
Even more than that though, its just so gross... It kinda exceeds stupid and lands into the territory of "makes me want to flinch whenever its on". I actually loved the beat of it, and its a bit of a testament to the lyrics that it was THAT cringe-worthy.
@@diyaarora7126 Once again, it's a meme song made for the pornhub awards
They were dressed as Roblox rejects. If you told me the song was deliberately meant to be stupid I'd 100% believe you.

High Hopes dishonorable mention, immediate reaction is "fight me!!" lol your opinion is fine, I just really like that song.
Maroon 5 gets #1? at this point in this decade that is not surprising honestly
I like it too but it's definitely not Panic! At The Disco's best.
@@HennaK17 mmm yeah, I can agree with that (I don't know about y'all but honestly Time to Dance is my favorite) but High Hopes is a jam for me right now so lol
Same here, but yeah if you don't like it I do understand, it can seem annoying to others. And yeah it's not panic's best.
@@relientlykrazie6011 Panic at their worst still blow this whole shit show of a year out of the water. High Hopes actually sounds like music and has energy and emotion, unlike just about every other hit this year.
@@ThePi314Man heh I can't disagree with that except for the insinuation High Hopes is their worst? unsure if that was the implication or not lol. I am curious though, what do people think is the worst Panic song? I haven't heard their whole discography but I've heard a bit but I can't say worst but I'll cast New Perspective as my vote (not bad just kinda meh)
2018 - The only year I've ever spent looking forward to the Christmas music to take over the radio
Levi Williams Same
I found a gem this year. There is a souja boy and Maria Carey mashup online and hilarious. Also Christmas at ground zero.
Just the fact that there's something happy and energetic means the world, even if I've heard all the songs before.
Freaky Friday is the Disco Duck of the 2010s.
OH GOD! I had to be reminded that existed...
Except Disco Duck is actually funny.
Give some credit to Rick Dees, he had the common courtesy to stick to his true calling (being a radio dj) after Disco Duck's failed follow-up, Disgorilla.
Lil Dicky keeps coming back despite nobody liking him.
Its really sad to see how far Maroon 5 has fallen off... I still think Songs About Jane is one of the greatest albums ever recorded, and I’ll die on that hill, and hell, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long and Hands All Over are even pretty good. But, man... they really did just give up on being musicians, didn’t they? Super disappointing as someone who used to consider themselves a fan. They’re just so... bad now.
The only good Maroon 5 content at the moment is King For Another Day Adam Levine.. that's it.
I agree. Nuff said.
@@thedemon4780 Yeah, really. I agree. They need to hang it up and just stop. They'll never make anything as good as they used to 17-18 years ago. That's it. The last song they made that was even worth listening to was "Don't Want To Know", and that was because of Kendrick's verse. The song itself was annoyingly boring. "Sugar" was ok, but, everyone quickly forgot about it, but the high pitched voice thing is funny to do to annoy people. But, as sad as it is for me to say, they'll never have a song or album as good as "She Will Be Loved", "Sunday Morning", "This Love", or shit, even "Payphone", with Wiz Khalifa. Oh well, the songs of theirs that were really good, are still good to listen to. And their "new" shit? It'll be forgotten soon enough, and their good shit will still be good shit, for like, a few more years or a while, at least. But, if I'm wrong, I'll gladly eat my own words. I've done it before, and I'll do it again in the future.
I actually enjoyed a lot of their pop stuff. Hell, the "V" album is pretty fun if you're just looking for some catchy pop with good hooks. But after that, they really just stopped trying and it's very evident looking at Levine that he does not care at all about what he's singing
@@cityboy2092 This man gets it. After “V” everything went to shit.

So I went into Carl's Jr. and these songs played:
1. Someone you Loved (*vomits*)
2. Filthy (Filthy)
3. Idk what the song was, it was just bad.
what a disgusting playlist. 3/10, would not recommend.
Sorry you had to go through that, but, I agree. 2018 had the WORST songs. Sorry, I meant; being AT Carl's Jr?! Why would ANYONE go there? Nah, really, dude/lady, i am so sorry you had to hear more of "Moron 5: The Sellout Years, Pt. 45", and hear more from Justin Timberlake, who's name I'm struggling to remember, which is a shame, because he's more talented then Adam Levine & The Forgotten 4. I don't even know what that 3rd song is you're talking about, dude/lady. Sounds awful though. These songs were so shitty, that I can't even remember them. They're so shitty, that I couldn't disagree about "River", that song that Eminem did with Ed Sheeran being on the list, and Eminem is like; my FAVORITE rapper ever. And I remember when Maroon 5 DIDN'T suck, and were one of my favorite bands, and Levine wasn't a lifeless, cgi bearded mannequin, or am I confusing him with the lead singer of Gonad Migraines? Or were they Insomnia Dagger? It's hard to remember their name. The whole year of 2018 gets a 2.5/10 from me. 2019 gets a 6/10 from me. And 2020 so far, gets a 3/10. Maybe, if we're still around by the end of this already shitty year, I'll raise it to maybe, a 4.5, or a 5, maybe 6 out of 10... maybe, but maybe not. Not sure. Sorry for the super long message, dude/lady.

Bleachers has been making some good music, and they're basically fun. 2.0.
I really want Todd to review and react to anything from trench but nothing got big enough to catch his attention...
Two Door Cinema Club and Rainbow Kitten Surprise are always good
To this day I have some sort of violent, physical reaction upon hearing Filthy. It's the type of music I expect to hear when I'm dragged to Hell for my sins.
Jasmine whatchu gonna do with all that meat ?
I recently heard "Filthy" play inside a Carl's Jr. I had never heard the song in full, only the fragmented parts in Todd's review. The song in full is even worse than Todd's review makes it sound.
I genuinely got so happy to see Maroon 5 on here, it feels like a Twilight Zone episode to see how many people are still invested in their shitty music
It is like a twilight zone episode that they became a hit factory. they pulled off a Black Eyed Peas...
One crappy song doesn't make a band bad.
@@LaineMann It isn't one crappy song, it's every song they've released since 2011

Wow... i mean i'm a pretty hateful person i can hate on pretty much everything but just because you don't like the band doesn't mean they are bad. I mean yeah i don't like there music but there music ain't bad just because you got some sand up your vag
I thought Freaky Friday would be #1. But I knew it'd be top 5. At least you said it was the most loathesome.
The part "But I love myself." "That's the key, we're switching back." was my pick for worst 2 seconds. Yeah, the big problem we can all agree has plagued Chris Brown's life and career all these years... is that he doesn't sufficiently realizes what a great person he is.
I didn't know it existed until I watched this video and I hate it, a lot.
Lil Dicky is a pretty good rapper when he's not collabing. I've been following him since 2012 or so, its a shame Freaky Friday was the song that charted and not something off of his album.
I cannot believe that Lil Baby introduced himself to mainstream audiences with “wa wa wa bitch I’m Lil Baby” and then proceeded to become one of the biggest artists of the next 5 years
Power move honestly
as an avid fan of Kanye, and as someone who considers The Life of Pablo one of their favorite albums ever, that Pablo Picasso SNL comparison was accurate as fuck
2018's songs were so boring!

Wasn't that bad

Everytime that "Broken" song plays I no joke always think it is MGMT XD and then I am like "Oh wait."

@@bagelq2028 it sounds like a cheap ripoff of Kids. It also is about as boring as a corporate cash grab version of Kids would wind up being, plus, if it ISN'T a corporate cashgrab, that makes it worse for just how much it SOUNDS like Kids.

Okay but 0:55 is one of my favourite moments from 2018, the outfits, the fact that they so obviously dont want to be there, the censorship of 90% of the song. It's beautiful
High hopes being honorable mention? I’m not even a fan but that was definitely not a bad song
It was okay but not great
It sucked.
Wasn't a good song either
KidSnivy96 shouldn’t be on the worst
It isn't on the worst list. It's an honarable mention, and even then High Hopes doesn't even sound like a Panic! at the Disco song.
Sounds like generic pop.
I can't believe Filthy came out this year. I thought that was last year or even longer ago
I actually did completely forget about Filthy AND Justin Timberlake. This year felt extra long, but not THAT long.
i remembered say something ONE TIME about a month ago, and then promptly forgot about it again. but filthy just totally dropped out of my mind
"Eww, what is this? No."
Hands down, the best line in the video.
But I love that song :(
I don’t know how I never made the MGMT/lovelytheband connection until now
Chad Copenhagen I made that connection immediately. The connection I hadn’t made till now was the Foster the People/lovelytheband one. Listening to it again, it’s crazy how much plagiarism “Broken” got away with.
I made the connection almost immediately. The song felt like every indie pop song released from the early 2010’s mixed into and blender with absolutely terrible lyrics (mental illness is not something to bond over).
So... I the only one reminded of Scott Pilgrim VS. The World by that song?
I love MGMT from my childhood, I need to know what's happened because I'm so lost lol
Edit: omg I know now, I hope they sue them
I didn’t mind i love it
But girls like you is absolutely the worst song of the 2010s hand down
:Edit April 27th 2021
I forgot i I commented this in 2018/2019 and I’m gonna say my opinion still stands (to a lesser degree however.) I actually have been starting to hate maroon 5 and girls like you way more personally (especially after the Super Bowl performance a few years back.) With “I love it” in my opinion the song is quite lackluster (especially for Kanye west.) And in my personal opinion lil pump and Nikki manage ruined the song. Overall I just wanted to express my current options on theses two songs. Thank you for replying and liking god bless!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! it's a song about girl empowerment. But they chose Cardi B who is a former prostitute and stripper...wow
no, i love it was awful.
I love that song
Why tho ._.
They are both dogshit
@@hwfq34fajw9foiffawdiufhuaiwfhw How many likes does that song have? :)
I predict that Thank U, Next will be in Todd’s top 10, possibly top 5, on his best list, considering how often he seems to bring that song up in, more or less, positive ways. As for other predictions, maybe an X song in the lower end of the top 10, and while this isn’t a prediction, hopefully Sicko Mode is in the top 10, since that was probably my personal favorite of 2018.
i think ariana might be all over this list cuz she followed the lowkey r&b-beat pop trend but in a way that didn’t make me wanna kill myself
irken24 well... at least it wasn’t on his worst list, or the honorable mentions for the worst list.
I'm still amazed that Ariana has managed to survive 2018's genocide of all pop stars with personality.
Ariana Grande has officially become the only pop star that matters. And I hopped onboard the Ariana train this year as a result, because there was nothing else.
I wouldn't be surprised if Breathin was somewhere on his top 10
I don't think "Thank U Next" will make it -- not based on its quality, but just because the bumper songs never make it into the top 10. With the exception of . . . god, 2016's worst, maybe? That "I don't fuck with you" song, which I don't think really counts because he only included it in the top *because* he used it as his bumper, and hearing it come up over and over while editing made it grow on him. I think it's kinda the exception that proves the rule, though.
Unimaginative Dragons[sic] sound like overglorified Christian rock.
