The Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2019 (Pt. 1)

Comments

I substitute taught for years, and your description made me spit out my soda. Thank you, sir. #accurate

I've watched the video (Parts 1 and 2) and I still don't know. (SPOILERS FOR PART 2!) My best guesses, just based on the color palette and the act of running is 'a lot' or 'Intro'.

Franco del Rosario

Can you do a review of yummy?

Once in college around 2013 or so I overheard with no context at all a couple of girls at a nearby study table start break out into the Hoedown Throwdown. I gave them a look of complete puzzlement because I couldn't immediately recall where I knew the song from, and I feigned ignorance to them even as it dawned on me. I think Todd might be right that the song may actually be very influential among a certain generation.

Having watched both parts, I feel like you really hate that Taylor Swift and Justin Beiber are still around lol, and I certainly think Justin should go away if he has finally decided to stop caring about his music, what with the stupid single Yummy he just released recently. But even though I don't agree with some of the picks in this list, you're still a likeable respectable person who deserves to have a career on Youtube.

Yea when I first heard that Blanco Brown song I was like "... No. I know what this is, and no."

So I made it through the entirety of 2019 without hearing "Old Town Road" but now Todd had to go and ruin that for me. So I pulled up the music video. The video is actually pretty hilarious and deserves an award. But the song itself? I ended up staring at my computer monitor in disbelief wondering WTF I was listening to. No, just, no.

What is the art a refrence to? I cant tell and i feel like an idiot

What a weird coincidence that one of their albums crossed my desk at work literally two days ago, sending me on a Cobra Starship YouTube retrospective, and then Todd mentions it here.

Yay! Here we go!

Regarding whether "Old Town Road" started a meaningful trend: I would check out "Shine" by 17 Memphis. Created by two people with experience in both the country and pop industries (one of them produced Kiaara's "Gold") and it really does blend them in a really unique way. I'm looking forward to more good blending of country with other genres.

I'm glad that my taste aligns with yours, except when it doesn't, in which case you suck.

Panic! At the Disco is Meat Loaf for millennials. This is not an indictment or a praise. It's just an observation.

OMG Cobra Starship. I've been listening to their first 2 albums and it's so funny how much they talk about being famous and all their haters. Oh man 2007 was a different time truely

Petty Officer No Class

I have had a crappy beginning of the year, and I am so looking forward to these videos.

i spent the entirety of 2019 warming up to posty i truly like circles which is absolutely wild

i'm with Spectrum Pulse on #10, that song is hot garbage IMO, Urie totally flushed any potential PATD had left right down the shitter and now I expect nothing but trash from him from now on. Circles also sucked ass, Post Malone is still a lame hack. I for one don't regret Iggy in the least and neither do a lot of people.

RedBedroomRecords

...I'm a substitute teacher. That hit a bit close.

Matt Monitto

it's time baby! spoilers are below! unless patreon doesn't hide them right! glad to see happy todd back again! i agree that 2019 was pretty good, though not my favorite of the decade either #10: oh no. i'm sorry but i hate this one. tastes! #9: Yeehaw. I'm in the crowd that's meh about the song but love the meme so it's worth having around. #8: I'm ready for this entire list to just be stuff I don't really for at this point. If there's no Lizzo on this lst I'm gonna be. A sadness. #7: The lyrics of this song are pretty solid and the beat is okay and nothing it does anything for me! Wow. #6: Oh yeah finally one I like! This song has such a great groove. And instrumental in general. Very good melancholic stuff. to be continued...

Crow

I'm a member of the Post Malone hater squad, but I love Circles in spite of myself

YAY! Thanks Todd, hope you get to relax after this.

YESSS! Thank you Todd!
