the only thing they ever played during my mental hospital stay was trippie redd unfortunately. some people liked kid cudi bc i remember man on the moon 3 came out when i was staying there.
I once sang "Let Her Go" at my school's talent show. Performing the last 2 minutes of the song was a nightmare. Due to the awkwardly long instrumental and repeating chorus, I unconsciously panicked and got nervous. My legs, voice, were shaking, my movements went pale. I looked at my crush in the audience, catching the slightest ounce of confidence I will ever get, singing the final chorus of the song (which was an acapella) I suffered to a career-ending voice crack. As I stepped down stage I can hear the silent chuckles my friends and family had. The desperation I had to create a time machine still lingers in my head. I will never listen to the song ever again.

I'm honestly surprised how it took so long for Weeknd to go number 1. He's been making charting songs for yrs. I feel like the only reason songs like starboy isn't number 1 is cause of the explicit lyrics
HUMBLE. is like the most easily accessible kendrick song i think, especially for non english natives like me like his flow while not his best still clears 90% of radio filler and is also fairly memorable with the chorus
@@beechboiii to be completely honest with you i've never seen it, and considering how yt views don't count towards spotify obviously i think the music video could be considered negligeable, can't be 100% sure of it though
I think that Bohemian Rhapsody opinion is honestly completely understandable, I personally think it's a fantastic song but I have had the same experience listening to some other really well known and loved songs. Not everything has to be your cup of tea even if you appreciate how well it was made
@@infinityentity yes, but there are other songs here, that came out in the mid 2000s if memory serves, so that would be a difference of roughly 30 years.

i hated closer by the chainsmokers for years and then i saw halsey perform it live, acoustically, and it had SO much more emotion in it, you could tell she really meant the lyrics in that performance and honestly it made me hate the original version more in comparison

Very proud of The Weeknd. Blinding Lights is an S+ tier track. Very happy I heard that track live last weekend He is one of the few artists who I think deserves every stream/bit of popularity they get
100% The only 3 songs in this entire video i actually care about as anything more than background filler (that came out this century) are both of Weeknd's, Blinding Lights and Starboy and then Don't Start Now. I suppose Humble as well - even the most mainstream friendly Kendrick is still head and shoulders above most everything else
@@CaptainMizuki how can a song literally do anything? it has no physical substance with which to perform an action. at best, it could be said to vibrate, as the soundwaves it's composed of move thru the air - though i'd argue that's not even true, as 'song' is just a label we use to describe certain collections of soundwaves, not the sound itself
@@CaptainMizuki uh, you said the song literally sucks.

in middle school gym class the teacher would make us run around the gym to thunder by imagine dragons and every time he said thunder we had to do push ups, which makes the song even worse by giving it a terrible memory for hearing the song for the first time

I really loved this mini series, probably my favorite videos from you. It has also made me remember two very important things: 1. BRADARMY 2. mainstream =/= bad
mad respect for acknowledging problematic artists w facts and a serious tone while still being honest about the music. people think you can only choose respecting everything or nothing about an artist but the music industry is not black and white. unfortunately IMO that travis song is like a little fire (sigh) but the mans a flaming a$$hole at the same time and it makes the music hard to listen to or enjoy :/ ps the ariana grande song (7 rings) is literally just a song that's already been done with different lyrics made into a " runaway capitalism is bad and i know it but i'm still gonna overpurchase stupid shit because i don't care at all" (and i'm a fan of some of her others stuff so i promise i'm not biased) edit: "say you won't let go" by james arthur -- "someone like you" by adele -- "the man who can't be moved" by the script -- kill me :)

@@yourcommentisntfunnyv2709 bruh i'm allowed to think that asshole celebrities ruin their music for me, but keep getting overly defensive and emotional over a guy you've never met that would sell you for a piece of cheese despite being grossly wealthy lmao, all because you have the hots for his black and white apology videos on insta and his oversaturated vocals
I unironically used to love OneRepublic's 'Counting Stars; and 1-Direction's 'Story of my Life' when I was in elementary school. Granted, this was also back when I acted all sad and mopey after getting grounded for saying a swear word in class, but still
oh god, back when I was in (primary) school I used to love literally EVERYTHING on the radio. I genuinely don't think there was a single song I actually disliked back then. (I haven't actually gone to school since I was 9 which hopefully explains that but still. I feel like if I did still go to school I would have nyever gotten into Vocaloid and would still love everything on the radio nyow though.)
Honestly circles just gives me mad nostalgia because I just remember listening to that album when it came out playing red dead redemption 2 online when the roles update had just come out and it was honestly so relaxing
I was a lil afraid this was gonna be boring, with all the ed sheeran and tik tok saturation, but naw. On top of that the 21 pilots segment was incredible lol. You really finding a great pace with the editing on these longer vids.
brad, it’s crazy to me but i’m just now realizing that i have literally been subbed to you for over 5 years now it must be. I remember first discovering you when I was a freshman in high school and now I graduated this past year. I remember always having such a love hate relationship with you back then because I thought (and still think) you were hilarious but I was a twenty one pilots and post malone mega fan and seeing you drag on them so hard hurt my soul back in the day. But I just wanted to thank you for keeping me entertained throughout the years and I love the vids! keep it up!
I saw them live a few months ago, I still like majority of their music. But during the concert, Dan went on a rant about how it’s ok to go to therapy and you should never feel ashamed to get help. It was a good message, and everyone cheered. Then he followed it up with Thunder, their worst song that makes my mental health decline even further
@@Broski-Brodski i went to a mercury concert as well, and i loved most of it. playing radioactive and thunder in public should be considered a human rights violation and cruel and unusual punishment, though.
I watched a bit of this live as background noise for video games, but when I heard your recovery story I paid extra attention. I know it’s hard enough entertaining people in a live setting, but being that transparent takes some guts. I watched your other video about it too, and felt the same feelings even more after you went into detail. Although I may not agree with some of your takes or humor sometimes, I appreciate you more than I ever thought I would as a creator. Thank you for making these videos. Unlike Fantano, I like to watch your detailed opinions and often don’t watch the end ratings. Keep on doing what you love!
I love videos like this, cuz it opens my eyes to how different people’s taste in music, and Brad’s commentary helps open my eyes to a certain song’s flaws. I will still listen to some of my “NPC music” but let it be known, I can recognize good music too😂
Ayyeee Hozier is on the list. Not surprised it's Take Me to Church considering how wildly popular that song was the year it came out but he has so many incredible songs that just haven't gotten much attention
"I thought chat would hate this song" - chatter referring to Take Me To Church Why would a progressive chat hate a progressive song for being progressive, it's a banger anyway
Just realized that through all of the list rankings you've done recently, dua lipa is consistently one of the sole bright spots throughout each of these playlists
'Who listens to [All of Me]?' made me chuckle because this was the theme my parents renewed their vows to in like, 2015. My dad thought it was a perfect song to describe my mom and I heard a lot about it. So I guess your answer is people who have found true love?
The only reason the glass animals song isn't a "turn off the radio" song for me is because tik tok used this song for puppy/kitten videos and my brain now associates it with a good thing
shoutout to the person in chat early on who said "i feel like i'm in target." i could not stop thinking of it as the rest of the video went on. so many of these songs really are targetcore
Words cannot express the anger that fills me when I hear dance monkey. No other song makes me want to find the hardest object nearby and bash my head against it like that song does.
I heard "I Ain't Worried" so many times on the radio but never realized it was OneRepublic until a woman called in and requested it, also didn't like it before or after learning it
XO Tour Life's production is next level. It's so good, and the hook is likeable enough that it still ends up being a good song overall imo, even if the verses are nonsense
watche the whole 5 hours stream and somehow i managed to watch this entire video all the way through without getting bored i absolutely love brad and this channel
Fun ass video as always, Brad. Even though I was there for a decent chunk of the stream I still watched this all the way through and it didn't feel at all close to the length that it is. Keep up the great work! LUKAS GRAHAAAAAM!!!!!!!
some L takes here but Brad's take on Heat Waves was great, chat wants to be special for calling it mid, but the fact that the chorus alone can boost the song that high is insane
I’m so mad that Dance Monkey was so overplayed during the beginning of my high school years now I have so many good memories connected to it just cus it was constantly playing in the background. I hate the song but it gives me a one of a kind feel and I wish that was attached to a better song
the whole issue with heat waves is that glass animals is absolutely one of the most talented bands out there rn. look at how to be a human being and they just have banger after banger of creative ass stuff. with heat waves they bring their creativity and talent to the chorus but go total pop sellout on the verses. its like they tried their best to make a generic pop song but still managed to include some of their talent. wild
its sad that heat waves had to be their most popular thing so far because as you said their previous stuff is so good and the comparison between it to that song is just :/ yknow
a gretat video bradley...: i must say... i enjoyed it very much.... i've watched it a few times already... & i must say that it is in my top 10 youtube vids of all time... thanks a lot man... make more content like this... & we will stay on good terms

I think this video is pretty good and overall I think Brad is pretty entertaining, but his opinions on Goosebumps and Jocelyn Flores show a little bit of a double standard in my opinion. Brad gives his opinion on Kendrick's verse on Goosebumps which is basically "you can't expect him to be good," and "I prefer a vibe that fits rather than decent writing." And then he listens to Jocelyn Flores where he says "The song is too short and the writing is bad." He does compliment the emotion, but apparently that's not enough to save the song like it does for Kendrick's verse. I'm not a massive fan of X's music but I do like both of these songs and I think that Brad is overvaluing Kendrick and downplaying X because of their styles of music and not because of their actual talent.
honestly "wake me up" and "bohemian rhapsody" are by far the best songs on this list and are the only ones i could actually consider listening to on a consistent basis
brad, i disagree with most things you say, i enjoy AJR, stressed out AND thunder but your channel is still entertaining and i'll continue watching good job on that
"All of me" sends me straight into the worst part of my teenage years. That song sounds like entering limbo. It sounds like the back rooms. It's a mouthful of stale chips. That song has a special place of hatred in my heart and I despise it to my core. So thanks lol I didn't think I would get into this video but I'm glad I found your content (:
all it takes to have a popular song is to say you care about something/ someone, that way, a listener can say, "thanks for caring about me, person who doesn't know me"
There was a point in my life where my parents grounded me and my only entertainment was my record player with radio stations, so for about a month my alarm clock was sicko mode because the station would play it at like 6am
“Who is listening to thunder by imagine dragons?” Children. Children are. Imagine dragons is a band for children. I Hate Imagine Dragons. My 8 and 6 year old children though, it’s their absolute favorite band. They request to listen to them almost daily.
“Shallows” is from a super depressing movie called “A Star Is Born”. You kinda have to watch the movie to get the song and why it’s structured the way it is, because it’s sort of context-based. But Bradley Cooper’s vocals are definitely mid throughout the whole thing (the movie and the song lol), so I get it. Lady Gaga’s acting and musical performances made the whole movie, and I would prefer “Shallows” as a solo from her.
Just my hot take, but just because a song is slow, doesn't mean it's bad. "Lovely", while not my favorite song, is beautifully haunting. But your opinion is completely valid too.
I was watching this and while I was on "sorry" I got the video unavailable screen and I laughed because I thought it was the overlay thing brad does sometimes LMAO then I refresh the page and its gone
something I've never told anyone, but my highschool girlfriend broke up with me and let her go was the big track at the time, and she loved it. It's pleasing to see that my emotional distress at the breakup was not the only thing that made completely fucking hate this track, it really is that ass.
My one complaint is when you are ranking the literal MOST listened to songs and a complaint for "stressed out" was it being "overplayed"💀THEYRE all overplayed bruh
Reuploaded due to multiple issues. Leaving a like would mean the world to help the vid regain momentum
Sorry you had to deal with that, Braddy. I know the feeling.

Glad you were able to fix it as quick as you could! Always gonna give it a like.
damn it disappeard right under my ass as I was watching it.
I remember hearing dance monkey in a mental hospital like 20 times during my stay and I wonder how I ever made it out
See dance monkey makes you insane, so it cancels out the insanity you come in with
the only thing they ever played during my mental hospital stay was trippie redd unfortunately. some people liked kid cudi bc i remember man on the moon 3 came out when i was staying there.
it just makes people in the mental hospital realize that there are worse voices than the one in their heads😂
Welcome to the madhouse
Dance monkey is the most annoying song of the last few years that I've heard
I once sang "Let Her Go" at my school's talent show. Performing the last 2 minutes of the song was a nightmare. Due to the awkwardly long instrumental and repeating chorus, I unconsciously panicked and got nervous. My legs, voice, were shaking, my movements went pale. I looked at my crush in the audience, catching the slightest ounce of confidence I will ever get, singing the final chorus of the song (which was an acapella) I suffered to a career-ending voice crack. As I stepped down stage I can hear the silent chuckles my friends and family had. The desperation I had to create a time machine still lingers in my head. I will never listen to the song ever again.
That’s cold

@@Broski-Brodski i went to a mercury concert as well, and i loved most of it. playing radioactive and thunder in public should be considered a human rights violation and cruel and unusual punishment, though.
I genuinely cant tell it i actually dont hate these songs, or the fact i worked in retail for 5 years just made me tolerate them
the utter disgust i felt at the heat waves bit after suffering through retail being force fed this song
I dont like a single song on this list lol
@@laurenrenee949heat waves is a good somg
I watched a bit of this live as background noise for video games, but when I heard your recovery story I paid extra attention. I know it’s hard enough entertaining people in a live setting, but being that transparent takes some guts. I watched your other video about it too, and felt the same feelings even more after you went into detail. Although I may not agree with some of your takes or humor sometimes, I appreciate you more than I ever thought I would as a creator. Thank you for making these videos. Unlike Fantano, I like to watch your detailed opinions and often don’t watch the end ratings. Keep on doing what you love!
These are extremally entertaining. Please do other charts next
I love videos like this, cuz it opens my eyes to how different people’s taste in music, and Brad’s commentary helps open my eyes to a certain song’s flaws. I will still listen to some of my “NPC music” but let it be known, I can recognize good music too😂
Ayyeee Hozier is on the list. Not surprised it's Take Me to Church considering how wildly popular that song was the year it came out but he has so many incredible songs that just haven't gotten much attention
"I thought chat would hate this song" - chatter referring to Take Me To Church
Why would a progressive chat hate a progressive song for being progressive, it's a banger anyway
Because it's boring and sounds like a funeral.
👻👻👻👻
@@jeremyusreevu237 I agree with you
@@jeremyusreevu237 Jeremy just killed that person
If anything, they should hate it for being bad
Just realized that through all of the list rankings you've done recently, dua lipa is consistently one of the sole bright spots throughout each of these playlists
I have never seen someone hate Twenty One Pilots so much, and as a TOP fan, I am both hurt and somehow impressed
i like how as soon as u give u opinion ur chat switches up and d rides so hard
Brad’s videos have only been getting better and better.
The chorus to "better now" is probably one of the best chorus in the last decade even tho its so simple
I remember my niece was 6 at the time & was obsessed with Dance Monkey.. every car journey, it was on loop. Thems was dark times 👊😔
I can't get over how he talks about understanding and enjoying the vibe of a song and then immediately goes in to shit on Jocelyn Flores 💀
He is the biggest x hater fr
Agreed. I'm not a huge X fan, but I love the production to Jocelyn Flores
'Who listens to [All of Me]?' made me chuckle because this was the theme my parents renewed their vows to in like, 2015. My dad thought it was a perfect song to describe my mom and I heard a lot about it.
So I guess your answer is people who have found true love?
Or people who can't express their love except by memes
I love how you can make 2 hour videos and make them feel like they're 10 minutes
The only reason the glass animals song isn't a "turn off the radio" song for me is because tik tok used this song for puppy/kitten videos and my brain now associates it with a good thing
shoutout to the person in chat early on who said "i feel like i'm in target." i could not stop thinking of it as the rest of the video went on. so many of these songs really are targetcore
Words cannot express the anger that fills me when I hear dance monkey. No other song makes me want to find the hardest object nearby and bash my head against it like that song does.
I heard "I Ain't Worried" so many times on the radio but never realized it was OneRepublic until a woman called in and requested it, also didn't like it before or after learning it
As for Let Her Go, while it was big in the us it was much bigger in europe. This song was everywhere
NPCs around the world unite
@@benjiusofficial when you don't watch the video
XO Tour Life's production is next level. It's so good, and the hook is likeable enough that it still ends up being a good song overall imo, even if the verses are nonsense
watche the whole 5 hours stream and somehow i managed to watch this entire video all the way through without getting bored
i absolutely love brad and this channel
the jump from chainsmokers to queen is fuckin insane
Your editing and quality of your videos have improved so much just in the last few months it’s crazy, good job Bradley !!
I remember when Thunder came on the radio on the school bus, literally everyone would slap the seats to the kick/clap parts
Your school busses had a radio? Maybe all mine just didn't play theirs
i love your editing dude this shit has me entertained the whole time even tho i watched the stream lmao
awesome pfp
Fun ass video as always, Brad. Even though I was there for a decent chunk of the stream I still watched this all the way through and it didn't feel at all close to the length that it is. Keep up the great work!
LUKAS GRAHAAAAAM!!!!!!!
In only a short time, Blinding Lights will take its rightful spot at #1
Personally, my favourite Billie eilish song is the one at 1:19:24 called “perfect”
some L takes here but Brad's take on Heat Waves was great, chat wants to be special for calling it mid, but the fact that the chorus alone can boost the song that high is insane
Exactly what I thought, chat has objectively the worst take
I’m so mad that Dance Monkey was so overplayed during the beginning of my high school years now I have so many good memories connected to it just cus it was constantly playing in the background. I hate the song but it gives me a one of a kind feel and I wish that was attached to a better song
the whole issue with heat waves is that glass animals is absolutely one of the most talented bands out there rn. look at how to be a human being and they just have banger after banger of creative ass stuff. with heat waves they bring their creativity and talent to the chorus but go total pop sellout on the verses. its like they tried their best to make a generic pop song but still managed to include some of their talent. wild
its sad that heat waves had to be their most popular thing so far because as you said their previous stuff is so good and the comparison between it to that song is just :/ yknow
I was very excited for part 2! Really enjoy watching this channel :^)
U can literally see how the soul is drained out of this guy, he gets whiter and whiter over the course of this video
Bradley be like: “The sound of this song is garbage and I can’t even make it all the way through I think it’s pretty good”
a gretat video bradley...: i must say... i enjoyed it very much.... i've watched it a few times already... & i must say that it is in my top 10 youtube vids of all time...
thanks a lot man... make more content like this... & we will stay on good terms
I went to Fleet Foxes live when they came to Utah (first show of the tour!), and it was fantastic!

@@Purkinje90 Oh wow, some of my favorites are on there. Must’ve been a lovely concert.
thank you for spitting that info about copyright I didn’t know that
I think this video is pretty good and overall I think Brad is pretty entertaining, but his opinions on Goosebumps and Jocelyn Flores show a little bit of a double standard in my opinion.
Brad gives his opinion on Kendrick's verse on Goosebumps which is basically "you can't expect him to be good," and "I prefer a vibe that fits rather than decent writing." And then he listens to Jocelyn Flores where he says "The song is too short and the writing is bad." He does compliment the emotion, but apparently that's not enough to save the song like it does for Kendrick's verse.
I'm not a massive fan of X's music but I do like both of these songs and I think that Brad is overvaluing Kendrick and downplaying X because of their styles of music and not because of their actual talent.
I was in basic training when Top Gun 2 came out, and I still fucking heard "I Ain't Worried" like 12 times
Honestly I would love to see the entre 20 minute stressed out rant uploaded as a separate video
honestly "wake me up" and "bohemian rhapsody" are by far the best songs on this list and are the only ones i could actually consider listening to on a consistent basis
I remember my 5th grade talent show was littered with covers of “All of Me” and the cup song 😭
brad, i disagree with most things you say, i enjoy AJR, stressed out AND thunder
but your channel is still entertaining and i'll continue watching good job on that
You seem such a happy person
i disagree with brad on a lot of things, but i still love his content
Legit had zero idea who AJR was before your channel and now I realize most of their songs I thought were 21 pilot songs for the longest time.
Even tho i disagree with a lot of ur opinions about these songs i have to say u r wildly entertaining as a music reviewer
I legit got a car commercial ad while watching this video and I thought you just skipped to a different song until i looked up.
"All of me" sends me straight into the worst part of my teenage years. That song sounds like entering limbo. It sounds like the back rooms. It's a mouthful of stale chips. That song has a special place of hatred in my heart and I despise it to my core. So thanks lol
I didn't think I would get into this video but I'm glad I found your content (:
First time I heard Leon On it was being played by a female treo of street performers. I got goosebumps so hard my hair almost fell out lol
Yaaay! Was watching the first upload and I was afraid it got taken down for copyright. So happy its back. 😁
all it takes to have a popular song is to say you care about something/ someone, that way, a listener can say, "thanks for caring about me, person who doesn't know me"
There was a point in my life where my parents grounded me and my only entertainment was my record player with radio stations, so for about a month my alarm clock was sicko mode because the station would play it at like 6am
Blinding Lights best pop song of the last 10 years, no 🧢
I went to fleet foxes recently as well, such an incredible concert
“Who is listening to thunder by imagine dragons?”
Children. Children are. Imagine dragons is a band for children.
I Hate Imagine Dragons. My 8 and 6 year old children though, it’s their absolute favorite band. They request to listen to them almost daily.
this is so true why did I not think about it this way before
my little sister who is now 10 used to love believer two years ago
1:14:32 genuinely haven't laughed that hard in a while, thank you Bradley I needed that
“Shallows” is from a super depressing movie called “A Star Is Born”. You kinda have to watch the movie to get the song and why it’s structured the way it is, because it’s sort of context-based. But Bradley Cooper’s vocals are definitely mid throughout the whole thing (the movie and the song lol), so I get it. Lady Gaga’s acting and musical performances made the whole movie, and I would prefer “Shallows” as a solo from her.
Just my hot take, but just because a song is slow, doesn't mean it's bad. "Lovely", while not my favorite song, is beautifully haunting. But your opinion is completely valid too.
Another amazing video Brad. Been loving the content recently so thank you!
Loved this vid and part one, thanks brad! :D
I was watching this and while I was on "sorry" I got the video unavailable screen and I laughed because I thought it was the overlay thing brad does sometimes LMAO then I refresh the page and its gone
I was not prepared for the One Republic slander. I Ain't Worried is slick as hell.
something I've never told anyone, but my highschool girlfriend broke up with me and let her go was the big track at the time, and she loved it.
It's pleasing to see that my emotional distress at the breakup was not the only thing that made completely fucking hate this track, it really is that ass.
My one complaint is when you are ranking the literal MOST listened to songs and a complaint for "stressed out" was it being "overplayed"💀THEYRE all overplayed bruh
