This series is making me realize how quickly we all grew up. I was 12 years old in 2015 and now I'm 37
This is so sad. Alexa, play Despacito
you're maths a bit off bud 2015 minus 12 is 22 (carry the 5 when doing division)
Me when I math
wait, what?
When you skipped math class
silento performed at my middle school when i was in 8th grade. the only two songs he performed were the first 90 seconds of Watch Me and Watch Me Part 2 (which exists) repeated over and over again. at some point he called up all the teachers on stage to dance to the song which was glorious. my best friend was crying in the corner of the room for the whole performance and he still refuses to tell me why to this day. it was a magical experience and i would do unspeakable things to relive it
Is there video footage I would pay mounds of money
It's impossible that nobody recorded it
@@kyrdret373 someone probably recorded it but I don't have any video evidence. I'll ask around on instagram since that's the only place i keep in touch with school friends, but for now you'll have to take my word for it
That same night silento killed his cousin
Would you say Silento killed it?
Uptown funk also just totally revitalized Bruno Mars’s career and marks the point where he stopped making good music and started making great music
Had us in the first half not gonna lie
He really had an evolution. I hated his first few songs where he made what I called "Disney musicals" tracks like that just the way you are song. Then he started to get my attention during his Grenade / locked in heaven period and when he did uptown funk i was like "Okay he's goated now"
24k magic was one of my fav albums of the following year for sure, just banger after banger on that thing. Absolutely solid love letter to the new jack swing genre
Having worked retail in 2015, I fucking hate this song for playing 96 times during every 8 hr shift I worked for 6 months
I don't wanna talk shit but my mom is still stuck on that first album. Obviously I don't wanna take away from anyone liking something but that's like your fav Radiohead album being the EP before Pablo Honey
Wasn't ready for Fantano whipping and naenaeing for 12 minutes straight
And teaches us how to dougie
and the rest of the 18 seconds doing the worm? inspired
I'd pay money to see that.
I would love this format but for the 2000's. It was such an iconic and interesting moment in the music industry. (both for the good and the bad)
2000s would be interesting. Look at the top tracks of 2000 compared to 2009.
Um not really in the beginning but more later in the decade it became a much more interesting.
I mean we started it with Britney Spears and ended it with Black Eyed Peas 😂
@@Imnotspecial0.0 2000s(ESPECIALLY early) was a fundamental transition decade into our modern music style. Hip hop was popularized among a white audience, death of grunge and birth of hundreds of metal genres, etc. Insanely disingenuous to pretend the 2000s were not wildly important.
@@ronin2841 Actually, believe it or not, none of Britney's singles ever reached the top 10 of any year-end Billboard chart list. She's hit the #27 spot on two occasions (for Circus and Till the World Ends, of all things), but no higher!
I'll always have a soft spot for Fetty Wap. In a world of overproduced hip-hop and vocals, his "bad" singing is actually endearing. I had Trap Queen and 679 on blast that year.
REEEEMYYYYY BOYYYS
YAAAAAUUUW
I cannot describe how much I was looking forward to seeing Fetty Wap get praise in this segment. Trap Queen is a one of a kind track
@fck peace what?
“My way” and “RGF Island” also rang off (though not quite at the same level as Trap Queen and 679).
Yeah, I agree.
2015 is the year I got into The Weeknd. He really dominated that year alone. So damn nostalgic
You and everybody else
He almost had three songs in that top 10 if not for fucking Silento. What an absolute legend
Same here, asked for Beauty Behind the Madness for my birthday that year and been a fan ever since
Yeah Abel came through I miss that era xotwod, I was waiting for fantano to talk about this one
I get spasms when people use the word nostalgic for music from the mid-2010s...Eternally stuck in the 90s
How was Can't Feel My Face not in the top ten. That's nuts.
It was number 12.
Thank Silento and OMI, two one hit wonders we’ll never hear from again. At least Cheerleader slaps
IKR, I have never heard those other Weeknd songs before, but Can't Feel My Face was EVERYWHERE. And where did this "Shut Up + Dance" come from? Never heard of the band or the song in my life.
@@thefinkie6459 It was big in the alternative scene and crossed over to pop.
@@thefinkie6459 u must have been under a rock
I cant listen to watch me without thinking of the time in my elementary school principal went up on stage during an anti bullying assembly, danced to the song, slipped onstage, had blood all over his extremely shiny bald head, had to be dragged off, and wore baseball caps for the rest of the school year
lmfao
Elementary? 2015? How old are you? How old am I??
That’s horrifying 🤣🤣
@@JC19021 lol im 18, this was in my last year of elementary school
Silento has a frighteningly high body count
so bizarre Silentó went from whipping and naenaeing to murdering his cousin. not meming, cuz that actually happened, I am just like, "dude, all you had to do was wait til my generation get old enough to be nostalgic for your song so you can make a killing performing at high school reunions, wtf?" it's genuinely surreal.
i love getting my news from fantanos youtube comments
Lmao this is an A+ comment. True
Wait until you find out what juju on that beat guy is up to
Wait until you find out about the guy who created peanut butter jelly time
@@1999origamiguy juju on that schmeat
Gotta be real. Now that I don’t have to listen to them on the school bus going to high school at 6:30 every day, I can actually appreciate a lot of these songs now.
No but actually I’d hear em every morning on the way to HS on the radio all the time and I got tired of em so fast, at least they’re not annoying to me nowadays
I use to strongly dislike everything Taylor did and I thought she was so overhyped but Blank space always was the one song I legit liked. It's by far her greatest for me. The song structure is great and it's just very well done pop music
@@zane9590 thats legit so fuckin weird for me how some ppl are just like "yep i dont listen to music"
Retail workers (me[sort of]) are seething rn
@@brandonayong5823 in fact, now that we got some distance, i aprecciate 1989 as a whole way more now
I was never a fan of See You Again, but that same year, my cousin was killed in a car wreck along with his girlfriend and at his Viewing, this song was playing on the slideshow showing pictures of him. So for that, I can’t hate on the song because of the connection to my family
Great video as always, but I really do want my family back
Lol. You watch it on 25x speed bro
You’ll find em bro 👍👍👍
Ik me too
@@ribs2635 chill he tried
Go get em!!
You putting Blank Space in the D-Row, even for just a second, actually made my heart stop beating. Currently writing this comment from the hospital. I hope you’re happy, Anthony.
That song is still her best straight up pop song to this day
FAX I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
Exactly!!!
He put that track too high even by choosing D tier, that shit was E tier at best.
I’m surprised Anthony is releasing these segments so fast, he could’ve milked them for two years lol
Same with "these albums are 10s"
There's only 10 years in a decade my dude
There are a lot of years
@@vamoacalmarno3868 ok yeah, but the 2000’s pop he’s talking about is the most interesting. And I feel like 2015 and onwards is not far away enough to do a good retrospective
he’s gonna do it for every year ever
The Weeknd owned 2015.
And 2016, and 2020, fuck it he owns every year.
@Never gonna give you up even so, the end of 2016 all I was hearing at college was Starboy left right and centre
I love weekend but let's not forget how big Views and PURPOSE Album were lol
Ed’s single is even colored like C-tier, he knew what he was doing
C LOUD ☁
it’d be cool if you could do this for the 2000’s next. so much great stuff that decade, but A LOT of horrific stuff too.
Definitely the Ashy decade. But I’ll still go dumb to TI’s “What You Know”
Songs like Stan were competing with oops I did it again on the charts 😂
@@brandonayong5823 😂😂😂
The decade of butt rock and crunk lol
Blank Space is a certified banger
I know a certain former prime minister who would agree with you
After surviving the constant barrage of maroon 5 in a post-2018 world, this year was pretty phenomenal for pop music
There's been a constant barrage of Maroon 5 since 2006.
Bro Maroon 5 have been making music since the late 90's
Sugar is surprisingly an okay song
no no maroon 5 started releasing albums in the 80s
@@robojimtv I agree, it’s arguably their most inoffensive (and best) hit, Levine’s squeaky voice actually suits the melody and the chorus is quite fun sounding.
i hope fantano keeps up this series for each year there has ever been music
“Yeah but uh, the top of the 1912 charts here, I think Yankee Doodle Dandy is a bop. It’s a real banger”
"Coming up next on the 30000 BCE chart is the "Rock God Chant"
I read recently that Abe Lincoln thought Jimmy Crack Corn was a bop. It dropped during his presidency. Not kidding
@@Curtis3604 He did like it, but it did not drop during his presidency
@@kourii well shit
I worked clubs during Shut Up + Dance's height. I'd forgotten what it sounds like so I gave myself a little primer. The emotional damage of internalising that song has come flooding back and I would like an apology, I'm not really fussed who from, but it would help.
Apologies
Sorry bro, my bad.
My fault OG
I'm sorry.
i'm sorry
Beauty Behind the Madness is The Weeknd's most underrated album among his fan base imo, i know it is probably the most mainstream one but the amount of fire tracks and cultural impact that record had was crazy
I think it's because his og fans didn't like him going mainstream pop and Starboy and After Hours fans make up most of his base now, so Beauty is too far removed
The run from Tell Your Friends to As You Are is absolutely perfect but the Ed Sheeran song and Real Life are bad so that alone makes it The Weeknd’s worst album despite the great run because his discography is ridiculously good
Kissland is his most underrated album
@@ginopravisani6755 this
It's got some of his best pop tracks but overall it's probably his least consistent album. The bad songs are pretty damn bad, and I can't really say that for any of his other albums (except maybe Starboy)
People who don't like Uptown Funk either don't like fun or are tired of hearing it at weddings
Or they blindly hate Bruno Mars because he's popular (trust me this is common)
My friends said they hate Bruno Mars and when the silk sonic album came out I had to convince them to listen to it, and after that they couldn't even deny how good he is.
Seriously people just think because something is popular its bad, but the second you bring up Kanye or Drake and popular hip hop artists, 90% of people will say they are the best artists in the world (not saying they aren't great, it's just the hypocrisy some people have where they are so blinded by snobby bias about popular music that they can't admit when something is good because it's cool to hate on things, but that's just 90% of the Internet in a nutshell I guess 🤷♂️)
@@EyesDontCry 90%...
@@mweeming yeah maybe not most peopleas a whole, but people in the hip hop sphere, atleast in my experience.
Someone explain to me how shake it off didn’t make this list
I feel like you literally could not escape that song. It was legit everywhere
cross 2014-2015
It is kind of odd not seeing either that or I Can't Feel My Face on here.
Pretty sure it was number 17 on the 2015 year end list. Its points got cut in half; it was number 13 on the 2014 year wnd
T Swift with only one song is honestly surprising to me. Shake It Off, Blank Space, Bad Blood was absolutely unescapeable.
It was played like fuck but everyone hated it lol
The Hills is S Tier. One of my favorite tracks of that DECADE.
lol
i’ve always loved the weird mixing about the hills- his vocals being drowned out by the overwhelming instrumental really adds to the song to me
2015 was definitely Abel's year
this year was also yo mamas year cause i showed her that crazy d!ck fr
Hearing silento's name still gives me nightmares
Especially since he’s murdered his cousin
Shut Up and Dance is still one of my favorite tracks of that year, you can't censor me Melon
He's just a hating melon
Shut Up and Dance is an eternal fuckin banger my dude. Especially in 2015 it was nice to hear an actual band playing instruments on the radio. Walk the Moon sadly never saw that same success again so I think they’re pretty underrated.
It’s not a banger I hated it in 2015 and I hate it now it’s so corny
Agreed. Still love the track, a bit nostalgic too.
I never liked this track and then my high school played it over the PA system between classes a bunch and it made me loath it from hearing it all the time.
When i first started DJing weddings to make extra money (it's a fun and ridiculous job that i actually kind of enjoy) i would get a lot of requests for terrible songs i had never heard of before. I'm realizing from watching this Fantano yearly Billboard series that they were all right here and I was completely detached from mainstream music in the early 2010s
blank space is a BANGER
hey, at least he said it's a solid single
I’m mostly a metal head and listen to rock/metal about 90% of the time, but when The Weeknd came on the scene and starting tearing it up, I really liked him. Maybe it’s the darkness/depression that I can relate to in a lot of his songs, but I remember thinking “this guy is something special” when he got big.
Wow didn’t expect Anthony to say “this sounds more like the weekday” for the entire episode.
Blank Space is S tier IMO. Was pretty Tay-agnostic, then I heard Blank Space in an uber like a year ago and realised I'd been sleeping on some great pop.
Ngl, I still jam out to Shut Up And Dance to this day. That song is a bop imo
The song also fits well in the context of the album it's on. Kind of a shame that is the only song most people know of theirs
Love this track. Melon has some absolutely horrendous opinions about music sometimes
Melon talks about that song like it fucked his dad or something. Sugar is sooooo much worse.
it's a feel good song to me.
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 I come to the comments to feat on these horrid takes
I loved it when Taylor Swift went, "I can't feel Blank Space when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it."
"Shut Up & Dance" is one of my most hated songs of all time. My roommate in college would play this song back-to-back on repeat for HOURS every day for a while. It made me wanna DIE.
I love that song
Sounds like a mental disorder
Lmao I had a roommate who would blast "Let Her Go" by Passenger on repeat from the basement, I feel this pain
I think Honey, I'm Good was annoying imo.
Woooo HooHooooo
that’s clever of you to put every song off Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven in the S tier, Melon.
Can we talk about how the Weekend had one of the best debuts of that year and ruled the world at one point
He still kinda does but sadly, Dawn FM is a bit of a relative flop commercially
How on earth has Fantano not reviewed 1989 that’s insane
I wish he did. One of my favorite records of all time, honestly. Every track is an absolute banger!
he talked about it on a YUNOREVIEW
@@marcoscarballea112 what did he say? And do you know which one?
@@directamplification agreed love 1989, it’s just so surprising to me since it’s considered one of the best pop albums of the 2010s…so weird!
Considering the album had beaten TPAB in grammys that's bizarre
S tier: Uptown Funk
A tier: Can't Feel My Face, Shut Up And Dance, Trap Queen, See You Again
B tier: The Hills, Blank Space
C tier: Sugar, Thinking Out Loud
D tier: Earned It
F tier: Watch Me
Please continue this format going back until the 60s or 50s. That's so much content and helps us all appreciate classic songs and also the songs that we should all forget
Uptown Funk was definitely a song
Some would say a song of all time.
@@alecmilller now that far buddy
The Weeknd is best felt then listened to. The bass notes and the synthy siren background of the hills really set a standard for The Weeknd’s signature atmospheric sound, which I really enjoy
2015 was also a great year for albums. So many great records that came out that year
I know speeding bullet 2 heaven
Miley Cyrus
to pimp a butterfly best rap album came out that year so massive W
@@Guyinthehouse607 you are deep in fantano lore
It was a great year for alternative
How brilliant for Anthony kinda talk about 2015 music without mentioning Kendrick even once.
The Blacker The Berry/King Kunta aren't a massive hit singles unlike the whole album
He could've definitely talked about Kendrick considering he has a feature on the remix of Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood", but that song ranked #15 on the 2015 Year-End list. Doubt Fantano would like the song though, it's not one of either artist's better songs. Regardless, he'll definitely talk about him when he gets to 2017.
He doesn't pick his own songs for these, he just goes by the top 10 off Billboard charts.
Mark Ronson deserves the success he has IMO. Dude manages to produce some of the highest charting hits yet you can often tell that they have his fingerprint on them, which is sometimes difficult these days, at least in pop.
Dont really get the Shut up and Dance hate. Its an inoffensive song that has a fun energy to it. Sugar is WAY worse comparatively imo
Man, i was working at a grocery store in 2015, shut up and dance would play like 5 times an hour it felt like and I hated every moment of it.
I love this series, please go backwards! 2010 to 2000. Those were the jams.
YESSSS
2016 is gonna be a rough one for our dear melon.
Holy crap that year sucked for music haha just checked the charts
Predictions:
Drake and Adele on C
Beyonce on B
Frank Ocean on B
Calvin Harris on D
The Chainsmokers and Justin Timberlake on E
The year of Drake, Justin Bieber, and the fucking Chainsmokers. Dear God
Earned isn’t for listening to, it’s for Fuggen to.
Putting Sugar over Shut up and Dance should be a war crime
This is the first one of these lists things I actually agree with. 2015 was just a chill year.
Anthony you broke my heart with the Shut Up and Dance section
You gotta get James Acaster on for the 2016 episode! He wrote a whole book on why 2016 is the best year in music and he owns every album from that year!
Didn't fantano make a guest appearance on the podcast?
As a designer, I can't tell you how many time I have seen that free stock TV that is on the cover of that Silento track...
2015 was when we learned abel was about to change the world of pop as we knew it
2015 is one of my all time favorite years of music. I mean it’s the year 1989 ruled the charts, how can I not love it? Also, you know Uptown Funk is a certified classic when my mom, who normally hates modern music, will lose her mind when it comes on
Blank space is still one of my favorite songs ever. I actually think the instrumental is really good with the added bass in the second verse
IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY WITHOUT YOU MY FRIEND
Why did interviews stop? I respect it if Anthony stopped it because he felt it’s too hard to maintain both interviewer and reviewer hats (he had incidents where interviewees pressed him on his scores during interviews…), but we can still get conversations with other music critics, produces, maybe retired artists, etc. Also it generally feels like this channel is in a slight little identity crisis - maybe more starter packs videos, more creative substantive videos about general music topics (I would love for example a video where Anthony goes into his relationship with classical music)… much love!!
im having a hard time believing that Trap Queen and Uptown Funk are even in the same discussion
I love it that the best we can expect from Ed Sheeran's music it's just for it to be "inofensive"
But “Sing” is a banger
His song "Don't" isn't really inoffensive tho
My school always used to play "Shut up and dance with me" at every school event and dance and i bet its still getting played to this day, watching the melon trash it is so gratifying
Someone once told me that all mainstream music is bad, I had to remind them about Adele and Bruno Mars having the 2 biggest songs of the decade
Adele and Bruno are great but that wouldn't necessarily discredit that person's argument. Popularity doesn't equal quality
@@brandonayong5823 but the statement by the other guy op mentioned is very trashy. "all mainstream music is bad" is a hilariously out of touch thing to say.
@@le4chehenry324 True. And it's the lazy way out
Unironically, Sugar by Maroon 5 is my favorite song by them since Sunday Morning
why
@@lamibonxd bc everything they've put out between those 2 songs has been utter garbage imo

@@forever9043 the instrumental is better but the singing is worse
@@Nycheesecake2 there is better rythm and more vibe into maps than Sugar
2015 was such a good year, uptown funk, the weeknd dominated with like 3 songs, take me to church is an absolute banger, great year for music
2015 was such a good year, both for music and in my life. I graduated high school and started college that year.
Everybody's saying we need this series to extend to the 00s when the 10s are finished. I agree mainly because the only thing funnier than forcing Anthony to talk about Maroon 5 is forcing Anthony to talk about THE FRAY
Honestly, 2012 and 2015 might be tied as the the best year in terms of top 10 billboards songs of looking in the 2010s. They are def the best for me.
And it's all downhill until he reaches 2020 and 2021, those top 10s are full of bangers. I guess 2017 and 2019 had their moments too.

@@oops6876 this is the billboard list anthony didn't pick any of these songs
@@waspswarm870 I’m agreeing with him!
The problem was it peaked too late (end of August) to rack up enough Billboard chart points. This is an annoying quirk that just happens with the Billboard rankings. In my opinion, it was still the biggest hit Abel had that year
Shut up and dance came out way more recently than I thought
but appreciate blank space as an excellent pop song. it’s perfection
The Pizza Hut logo above your upper lip is 🔥
We need this format for the 2000s!
Damn I really like Shut Up and Dance. I never imagined it could cause such an intensely negative opinion on anybody.
Every stereoptypical one hit wonder ever
I thought it was an ok song and absolutely hated "Trap Queen", which melon said it was a banger lol.
I didn't like it when it was popular because I heard it all the time, but it has been making me pretty nostalgic for the past couple years or so and now I can't help but jam out to it.
it was fun for a couple weeks but there's just so much more interesting music to listen to. WTM can be a solid band though, "One Foot" was pretty good.
Blank Space is actually a satirical comment on Taylor's portrayal in the media. She's writing the song from the angle of how the media was portraying her at the time as "boy-crazy" and "psycho" etc. At the time she was getting a lot of flack for moving through relationships too quickly, and Blank Space is about how she was represented in the media as going crazily from relationship to relationship.
i got really scared melon was gonna shit on trap queen
lool literally
How can you say Fetty “couldn’t dig up another track as large of a hit?” 679 and My Way with Drake were massive that year. Yes, he didn’t progress much after this year as a whole but there was more than just Trap Queen
I kinda think that's what he was getting at, more the longevity
Fetty wap is what I call a one ALBUM wonder.
I hate “all of me” because it makes me want to cry. I feel very validated by Fantano.
I have so much love for Shut Up and Dance bc I went to a hardcore house show a few years ago and the entire show was HEAVY AS FUCK but for the encore they brought up a super poppy vocalist and they played SUAD and then jammed that into Mr Brightside and it was the grooviest most high energy performance I’ve ever witnessed
Silento really went silento after his masterpiece Nae Nae
He murdered his cousin
@@Thesportsmusicgod wtf are you serious?
I love Shut Up & Dance; it's pure uplifting fun. A-Tier
SHUT UP AND DANCE FANS RISE UP!!!
“Shut up and dance” is the “let’s get crazy at freshmen homecoming” song
Walk the Moon "Shut up and dance" is popular because it made it to the wedding a bar mitzvah DJ circuit, because every kid and old aunt can dance to it and follow enough along with enough of the lyrics to be "fun".
679 is awesome, even though it didn’t make it to the top 10. Fetty was on fire that year!
679 and My Way were both hard AF but Fetty fucked up his come up by putting Monty on all those tracks 🤮
Like good of Fetty Wap to try and help his friend but that man can't spit 😂
The Hills is EASILY S TIER 🤬
It's actually kind of amazing to see how mildly off American popular music culture is in comparison to europe. Like 90 percent of the really popular stuff on the radio around here is the same, as US industry sets the trends and thanks to social media and memes and stuff we share collective memories of songs and moments in musical history - but then there's stuff like Trap Queen by Fetty Wap which I'm hearing about for the first time in this video. Peak position in german charts was 77, this song just didn't happen over here. It's amazing to see how some stuff clicks across cultures and some just magically doesnt.
Had heard Trap Queen a couple times but hip-hop doesn't really transfer over to European radio, you gotta look for it yourself
You ranking the dusty tinsel that is Blank Space higher than Shut Up And Dance With Me was such a noxious take my browser crashed
I feel like there’s nothing to be ashamed about hating “See you Again.” Considering it was a tribute to a man who dated his widow when she was 16 and he was 33
MBDTF song tier list when
for retail workers shut up and dance was the soundtrack to many of their darkest moments
Gotta be real: I think Shut Up and Dance is a certified banger
Unanimously agree
THANK YOU
ngl this made me go back and listen to the Hills, holds up decently :)
WHERE WAS LEAN ON??????
"Shut up and Dance" in the same row as "Watch Me"
Every single week it's something new. But there's always SOMETHING.
The Hills deserved better
