I get not thinking Nelly and Timbaland have chemsitry; whatever. But that production is hands down one of the best of the 2000s. Instantly recognizable, so groovy, so catchy. Insane that you rated this so low.
I agree with him that the verses are awful and agree with you that the production is amazing which is why I prefer the Ariana Grande - Motive x Promiscuous mash up to the original
Pretty sure James Blunt has said something to the effect of “I'm not really sure why people play ‘You're Beautiful’ at weddings, it's literally about some dude who's high out of his mind stalking some girl who's already in a relationship”
I agree about Promiscuous being corny or them not having much chemistry, but come ON. The production is immaculate. It makes the club feel like this pit of desperate lovers who will rather die than go home alone. It’s fun but really intense as a silly club song about two people falling for each other.
Sexyback deserved higher but hasn’t aged that well. Promiscuous is a fucking track and still goes off at clubs. The chemistry between Nelly Furtado and Timbaland is undeniable.
I’m a fan of Nelly and I was taken aback by your take on Promiscuous. The beat is so freaking catchy, the horns are a highlight of the track. Frankly, I think the back and forth from Nelly Furtado and Timberland works just fine for the song. Obviously Timberland isn’t known for his singing abilities, but his voice doesn’t sound terrible. Lastly, I’ll add that the song has held up surprisingly well in the course of two decades and the young generation still thinks it’s a bop.
@@therandomname69420 omg wait this is so cute but also maybe Nelstar(s) because I think that was the name of her OG trip hop band in the 90s before going solo or something!
It's a shame Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani didn't make the top 10 because it's an absolute banger and is probably the most popular song of that year when people make throwback playlists
this video actually has some of fantano’s most egregious takes to date. well over a decade in and he still continues to hit new lows. i don’t even say that to hate, just to express amazement at how he doesn’t care about being so loud and wrong on the internet. bravo melon i hope you never stop pissing us off
@@zebgf261 you can’t be serious. It doesn’t belong in the same sentence as Hey Ya and Crazy (the first two songs that are vastly better that pop in my head)
I love seeing Bad Day get the F tier here, because my younger sister was adopted from China, and when she was a little girl, she started first speaking English by singing the lyrics to that song in the car when my parents had it on the radio. Drove my siblings and I crazy but my parents thought it was the cutest shit ever. Now I'm 25 and she's 19 and in college. Time flies, eh?
my god during my bi-annual middle school dances, they would play the music video for songs alongside the song... the ONLY slow song they would play was "you're beautiful" and every time the song would end with him jumping off that cliff while sweaty children awkwardly shuffle back and forth...
What I remember most about “You’re Beautiful” was all the actual couples in real relationships with one another who had the chorus to that song as their ringtone for when they called each other, not realizing how egregiously out of context that was. And “Bad Day” being used on every American Idol contestant to be eliminated, every football team who lost their game, etc…I didn’t even realize it was actually a real song until months later. Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest TikTok hits of 2006!!
If Nelly Furtado has 10,000 fans, I am one If she has 1,000 fans, I am there If she has 10 fans, one of them is me If she has one fan, it is me If she has no fans, then I have passed away. Furtado Army Rise Up! Like a bird that wants to fly away. I didn’t know where my home was but now I do.
"Bad Day" is one of those songs where once you've heard the chorus, you've pretty much gotten the idea of the whole thing and are ready to move onto something else.
You're Beautiful is actually kind of incredible when you know the backstory, it's literally just about him running into an ex and her new beau on the subway while stoned out of his gourd. Who are these people playing it at weddings though?? Lmao?? he literally says over and over that they're never going to be together (again), I know nobody listens to lyrics but it's right in the damn chorus
Melon, your finger has strayed from the pulse if you think Nelly is no longer relevant while so many of her Loose hits have been blowing up on TikTok for at least the last year, and Give It To Me and Say It Right in particular has been showing up everywhere in remixed or sped-up forms. Her return to the stage after a 5-year hiatus at Beyond The Valley on NYE last year was such a testament to her cultural impact. It was the energetic high point of the 4-day festival, and yes I was there. While criticisms of the lyrics are valid, Promiscuous is undeniably still a banger. I work in a bar where they've been playing it every week since I started, and even in that context, it's always the energetic high point of the night. It's far from one of her better songs, but the cultural staying power is undeniable.
Crazy genuinely one of the best songs to have been released since 2000. That song made me get the LG slide phone when it came out solely because LG advertised with it
@@sanfordcurtis8242 yep, I remember that track being everywhere. But the thing is Shakira isn't even that big here in Portugal when compared to the rest of Europe, and Hips was still a massive hit.
The only thing that comes to mind when I think about 2006 music is Weird Al's "Straight Outta Lynwood." It really captured the entire cultural zeitgeist in a single album. Great stuff.
I was actually somewhat surprised Fantano didn't mention White & Nerdy at all when talking about Ridin', because it feels like the parody has pretty much matched the original in terms of popularity
Crazy woke me up in the AM for 7th grade and it enraged me so much I broke my alarm clock. I still cannot listen to it without feeling irrational anger lmao
E is so harsh for Nelly Furtado lol I 100% agree about her and Timbaland having no chemistry together, it seems like they just didn’t try at all, and I guess I can see what you mean about the vocals.. but the beat is so so good, and the hook is amazing I’m more surprised that’s the song that made it as opposed to Say It Right though, thought that song would’ve been bigger Edit: glad to see most people agreeing on Promiscuous being good, and seems like Say It Right will be for the next tierlist. Anthony, if you see this, you are too harsh on Promiscuous.
I'm a fan of Nelly! 2006 was the year I got my first iPod...it was mainly because of Crazy and Promiscuous (which just got dragged to hell). However it put me on to Say It Right which...fire!
its crazy how 2006 is the last time the world ever treated rock music as a mainstream thing with The Black Parade, and Muse's Black Holes album. Amy's Back to Black is quite an influential album within the UK soul movement.
Saying it’s the “last time” seems a bit early. There were a number of hit rock singles and albums after ‘06. For example, Kings of Leon had a top 5 album with multiple hits (including “Use Somebody” which peaked at #4 in the U.S.) in 2008.
Arctic monkeys released their FIRST album in 05-06 iirc, and all of their albums besides one went straight to number 1. Even now there’s plenty of rock and alt artists who are big. It’s still a mainstream thing, just not the biggest anymore
@@fleetwoodcraic4235 this is also true. “A mainstream thing” is pretty broad and rock music is still certainly a “thing” in a way, say, Klezmer is not.
I would put 2009 as the last year that guitar-heavy music could make the charts. That one Nickelback album hit the charts, as did Shinedown with Second Chance. But yeah, after that, any “rock” hit needed to be pretty much entirely synth based.
For the younger people who may not realize this: Keep in mind that the actual release dates of these songs are kind of all over the place, and not even all of them (most?) are from 2006. For example, Bad Day is from January of 2005. The way these charts work is kind of wonky.
I was 10 in 2006. I broke my arm in half, my parents got divorced, and then I got appendicitis and spent the last few months of the year in the hospital. What a cool and awesome year.
2006 was a great year 2006 was an insanely great year. Fishscale, Hell Hath No Fury, Donuts, Whatever People Say I Am..., Return To Cookie Mountain, Back To Black, Food & Liquor, The Eraser, St. Elsewhere, Sam's Town, The Shining, Game Theory, Silent Shout, Ys, The Greatest, Beat Konducta Vol 1-2,
The Vice documentary with Unwritten was pretty wholesome. The song was even used in a remix for a Tik Tok dance and received a second resurgence with Natasha Bedingfield embracing the new gens listening to it.
"Crazy" certainly isn't underrated... and honestly, it deserves to be the one song we know. It stands head and shoulders above anything else they ever made.
Funny thing about You're Beautiful, James Blunt basically said all the things you said about it. It was made to be one of those "romantic" sounding songs that is really about a stalker who should be locked up
I feel EXTREMELY validated by that Sexyback take. I heard that song CONSTANTLY around the late 00s at school, at parties, etc and it always annoyed the shit out of me. Now it's been years and I wonder if I was being too hard on it due to overexposure, but this makes me feel like I wasn't crazy lol.
Thank you, Anthony. As someone who considered Bad Day my favorite song through out most of my formative years, you have officially put an end to my bad days by speaking directly to my soul and ripping it limb from limb. 🥰 P.S. what are you thoughts on Good Day by Nappy Roots?
anyone attending nightclubs from 2006-2010 will have vivid flashbacks of girls throwing it all the way back by the mere mention of Sexyback so it's super hard to get behind rarethony misstano on that
It's amazing the fact that Anthony's opinions with the songs in these tier lists differ completely from mine, yet I still love watching these videos and listening to any piece of praise or hate he has to deliver.
Can you shout out "Weird Al's" classic parody of the Chamillionaire song? I think it's his best rapping on a track by far- the bars are straight dope, parody or otherwise, and there's just nothing lazy about his performance whatsoever. He attacks the verses like he's energized and inspired talking about eating cereal with milk and kicking it with Steve Urkel (or whatever us white boyz would presumably be doing on a Sunday morning).
I had to endure the Alvin the chipmunk version of Bad day when the movie came out. Lots of people used it as ringtone, just awful (I'm from Brazil, btw)
I got the Seat Geek ad right at the C Tier placement for Hips Don’t Lie. So all I heard was a melon telling me “I’m feeling a C Tier on this one. We are feeling a SEAT GEEK…”
Bad Day is not a great song but I'll always cherish the memory of a moment I had with a great friend, singing the chorus out loud, both absurdly drunk, lying on the floor of a party, after both got rejected
I feel like I personally hold a lot of these songs in much higher regard because of nostalgia (although I do legitimately like some of em). In 06 I was 5 so these songs hold a special place I'm my heart.
True story: In 2007 I went to Thailand with three friends. We ended up going to a ping pong show for a laugh, but it ended up way crazier. Anyway, at one point a naked girl comes out, followed by a naked guy, who starts going down on her. The song playing...Bad Day. Then he gets on top and they start going at it. The song playing...You're Beautiful! The only regret I have now is that Anthony wasn't there with us lol
Whenever I hear Bad Day, all I can think of is contestants getting kicked off of American Idol and this song playing as they're going home crying with their dreams crushed
Crazy that in 2005/2006 the Black Eyed Peas didn't score the top 10. I was really expecting to see a song or two from them in the top 10 in both years. I remember songs like Pump It and Don't Lie playing all the time on the radio.
I am announcing myself proudly! Nelly’s album was my high school breakup soundtrack back in 2006 and I still think of my ex when I am occasionally listening to some of these songs.
I like Nelly's music but I definitely feel like Promiscuous is overrated and her older singer songwriter stuff was more interesting. She leaned into her identity more too.
It's hard to believe 2006 was over a year ago.
Damn it feels like 2004 was just a day ago
💯
I can almost taste it
😂you gotta be at least 45 to be saying this
a year ago?! damn time flies
You are absolutely nuts not putting Promiscuous as at least an A tier. It's arguably the best produced pop hit of the 2000s.
it's a S tier song and 2006 could be the best year of the 2000s. Sexyback is getting done dirty, too.
@@forwardgrappling 2001 was far superior. But that's just my take.
I always appreciate when Anthony sings part of the song since I’ve forgotten how most of these sounded
i pause when he puts the song up, go to spotify and listen, give a rank and see how it goes
Same here.
He usually hits the notes spot on too!
Hey, 2000s had undeniable bops,
I legit could not figure out what song "bad day" was gonna be until he sang it. that ditty was just burried somewhere in my subconcious
The disrespect toward Promiscuous and Temperature is unforgivable.
Temperature deserves S tier for sure.
IM SAYINNNN
And hips don‘t lie 🤧
Anthony criticizing Sexyback for not being kinky enough is gonna be great meme material
up there with "if i was into BDSM?.. this would be the soundtrack"
Can’t fault a melon for being into some hard, raunchy sex.
The chorus literally says " Go head" 😂😂😂
Bro i thought this was a joke until it happened
Bro this is a HARD disagreement with Fantano. I wouldn't give it S tier but man that was kinda an L take. Love him tho
The production on Promiscuous goes dummy, you’re smoking crack. Also killer hook
Facts
Couldn't have put this better
2006 had hella bangers I disagree with him. All these songs go hard
Timbaland was making SOLID GOLD during the 2000s
Promiscuous is no lower than a B, Anthony was on something
I get not thinking Nelly and Timbaland have chemsitry; whatever. But that production is hands down one of the best of the 2000s. Instantly recognizable, so groovy, so catchy. Insane that you rated this so low.
Timbaland just had this Midas touch in the 2000s. Him and the Neptunes were just on fire back then.

Yeah, Melon’s missing the point. The song sounds creepy because it’s supposed to be creepy.
Oh he's aware of how creepy the song is. That's good.
That’s reassuring but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s an annoying tune
Yeah, once you've seen the music video it should be obvious that this song was always meant to be about a stalker

and not knowing TImbaland was the one shouting "YEAH" so gracefully in the background saddens me
Ngl I about shouted BLASPHEMY when Promiscuous came up. 🙃

Fantano is a Bey simp confirmed
Yeah, not like I agree with even 50% of what Fantano says but that's just a crazy take imo.
Her worst song is Baby Boy ft Sean Paul

Also, James Blunt's Wisemen from the same album is a banger you can't lie
Ngl, Promiscuous was my guilty pleasure back in the day.
The Vice documentary with Unwritten was pretty wholesome. The song was even used in a remix for a Tik Tok dance and received a second resurgence with Natasha Bedingfield embracing the new gens listening to it.
Will be checking out the documentary
Love hearing the Gnarls Barkley love. Criminally underrated project as a whole and the odd couple is epic too. Some of my fave
I agree also that Crazy is one of the best tracks of the 2000's.
"Crazy" certainly isn't underrated... and honestly, it deserves to be the one song we know. It stands head and shoulders above anything else they ever made.
I wouldn't say underrated is an appropriate description. It was absolutely massive. That song was on the radio every other hour for a solid 5 years.
@@argetect2847 I think they're talking about the album.
@@thefinkie6459 hell. No. Well at least for me. She knows, Going on, Smiley faces those one above Crazy any day
Melons don't lie by Shakira lit just got S tier with no argumentation >:v
Funny thing about You're Beautiful, James Blunt basically said all the things you said about it. It was made to be one of those "romantic" sounding songs that is really about a stalker who should be locked up
@Frodo33. But at the end of the day all the stalker wants is love
James Blunt is very self deprecating
Like "Every Breath You Take".
How is it stalkerish if he said multiple times in the song that he will never see her again
@@Loser4 but not nearly as well written
I feel EXTREMELY validated by that Sexyback take. I heard that song CONSTANTLY around the late 00s at school, at parties, etc and it always annoyed the shit out of me. Now it's been years and I wonder if I was being too hard on it due to overexposure, but this makes me feel like I wasn't crazy lol.
Thank you, Anthony. As someone who considered Bad Day my favorite song through out most of my formative years, you have officially put an end to my bad days by speaking directly to my soul and ripping it limb from limb. 🥰
P.S. what are you thoughts on Good Day by Nappy Roots?
It feels like 2006 was 17 years ago
almost😊
@@lamibonxd it has been lol
anyone attending nightclubs from 2006-2010 will have vivid flashbacks of girls throwing it all the way back by the mere mention of Sexyback so it's super hard to get behind rarethony misstano on that
i agree! it’s “club sexy” not “bedroom sexy”, that being it’s like a mosh pit of ass when it gets played
I blame American Idol for Bad Day
the nelly furtado slander in this video is WILD
Promiscuous is now one of the biggest snubs you’ve given that song SLAPS and you know it
It's amazing the fact that Anthony's opinions with the songs in these tier lists differ completely from mine, yet I still love watching these videos and listening to any piece of praise or hate he has to deliver.
Can you shout out "Weird Al's" classic parody of the Chamillionaire song? I think it's his best rapping on a track by far- the bars are straight dope, parody or otherwise, and there's just nothing lazy about his performance whatsoever. He attacks the verses like he's energized and inspired talking about eating cereal with milk and kicking it with Steve Urkel (or whatever us white boyz would presumably be doing on a Sunday morning).
Nah
I vividly remember all of these being constantly on the radio
That James Blunt album is pretty decent.
Of the tracks I know here I would rank them as such:
S: Unwritten
A: Crazy, You're Beautiful
B:
C: Sexy Back, Ridin Dirty
D:
E:
F: Bad Day
Hips dont lie was a banger of the summer so it deserves at least B
SEAN PAUL TEMPERATURE NOT MEMORABLE????
the club still gets lit when it plays TO THIS DAY
I had to endure the Alvin the chipmunk version of Bad day when the movie came out. Lots of people used it as ringtone, just awful (I'm from Brazil, btw)
I got the Seat Geek ad right at the C Tier placement for Hips Don’t Lie. So all I heard was a melon telling me “I’m feeling a C Tier on this one. We are feeling a SEAT GEEK…”
“Bad day” was only created for the choppy slow mo scenes for those who didn’t make it to the next round in American Idol
I consistently forget that the year 2006 existed.
I'll miss Cee Lo's star wars Era
Bad Day is not a great song but I'll always cherish the memory of a moment I had with a great friend, singing the chorus out loud, both absurdly drunk, lying on the floor of a party, after both got rejected
unwritten is one of the hottest songs to do at karaoke the whole place goes off
Incredibly excellent take on Crazy, Melon.
Hell yeah
L take. Anthony's hips clearly be lyin
I'M LIKE A BIRRRD I ONLY FLYY AWAAAYYYY 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
Banger
I feel like I personally hold a lot of these songs in much higher regard because of nostalgia (although I do legitimately like some of em). In 06 I was 5 so these songs hold a special place I'm my heart.
Honestly props to you for forming emotional connection to them at age 5 because I don’t remember anything before like 9
Say It Right should’ve been on billboards top ten, Nelly Furtado was a great pop singer, Loose is a great album.
It's top 10 on 2007
I'm sad you didn't mention the music video to "Crazy." I think that had a massive role in the song's popularity.
I honestly don’t think sexyback and promiscuous are meant to be taken so seriously. They’re just fun dance pop songs just dance n vibe Anthony
Yeah I think he missed the point in thinking Sexyback is trying to sound seductive or be a sex song when it's clearly not
Bad Day being number 1 has to be because of American Idol using it to send of contestants, which was hilarious in its own right
“Relating to bad day is like relating to an advertisement”. 10/10 Melon comment
True story: In 2007 I went to Thailand with three friends. We ended up going to a ping pong show for a laugh, but it ended up way crazier. Anyway, at one point a naked girl comes out, followed by a naked guy, who starts going down on her. The song playing...Bad Day. Then he gets on top and they start going at it. The song playing...You're Beautiful! The only regret I have now is that Anthony wasn't there with us lol
I'm just SCREAMING. Sex workers are on a different level cause no one else could do this.
PROUD NELLY FURTADO FAN
"It's mid"
*puts in E tier*
I always feel like Cee Lo really is an unsung hero compared to people like Pharrell with similar background and versatility. Does that make me crazy?
he's a bettter singer than pharrell anyway
I found him to have a bit of the same style as Bruno Mars
Random fact: Sacramento Kings are poised to make the playoffs this year for the first time since 2006. So hearing that def made me feel old 😂
It's so wild. I'm 21, and I had some kid roast me for being "Older than TH-cam". I didn't know that shit could be a roast. Goddamn.
@@phillipbell4394 Not really a roast, since TH-cam was the best in the early years, then 2013 happened
Light the beam.
@@OSNAP305 yessir
Sexy back & hips don't lie not being S tier is ludicrous bro 😂😂😂
I feel like I'm the only one in these comments who unironically loves You're Beautiful and Bad Day. I can't help it dawg they're childhood bops 😭
Bad day is tolerable, I don’t seek it out but I can deal with it. You’re beautiful I can’t disagree with him, I think it’s pretty awful haha
I have a spft spot for You're Beautiful..... Bad day though is fucken annoying though lmao
I'm a big fan of Bad Day. You're Beautiful on the other hand, not so much.
Whenever I hear Bad Day, all I can think of is contestants getting kicked off of American Idol and this song playing as they're going home crying with their dreams crushed
No I’m the other person who likes them unironically
Crazy that in 2005/2006 the Black Eyed Peas didn't score the top 10. I was really expecting to see a song or two from them in the top 10 in both years. I remember songs like Pump It and Don't Lie playing all the time on the radio.
I am announcing myself proudly!
Nelly’s album was my high school breakup soundtrack back in 2006 and I still think of my ex when I am occasionally listening to some of these songs.
I like Nelly's music but I definitely feel like Promiscuous is overrated and her older singer songwriter stuff was more interesting. She leaned into her identity more too.
