Watching this is an accomplishment

I love these TRAINWRECKORDS videos, this is world class storytelling and research. I can’t wait for more!

Holy shit, I've been out of touch with pop for a while now, but every damn sample you played got me eager. I've definitely gotta go through these.

LMAO i genuinely teared up when i heard the opening of number one. you're so on the money as to why it's a hit. every time i played it this year (am a DJ) the place would erupt, no place more so than my hometown Pride after party.

I’m so glad that you put me onto GloRilla a few years ago. It’s been amazing seeing her explode in the main stream.

we have been waiting for this video all year and had an ongoing bet if either Sabrina or Chappel are gonna take the crown. Thank you Todd for the win this year

And then Roan had an ego meltdown

It was a great year for music, so many great songs by new and old artists. I can't even say what my favourite song was. According to Spotify most listened song was LUNCH, followed by BOAF and Please Please Please. The first place is an interesting choice as it came out so long ago, but nobody have ever listened to it back than, so I can understand it. I like that song too and I love to sing along, but as a straight guy I feel quite uncomfortable doing this 😅 Good Luck Babe brought Chappell to the table, I asked myself "who is this?" and started listening to her album, which became my second favourite album last year.

Ironic video, "The Top 10 hit songs of 2024!?" Not one of these songs is good

No love for Doechii? I know it was tail end, but I'm pretty sure Denial is a River was released in 2024. She's incredible

Kendrick vs Drake is not good triumphing over evil. It is a supervillain taking down a pedophile

36:33 "it's embarrassing to like a n*tzi" wow this sentence aged like milk after Elon

I watch these every year despite almost never having heard of any of the artists or the songs. Yes, I am old. 😂

As a gay man who is from a small town with no gay scene who first time in a bar was in LA, Pink Pony Club hits so hard and means so much to me.

lewis capaldi getting big on my local radio made me hate the entire genre. whoops.

Still on trending. Todd is still relevant

Sorry Todd, but Carnival was still a fun song. Def nowhere near the worst, just trashy.

I'm going to make my own baseless and definitely inaccurate prediction based on Todd's reaction to good luck babe She's gonna come out in a couple of years

This list is terrible

Number 40 on trending!? Alright not bad! 🎉

Me, my husband, and my sister have really enjoyed your top 10 videos over the years and have created a Todd List bingo to play along as we watch. We'd love to keep this tradition alive so long as making the lists bring you the same joy it brings us! ♥

As soon as we hear there is more than one or even only one artist from the 94% of the world's population, 7.5 billion, the not nationally English-speaking regions of this planet, we're right back.

I heard Pink Pony Club about 6 months or so before Chappel Roan got really popular…and I could feel it changing my life

The ending of this video and Todd’s words were insanely appreciated at this particular moment in history when it feels like every single one of our fellow countrymen have turned against us. From our very own government trying to legislate (or just… “order”) us out of existence, to conglomerates and corporations trying to make us completely disappear, and to the people themselves who aren’t doing anything, many of who are actively supporting the cruelty. Thank you for being out here bucking the bullsh!t.

This certainly is an movie.

i’m not really a pop music person, i’m mostly subscribed for one-hit wonderland and trainwreckords. but this has been the first year i can remember where there were multiple charting songs i absolutely adored. *really* good year for pop music.

Maaan i remember in the first half of 2024 going on an Alaskan cruise. We're in dense frigid country and i hear Not Like Us bumping from an ancient Ford truck. I realized Ohhh Drake is COOKED cooked lmaoooo happy new year

Worst list so far. No Lady Gaga's 'Disease'? Nah

Hating is fun but the joy and compassion you exude talking about the music you like is magical.

Question for everyone. Seeing one of the complaints of this list is the lack of music videos. What do you think about Good Luck Babe? With such amazing live presentation as the VMAs (it stills give me chills every time). Does it need an official video? Should they use the same Roan of Arc "theme"?

As soon as I saw the video I remembered everything about it, but if you had just mentioned the song to me without showing me the video, I would have sworn up and down (and argued for hours and cursed and thrown things at you) that this was a John Mellencamp song.

I wish more ppl were talking about femme Tyler 24:44

“Not Like Us was the superhero movie of the year” 🔥🔥🔥

I don't listen to pop music, and frankly most of these songs kinda blend together in my ears The backing tracks just sound like a commercial for a light beer or credit union But thematically there was a lot of good stuff here, and I'm glad on behalf of younger folks (I'm approaching 30 and not accepting it) that there's a plethora of interesting personalities out there getting popular That last one reminded me of "Smalltown Boy" by way of "Dancing On My Own" which basically means it's going to live forever in every club in the world

MUSTAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD

What's the intro piano song?

Finally, a year where me and my favorite music KZbinr can agree on both the best and the worst list!!! Only surprise was the lack of Noah Kahan's "Stick Season". I thought it was a shoe-in :P

Espresso is so damn generic lmao

You're right, 2024 was a good year, even in the genres I don't keep up with, it's good to have so many good singers in pop music

I certainly believe these were the best songs. But that does not mean they are actually good. I doubt any of them would have made the UK top 40 e.g. thirty years ago, on any given week.

Ben didn't just fail at screenwriting, he failed at screenwriting while trying to take advantage of nepotism. Do you know how much you have to suck for nepotism to not keep you from failing in Hollywood?

You forgot Hozier

Felt like instantly weeping with joy seeing Pink Pony Club taking top spot. That song makes me feel something I can't describe, every time I hear it. What a song.

15:57 that bar will always make me laugh because B# is not a really note/key/chord. That’s just C Major, whose relative minor key is A minorrrrrrrrrr. Like, how does someone who has been in the industry as long as Drake who probably has a decent grasp of basic music theory think that’s a ln acceptable response??

29:27 what is country music standing for that he can’t tolerate?

pink pony club is amazing

Brat’s cultural reach was simply like…your republican parents making fun of brat summer for an hour

Espresso or Not Like Us should be no. 1 Those songs are 2024.

when I realized pink pony club was #1 I started tearing up. idk why, that song just means a lot to me

Shaboozey was the only good song on this list, everything else complete garbage tier. Bland, generic, forgettable.
