i dont agree with a lot of what i said in '18 but i had so much fun making that worst list. might do another long video for the best of this year, might not.

That’s why it’s only number ten! I wanted to be more lenient, but the year didn’t give me a lot to choose from.

"Fuel" and "Tobey" were both really good!

houdini just sucks shit man

@@ytgshlung how tho? It’s a fun catchy song, and the lyrics are making fun of people saying “gen Z is trying to cancel Eminem” he’s not actually being serious yk it’s satire

@ViperAceFilms the lyrics suck, it's a bad interpolation, it's been done enough already and it's just gimmicky.

@ it’s been done 3 times in 22 years and it’s a nostalgic nod for the old fans to enjoy but if you don’t like hip hop I guess you wouldn’t like it

Wasn't eligible + is funny.

Never let bro make a list again 😭

Carnival is buns.

Faxx 🙌

ur crazy

both singles are mid but not bad

"BURN" wasn't gonna be the hit. I'll admit that there is a decent-to-good pop rap album buried within Vultures 1 & 2 - that's why I shouted out Yedits, and I have my own personal 14-track compilation that I've personally spun many times - but if anything passable on the real albums had a shot at success, it would probably have been "FIELD TRIP," and that one had a terrible Kodak Black feature.

most the hype was because of the carti verse and that we heard it before the album dropped, but then it became a hit off of the obnoxious 'go go go go'

@@cerealissoup84I like Playboi Carti more than most, I cannot imagine being gagged by his “CARNIVAL” feature.

@@lydiavalentino This is also coming off his run of single releases and it was more deep voice which was still quite new to us. People were also hyped for fuck sum for similar reasons, carti being so opposed to dropping makes all his releases and features blow up.

As a nepo baby myself (#iykyk) I just ask for discussion that doesn't veer into outright conspiracy.

I agree 100 %! I still very much recall my first time listening to High Road ... I was genuinely speechless at how bad that song is. Death by a thousand cuts, as it were. Toxic ass content, a chorus that sounds like freaking Dirt Road Anthem, and a Jessie Murph contribution that somehow makes it even worse; her whole verse just sounds wrong and clashes horribly because someone seems to have screwed up the mixing big-time. If I did a list like this, High Road would run away with the number one spot, and I'm honestly a little grateful for that because none of the other bad songs to make it big in 2024 are really that bad in the grand scheme of things. Calling something like Greedy, Everybody, or Miles On It (which is honestly just hilarious to me and doesn't really inspire a lot of loathing) the worst song of the year just seems wrong.

She is one of the worst artists of all time

I don't like to rule out the possibility of improvement, especially for someone who's barely older than I am, but I skimmed through the rest of her Top 5 on Spotify and... she's batting zero so far, .067 if I'm being generous.

Benson Boone comes very close

@@lydiavalentino Trust me, I'm not just saying that based on her 2 hits, I've heard her other stuff

"truck bed" came out first but that's how writing this list felt

Definitely. Mainstream music was one of the trashiest. I genuinely didn't like anything that came #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Only HISS was good.

Interesting list! I am glad that someone else seems to share my distaste for Yes, And, though I do, in fact, like Whiskey Whiskey quite a bit. Yes, seriously.

​@@beatoriche7301Weirdly enough, Morgan Wallen is probably my favorite artist. "Whiskey Whiskey" is something even I couldn't defend, though.

facts doesnt _count_ as a hit lets be real

​@thatoneguy9582 my rules are that anything that hits the Billboard top 50 or reached the year-end counted toward my list. "Facts", despite being a complete fluke, did count.

Carnival is good

Anti-Benson Clan forever❤

Absolutely, an interesting list bashes at least one thing you like. In my case, it’s Houdini, as it feels like a return to form for Eminem.

@@ShenDoodles I understand, "Houdini" only being No. 10 was more forgiving than I expected to be when I first heard it. To its credit, the "Abracadabra" sample works better as a goofy Eminem hook than in its original context.

Better that than the mainline Kanye rabbit hole in big 2025

She was on like him with Tyler the creator

same subject matter, "who" is more a freezer-burned early-'00s pop/r&b song (a la enrique iglesias).

a.r.m.y. streaming party to keep it from going recurrent on billboard

@@lydiavalentino -on its 20th week on chart instead of the 21st when it can actually go recurrent, interestingly-

v30 disqualifies holiday songs from entering so no

I can’t speak for them, but the V30 year-end comes the weekend of the last Thursday of the year.

"sticky," maybe "like him"

This is the first time using a raw points system for the year-end (the Crownnote leaderboard is what I've used in years past, not now), so I don't have a prior reference, but my estimation is 94.

Don't feel bad lol some of us actually think he's great

love somebody isn’t really a bad song, but he gets annoying after a while

The 2016 type quality drought might continue into the 2030’s TBH

Well, holiday music is disqualified from the V30, so that first part's entirely off.
