Nothing reminds me of elementary school days quite like that song. Or Moves Like Jagger for that matter. Personally, that's one of my favorite Maroon 5 songs. Where you find the melody annoying (and I can totally see why), I think it's catchy as fuck. It actually came on the radio when I was doing my homework today and I had to stop everything to vibe to it.

[@stevenignatieff3220]

It’s so weird seeing you review the songs I grew up with like you do on your main channel. I don’t even necessarily like a lot of the songs but I almost feel defensive over them bc they take me back in a way😆

[@jimpachi98]

Fantano calling Firework's verses forgettable... I'm sorry but the very first line "do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" Absolute banger

[@salpacino699]

I’ll never forget grenade by Bruno Mars being in the charts because one day in my hs health class the teacher had like a guest speaker come in to talk to us about abusive relationships and she used the lyrics to that song as an example. I like some of Bruno’s stuff but that song still gives me the chills a bit

[@nothingreally6680]

Super Bass is a masterpiece honestly. So much personality.

[@bonkknob3240]

not exactly a good personality though

[@antoniosanichar943]

Shit was ass ngl 😭, majority of the songs from that era are just so bad. In fact the only song on this list that I would listen to is rolling in the deep. All the rest aged like milk

[@1WEareBUFO1]

Yer , like slicker than a guy with a thing on his eye 😅

[@nothingreally6680]

@@antoniosanichar943 would prefer something more forward thinking rather than spruced up amy winehouse style oldschool rehashes that we've already heard but better. just compare the bridge of that song vs that of super bass and we're done.

A party is still incomplete without that song or Starships, even 11 years later

[@fetamean]

Honestly, bro. You going back to 2011 tracks is bringing me back to watching Todd in the Shadows videos back in the early 2010's. A lot of these songs he'd at least mentioned or covered and my god, it's just a memory pool. I still love Todd, too. Still makes great content.

[@neverafrown6308]

Todd up!

[@pnw8836]

These videos are just Melon roasting the middle school throwbacks I still like. Personally always enjoyed Moves Like Jagger and a majority of Pitbulls hits (especially Pitbull/Ne-Yo collabs), but maybe I’m just riding nostalgia. Party Rock Anthem is like a guilty pleasure meme song.

[@ThiccOleCat]

Grenade was my intro to Bruno. Was a pleasant surprise when I heard other songs and found out he doesn't suck.

Rolling in the Deep is a rare 2010s hit that's as high quality as the hits from the 80s and 90s It's just a step above most 2010s chart music

F You is such a genius song. One of the most profane and angry breakup songs ever with one of the happiest and catchiest instrumentals ever. I can’t even listen to the Forget You version that I heard on the radio as a kid all the time. The uncensored version is perfect.

Please keep doing these roasting the top 10 songs of every year videos. They are great!

[@opossum_elysium]

LOVING these videos, Melon, keep it up! Rolling In The Deep DEFINITELY slaps harder than pretty much any Top 10 hit from that decade, this is undeniable. And, at least to me, Firework's chorus is so amazing that it makes up for the verses, which I don't think are THAT bad, they get goin a little after the first few lines.

[@nonexistentlakerfan22]

anything other than S tier for rolling in the deep would have been criminal honestly

[@mikeytappe]

Not a Nicki fan at all, but Superbad’s is deserving of an A. It’s a damn good pop song. Well performed and good production.

[@zaiah9252]

I agree. One of the better songs from her Career

[@Advent3546]

Sure when Ne-Yo or Pitbull grabs somebody sexy and tells them "HEY! GIVE ME EVERYTHING! TONIGHT!" it's cool but when I do that I get a restraining order.

I was in the car this morning and heard Moves Like Jagger on the radio on some pop station and was like "Wow, this is from like 2011, can't believe they're still playing this on pop radio" And as soon as I got home I see it on this list.

[@thegraveyard8893]

Kinda surprised Born This Way didn’t make this list. I feel like I couldn’t go anywhere without hearing that song in 2011.

When I still bought individual songs off iTunes for like $2-3 each I actually accidentally bought that version of Alien with Kanye West because you could only preview a little of the song before buying it and they only showed me the bits without him, didn’t even know the Kanye version existed cause I’d never heard it before (my radio only played the Katy Perry only version). So I have that song burned into my memory
