[@Hippiethecat124]

I think he once referred to the "In the Shadows" bit as being an artifact from concealing his identity for a job he no longer was involved in. Being in education would DEFINITELY add up, since kids would probably be super weird if they found out about his side-gig on KZbin. Niche enough that employers wouldn't readily have information on it, but broad enough appeal that a kid or two might put everything together.

[@redram5150]

Country music has become overtly popish and veered so far from what the majority of fans were accustomed to relative to a decade or so ago; “stadium country” has become a monogenre sold by marketing. Where Old Town Road succeeds is its simple concept that the average person can relate to. Being based in Trap music doesn’t hold it back because country music has courted rap music and fans for a while now. And Trap has the ability to plug into corners of country music the new sound can not touch and listeners want. This isn’t “Outlaw Country”, but it’s a hell of a lot closer. Eventually people become beleaguered worrying if their Wranglers are on just right and the label on their beer is facing the proper direction. The entire gist of the song is a primal scream that for a change this moment is for you and only you. And whether your choice is a horse, motorcycle, or the worn out boots on your feet; you’re going out to the quiet and dusty road to give it all you have until your body is so exhausted you cannot any longer.

It's just High Hopes but much better

[@exaltedb]

It’s simply just played way too much

[@charisdavidson9765]

Brendan9140 thats strange hearing, as in the UK it never made it into the charts. Its rly interesting to see how much the US charts differ to the ones I’m familiar with

[@jessicazeller8060]

The song is a bop and I’m not ashamed.

[@thehopeofeden597]

Todd, thank you so much for helping me through the decade. I seriously don't know if I could've gotten through growing up in the past few years without people and entertainers like you. Thank you so much man.

Honestly I can picture that exact same memory that Todd was talking about, it just comes up whenever the song is played, and I love that too

Todd as a substitute teacher is the most glorious and surprising thing I can think of

[@mimmikyute]

this is the best top ten list. You're just gushing with adoration at every single entry, it's adorable.

I honestly love PATD at any stage of their career, I kind of feel like it grew out of my emo phase with me

Funny how cut to 2021 Megan is debatably bigger than Cardi now and Lizzo has completely faded into obscurity

I dont even care, I'm just glad Panic got on the list, deadass jumped up and cheered when that little titlecard came up

Same, it's getting alot of hate in the comments but I love hey look ma and I'm glad todd does too

Same! It’s not one of my fav panic songs, but since their one of my favorite bands ever I’m still super happy to see them here

Brandon Croker Not really Panic; basically just Brendan Urie.

"The year isn't really over until I release this list, right?" Yeah, um, Todd, we're gonna need you to go ahead and get started on those 2020 lists ASAP.

[@KindaKaon]

Back in 2019, I was going through a bit of a “my music is the only legitimate music everything else is fake and bad” and the amount of times I would get needlessly pissed at Old Town Road playing is really funny to me now

[@nberry5]

How come I've been binge watching Todd for two weeks and JUST CAME UPON THIS

[@myettechase]

“Thinkin’ he’s a player, he’s a member on the team” is probably my favorite lyric of 2019

[@1917yee]

I love revisiting these videos years later lol

[@danka1167]

They age well and terribly. He assumed bad guy would be a classic, it was forgotten after like a week into 2020, the fight was between cardi and lizzo, that aged badly

[@synthiandrakon]

"in the debate between lizzo and cardi for the queen of rap have you considered voting Third party... Megan thee stallion" well it's not exactly a prediction but fuck it dood I'm counting it. Todd made an actually good prediction here

[@Shepfax]

Damn the comments on this one are super negative. I agreed with him. The songs on this part of the list are iconic and definitely representative of the year 2019
