Todd (VO): But for once, she's not asking you to take her seriously. Todd: I'd have killed for a fake friend at your age, you little brat! Todd (VO): Oh, look at little miss "two friends" over here! Yes, part of me wants to sniff at her silly teenage problems. Olivia: And they'd all be so disappointed But, then I remembered that child stars probably have it worse than anybody. Todd (VO): Now, the snob part of me says that a Disney girl doesn't remotely have the right to be playing riot girl dress-up. Todd: Her other rock song, "good 4 u", was the 2000s, but this is 90s to the core. I've been dying for a 90s revival since forever. It was a little odd to watch a whole bunch of 30-somethings and Gen X-ers erupt for this teen pop album. Which kicks open the Olivia Rodrigo era in a giant teenage explosion of stress and angst. And by far, my favorite song of hers was the album opener. Todd (VO): There are a couple songs on there that aren't about what's-his-face. It's not like you're gonna be dating a plumber next. His dating pool is probably gonna be other actresses. Todd (VO): Yes, Olivia, your ex-boyfriend is now dating a different actress. I'd hate to think that I was just your type

Todd: It's salt in the wound, not wound in. Todd: There were some clumsy parts in there. Todd: But I am especially eager to hear what she makes when she's moved on from this silly teenage breakup which dominates her debut album. And I'm looking forward to hearing more from her. Todd (VO): I like Olivia, I think she's very talented. Todd slams his fist down as the beat kicks in Todd (VO): The Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2021! #10 So, we're counting down!Ĭlip from DylanGLC's "Nothing Left To Lose", which serves as the interlude throughout the countdown But it is what it is, these were the songs I loved in a year that I didn't. Would've made writing this list a lot easier. I wish I'd picked artists I knew a little better, honestly. Most of the songs on here were from artists I wasn't really familiar with before, haven't really covered or put on any lists, some I hadn't ever even listened to at all. It just feels weird for something I made. I don't think it's gonna be controversial, I didn't put Florida Georgia Line on here or anything. But, even within that narrow field, this list feels a little off the beaten path for me. Todd: Now, I only write about big hits, cause that's way easier. These are all good songs I enjoyed, but I never once considered them candidates for the Best List. Lil Nas X's album was really good, but I liked it more on the whole than I did any individual song from it. Todd (VO): I like Olivia, but I'm not over the moon for her. The Weeknd - "You Right" Silk Sonic - "Leave the Door Open" Lil Nas X - " Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber - "Stay" Dua Lipa ft.

Montage clip of Olivia Rodrigo - " drivers license" Doja Cat ft. Todd: I just feel kinda disconnected from the blockbuster hitmakers this year. Todd (VO): So why did 2021 strike me as so disappointing? Uh, I don't know. Actually, these are pretty good songs.Ĭlip of video counting down to the 2022 New Year But, as I was putting together this list, I was looking at it, and uh. And that was true, as you can tell by how fucking long it took me to make this video. By the standard that I was more interested in writing the Worst List than the Best List. Todd: So, when I did this year's worst list, I said 2021 was not a good year. Justin Bieber & Tems - "Essence" on piano
