Roasting the Top 10 Songs of 2011 

Damn, Never expected Pitbull to rate his own song so low. Truly shows how humble he remained even after worldwiding all over the whole world.

Reminder that LMFAO dropped Party Rock Anthem, And then shortly after they dropped an album called "Sorry For Party Rocking" and then dipped forever. Absolutely heroes

Pitbull: corny, tasteless, tactless - F tier LMFAO: corny, tasteless, tactless - A tier and Party Rock Anthem is the powerhouse of the cell

Katy Perry: "Do you ever feel, like a plastic bag?" Melon: "OH GOD yes!"

Putting Pitbull in the F tier is an insult to music. He’s one of the musicians ever.

"They calling me an alien, a big headed astronaut. Maybe it's because ya boi Yeezy get ass a lot." Quality craftsmanship like this DESERVES S-tier.

My uncle played that Pitbull song at his wedding so I eternally have the image of a bunch of middle aged people trying to dance to it.

Pitbull could write In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, but Jeff Magnum could never write Fireball

“I absolutely love this song” proceeds to put it in B tier

Anthony casually destroys my entire childhood. Very entertaining. Subbed.

Pleasantly surprised to see Party Rock Anthem getting the respect it deserves. It's a rare track that is simultaneously masterful and shameful

If you google pitbull, it is not the animal that appears first, but the demigod himself, Mr. Worldwide. That’s how powerful he is. Some people want his Voicebox to be destroyed by gorillas but he doesn’t care. Also, F-Tier doesn’t mean anything to him. He would say: “S for the sex E for the e in X, forget about your ex Y, ’cause baby, I’m up next B for the best O for the one D ’cause I’m down Y, yolo, done”

As a guy born in '99 and someone who fell asleep listening to pop radio every night, 2009-2013 pop charts are my kryptonite. "Give Me Everything" might be terrible but I can't help but love it due to the nostalgia it brings.

Uh how was fireworks verses not memorable? “Do you ever feel, like a plastic bag” is pretty memorable as far as pop songs go.

The way he rips into all of these formative classics and then lauds the party rock anthem is so glorious

That Pitbull track is honestly one of the most nostalgic tracks on the planet for me

I think what Party Rock Anthem and Tik Tok do so similarly is they didn’t take themselves too seriously so when you look back to it, it still holds the same value as it did back then

The series we didn’t know we needed

It was such a wild era for radio music, especially with Party Rock Anthem, which seemed to start the trend of having EDM-centric pop songs.

I’m surprised Somebody I Used to Know didn’t make the top 10, it felt like that song was everywhere in 2011. Easily one of the best pop songs of the decade Edit: I didn’t realize it actually came out really late in 2011 so it’ll definitely be on the 2012 list :)

Cant wait for Roasting the Top Songs of 2012: Gotye ft. Kimbra - Get Got Carly Rae Jepsen - The Fever (Aye Aye) fun. ft. Janelle Monae - Lost Boys Maroon 5 ft. Wiz Khalifa - Blackjack Ellie Goulding - Hustle Bones The Wanted - I've Seen Footage Kelly Clarkson - Double Helix Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris - System Blower Nicki Minaj - The Cage One Direction - Punk Weight Flo Rida ft. Sia - Fuck That Adele - Bitch Please LMFAO - Hacker

very glad the clarification of party rock *is* in the house tonight was made

Fun fact: Both of the songs Fantano put in the C category are written by Bruno Mars.

Thank you so much for acknowledging the true art behind LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem And beyond the memes and nostalgia, I think it’s a strangely unique track that couldn’t have happened without the very specific timing it had, we’re never gonna see something else quite like it

fantano: "so glad this era of club music is dead" 8th grade me in 2011 jammin to club hits like every damn day: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that"

Melon, great of you to forgive Drake by putting his cookie recipe in S Tier

2011 was my first year in college, and therefore the year I've partied the most so I must have heard each of these song more than a thousand times, and although I don't really enjoy any of them, they do bring back a lot of good memories maybe there's no such thing as bad music: you're just not drunk enough

Never thought I’d see Adele and LMFAO on a list back to back

This year is probably going to be the last one where my foremost mode of music consumption was hearing what was playing on the school bus radio.

The Cee Lo part of this video is hilarious given how I remember Anthony raving about the song back in the day when he did the Track Review for it

Firework has amazing verses. Who can forget "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag"

I remember sittin in the car as an 18 year old. My 60 y/o dad truly taken aback by the notion that someone would really throw a grenade for YUH. Like it really hit my dad in his feels.

“Me not working hard? Yeah, picture that with a Kodak. Or better yet, go to time square and picture me with a Kodak.”

Genuinely could not stop smiling when you were praising Party Rock Anthem

We need more of this segment. I love seeing my favorite pop songs being torn to shreds.

Giving Party Rock Anthem an A is self care. Still love that fucking track. Instrumentals go insane

The gap between Rolling in the Deep and Party Rock Anthem is a vast chasm

Petition to increase this to the top 15 songs of each year instead of just the top 10.

As an Englishman I really would love to hear and watch Anthony listen to and give his opinion on some of the British pop music from the 2000s and early 2010s (like Girls Aloud, Robbie Williams, Take That, James Blunt etc). Especially ones that weren't popular in the United States at the time but massive in the UK

I guess you never felt like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again.

I'm so happy this has become an official series now. It absolutely rocks. I already knew Adele was getting S tier before I watched this video; no debate that's a timeless song, but I was also glad you respect Party Rock Anthem for the absolute iconic bop it is. 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.

Anyone remember Rocketeer? Came in out in late 2010 but popped off mid 2011. One of my all time favorite songs. Can’t think of a happier time and song to cheer me up.

Anthony, would love to see you review the top indie albums tracks or artists during these same years. I always thought of the early 2010s indie scene as the golden age for indie/alternative music

Can someone please tell me where that yell in the background at 1:44 is from. I think ive heard it on eric andre but i need to know what its called.

It's good to know that "Someboy that I used to know" is above S tier as it should be

We finally know fantanos honest thoughts on Party Rock Anthem and I couldn’t be happier!

Every word of the Adele part couldn’t be more true ! Adele has a way of making that feels like it was injected directly into the part of you that feels things most deeply. Rolling in the deep is no different! Absolute classic.

My first ever concert was a LMFAO concert I was in the 7th grade and had vip tickets 😂 Best way to start my concert career

This has got to be the most memorable year of music for me. I know every single one of these songs and it was played on the radio during a very impressionable time for me so they are all deeply engrained.

How DARE you say the early 2010s era of club pop was bad. That style of music defined my life in elementary school

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

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

LMFAO's Party Rock is a timeless song for any party, if it doesn't play at least once out of so many songs then it wasn't a good party.

It’s honestly so surreal to hear Anthony review the songs that I heard on the radio constantly in my childhood. As a 2003 kid the years around this one are the years where I listened to the most mainstream radio music. 2008-2014 was probably my peak of radio and that’s what’s being reviewed. I might be alone in this, but it’s such an interesting look back

I can’t believe Anthony put the greatest song ever in F tier

Super Bass is iconic. Literally everyone in my generation knows that entire first verse word for word. It’s a guaranteed smash if u put it on anywhere to get ppl signing along & having a good time. A category for me.

Fuck me, I'm crumbling to dust realizing Moves Like Jagger is ELEVEN YEARS OLD

Excited to see the 2012 one, I just know Charly Rae Jepsen is gonna be on that “S” spot with Call Me Maybe.

I love this series. Would be really interested to see some years farther back like in the 80s and 90s

We need a video next for every year from 2012-2021. Good luck Anthony

whoever was on the hook of that pitbull song killed it though

Some weeks ago I went to a wedding and Party Rock Anthem started, I didn't remember how good it was and it certainly has aged very well

Rolling in the Deep isn't from 2011, it is a timeless 2010's decade masterpiece

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

I swore these songs came out over the course of like 4 years. Like I thought Party Rock and Rolling in the Deep were like 2013 and Firework was like 2009.

i'm sorry but Party Rock Anthem is S tier

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

Party Rock Anthem is definitely one of the songs of all time, Anthony, thanks for bringing that up.

Super Bass is a masterpiece honestly. So much personality.

Bruh party rock is and easy S tier for me, the memories I have of people trying to shuffle at school are coming up right now and I’m just laughing my ass off

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

Now I need a Black Eyed Peas singles tier list

E.T. deserves to be in A just for how amazing the nightcore remix sounds.

you cant just yell party rock anthem for 13 minutes and call it a day

Anthony! These videos are great!! When you’re done the 2010’s pick a decade, any decade. Good work.

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.

Some critics hate artists, but Melon hates whole-ass years.

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 absolutely love the concept for this video, absolutely genius. Please make more

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

Can’t wait for the 2016 video where every song is put in the S tier

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.

I love the production and electronic pop of ET so much. plus the bridge (on the non Kanye feature) is so good

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.

I kind of want a roast of top billboard hits between 1989 and 1999

Love your Adele take. 2011 is monumental for me in every way, 39 years old best year of my life. And the soundtrack didn't disappoint. TV on the radio (nine types of light, one of my top 20 albums of all time no shit), fleet foxes, my morning jacket, rubblebucket, cut copy, death cab for cutie, so many others. It was a year of extreme inspiration in my little hippy hipster zone. Even wrote a song about it that goes, there will never be a heaven like 2011

That pitbull fade into F made me laugh my ass off

Thank you for that intro it literally made me feel better. It would be awesome if you continue every video with that, not trying to tell you how to do your videos just know that it will probably help other people like it did me

This series has the only videos about multiple artists and multiple songs in which I know every artists and song. No dull moments

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

I'm so glad you decided to release episode two of melon man makes fun of songs my iPod nano had on repeat in middle school

I had forgotten how good Rolling in the deep is. Fantastic song.

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😆

I turned 21 towards the end of June this year and revisiting all of these songs gives me a crazy amount of nostalgia

Hey man, could you do an update on your headphone situation? Btw, I really recommend that you try the Sennheiser HD 600, this pair has been made since the 90's and they are still considered one of the best headphones, I am sure you would really love them (they are open back too, with really neutral tuning).

Anthony been waiting his whole life for his opportunity to sing that "will be loved"

I will NOT tolerate any Fuck You slander. That song is a timeless bop

i’m super excited for this series to continue lol

Please keep doing this Fantano. I wasn't a fan before, but that Drake stuff showed that you aren't as serious as I thought. You're pretty harmless man. Keep up the good work.

Anthony shouting in defense of party rock anthem has to be one of his best moments
