[spoiler]10. Normally I'd give Imagine Dragons a pass since there was some distinction to their songs, but this was the first time I felt sick of them. Can we really call them alternative after they make a song about sticking it to the haters who said they'd never make it? The music video's pretty cool though.
9. Personally I would've put Don't Wanna Know on there just for debasing Kendrick Lamar. Never knew this song existed until now, and considering the gargantuan amount of bland ass singles they've pumped out, I'll probably never hear it again.
8. It's basically Thinking Out Loud 2.0 ft. Beyonce. And I'm in complete agreement on how ridiculously deified Beyonce has become. I feel like she could impale a kitten on her stiletto, shove her tampon in an orphan's mouth and snort a line of shredded pages of the Quran and her fans will still be like YAAAAAS QUEEEEEEN!
7. Now this is where Imagine Dragons' attempts to sound epic and mammoth (by which I mean pushing the vocals and the drums WAAAAY into the forefront) really started to get on my tits.
6. Gross
5. I saw a picture of this guy on a Needle Drop video and immediately thought "This guy can't be real. This is an SNL character making fun of trap rappers." And if you're going to rip off Migos, why on God's green earth would you rip off THE WORST GOD DAMN SONG THEY EVER MADE?
4. Did anyone ask for a sex song from this guy? For a guy who gets laid quite often, it's amazing how he managed to write a sex jam that sounds like it was written by a virgin.
3. I pity the poor souls who has to hear this at work on a loop. (I saw a comment who said he once heard this 25 times in 8 hours. He counted.)
2. I can't really add anything that hasn't been combed over. Just glad to see that Todd has finally caught up to what I've been saying for the last six years.
1. Taylor, honey..... No.
Dishonorable mentions:
-I'm not hard on this song at all. It at least tries. Plus it feels like we need a song like this now more than ever. But yeah, that one line does really throw things off.
-I've heard a few people on the Channel Awesome forums say that this a best of the year contender. I don't see it.
-Yeah, this could've benefitted from one more proofread.
-Oh Jason Derulo, never change. But I'd appreciate it if you did.
-I'm amazed Todd has gone this long without covering a Pink song. In fact, I'm surprised Pink has managed to stick around for so long. But considering how bland her music tends to be, I'm not really surprised.
-I've never heard this song on the radio before, but every time I check the Billboard Hot 100 out of curiosity, I always see it hovering around in the mid-tier. Either those Pitch Perfect movies are bigger than I thought, or being part of Taylor Swift's Squad™ has some serious benefits.
-I haven't cringed this hard since I first heard the Smurf version of I'm Too Sexy.[/spoiler]
