#132.) **"Fancy Like"- Walker Hayes**

#131.) **"I Hope (Remix)"- Gabby Barrett ft. Charlie Puth**

Sean stated that the original song and the remix completely sunk on him over time, with its novelty being diminished. Criticizing Gabby's awful voice lathering in auto-tune, the production and the entire Charlie Puth feature missing the entire point of the song. Ending saying this is " We have Before He Cheats at home at nothing else".

Sean says that this song is worst thing that anyone apart of Zac Brown's EDM trio (Sir Roosevelt) has contributed to popular culture.

#128.) **"Track Star"- Mooski**

#124.) **"Throat Baby (Go Baby)"- BRS Kash**

Sean uses this segment to discuss how certain hit songs this year gave disgusting metaphors of asking and getting fellatio. And Sean reacts by giving "the puke gesture."

#116.) **"For The Night"- Pop Smoke ft. Lil Baby & DaBaby**

#115.) **"you broke me first"- Tate McCrae**

Sean implies that the song makes him too tired for any heavy critical remarks.

## MEH TIER

#114.) **"Traitor"- Olivia Rodrigo**

#113.) **"Better Together"- Luke Combs**

Sean says that hearing Luke Combs (who is known for having a burly singing voice), perform a quiet piano ballad is hilarious.

While, he replays the worst lyrics, about his "tone-deaf" charity single *Stuck With U*.

#108.) **"Arcade"- Duncan Laurence**

Sean does state that Duncan Laurence is actually using metaphors of his broken relationship to describe a casino. Since in the Netherlands (where Laurence is from), the word *arcade* often gets translated to *casino* a.k.a. "a place where people have an addiction to gambling".

#105.) **"Late At Night"- Roddy Ricch**

Sean gives an image taken from the Year-End Billboard 200 list of 2021, where Roddy Ricch's recent album *Live Life Fast*, is at #176 in sales. Being completely outside the top 100 best-selling albums of the year.

#104.) **"Essence"- WizKid ft. Tems & Justin Bieber**

Sean restates that Bieber is the "high-fructose corn syrup of pop music" where he meant to be sugary, artificial, and safe enough to make Americans eat up whatever his name is on.

#103.) **"Time Today"- Moneybagg Yo**

Sean replays the same Vine clip, where a man asks a worker standing in front of a bank if any robberies occured there. The worker replies "no". While another man, dressed as a robber carries a large sack away in a cartoonish fashion.

#102.) **"WITHOUT YOU"- The Kid Laroi**

Sean states how this song truly hit him when he's at his most miserable, but does make a point as why others may don't vibe with it.

#101.) **"Every Chance I Get"- DJ Khaled ft. Lil Baby & Lil Durk**

While Sean says that the main problem is the overly-repetitive production by Tay-Keith, the producer of the song.

#98.) **"You're Mine Still" - Yung Bleu ft. Drake**

#96.) **"Drinkin' Beer. Talkin' GOD. Amen."- Chase Rice ft. Florida Georgia Line**
