'THE TOP TEN BEST HIT SONGS OF 2017 A year-end review'

Todd: [sighs] Okay, I'm finally getting this list out. I mean I did get the list out earlier this year. Still feels like I'm way behind. [sighs again] Anyway...Hey! Remember 2017?"Montage clips of Imagine Dragons - 'Thunder'undefined; Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee - 'Despacito'undefined; DJ Khaled ft. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper & Lil Wayne - 'I'm the One'undefined; Ed Sheeran - 'Castle on the Hill'undefined; French Montana ft. Swae Lee - 'Unforgettable'undefined; Charlie Puth - 'Attention'undefined; Ed Sheeran - 'Shape of You'undefined; The Weeknd ft. Daft Punk - 'I Feel It Coming'undefined"Todd (VO): Not a good year for mainstream music, right? Well, actually I'm not sure how I judge whether a year is good or not. Right when the year is over, I'm like, "Did I mostly enjoy the music this year?" And this year the answer to that is definitely no.

Todd: But the further in the past a year gets, the more I tend to ignore all the shitty parts, and just judge it by how good the best stuff was. And I gotta admit, the stuff I liked in 2017 I really liked. "Montage clips of Zedd & Alessia Cara - 'Stay'undefined; DJ Khaled ft. Rihanna & Bryson Tiller - 'Wild Thoughts'undefined; Julia Michaels - 'Issues'undefined; James Arthur - 'Say You Won't Let Go'undefined; Camilla Cabello ft. Young Thug - 'Havana'; Shawn Mendes - 'There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back'undefined"Todd (VO): Granted that could be because the rest of the year was so samey sounding that the good stuff stood out way more. Or maybe it was just how surprising this year was. No one did what I expected them to do. Acts I hated turned out great, acts I at least respected turned to complete dog shit. Maybe I'm projecting, but it sure seems like there was an upheaval.

Todd: But I will say this. I had extreme difficulty narrowing my favorites down to ten this year. That hasn't happened in a while, so you know what? Hey, maybe things aren't so bad. So let's get to it. We're counting down..."Clip from DJ Drybones's 'Top Pop Songs Of 2017 Mashup (Take It Slow), which serves as the interlude throughout the countdown.""Charlie Puth: You just wanna""Ed Sheeran: Love somebody like me"Todd (VO): The Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2017!"The Weeknd: When you're alone with me""Alessia Cara: All you have to do is"
