- Oh! We made a mistake!
- This list is stressing me out.
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- (FBE) So Don, some really great music
has been released so far this year. - Are you talking to me?
- (FBE) So in honor of us being about halfway through the year,
today we're going to show you the top ten albums of 2019 so far
and see if you can correctly place them in order from one to ten.
- Oh, top ten albums of 2019.
- (FBE) So this list is gonna be based on data collected
by Nielson and it's ranked by what's called
Total Album Equivalent Consumption, which is just a combination
of album sales, song sales, and audio streams.
- I remember when it was just record sales.
- (FBE) So we'll be showing you a popular song off the album
and you'll give your best guess as to where the album itself
ranks from one to ten based on that data.
- Okay, sounds good.
- (FBE) So we're gonna give you this. - This is gonna be fun.
I'm excited.
- (FBE) And while you're watching, you can start placing
the videos where you think they are in the top ten.
If you get an answer perfectly correct,
you'd get two points, but if you're just one off,
you still get one point. - Okay.
- (FBE) Ready to do this? - Let's do it.
I'm so excited!
- ♪ White shirt now red, my bloody nose ♪
- Yes, dude!
- Billie! I had a feeling that this was in the top ten.
- I feel like this has to be very up there.
This has been everywhere.
- ♪ So you're a tough guy ♪
- I. Love. Her.
- ♪ Chest always so puffed guy ♪
- I probably liked 2 million of these streams alone.
- ♪ Make your mama sad type ♪
♪ Make your girlfriend mad tight ♪
- (singing along) ♪ Might seduce your dad type ♪
♪ I'm a bad guy ♪
Duh.
Yes!
- All I was doing was focusing on her nose,
what was dripping out of her nose.
- I've been hearing this song a lot on the radio.
- (FBE) All right, so where do you think this is in the top ten?
- Really, really high.
I'm gonna put it as two for now.
- I think it's number one.
- Billie Eilish gets one for me.
- Billie Eilish is When We All Fall Asleep,
Where Do We Go, one of the best albums of the year.
I'm gonna start at three.
- ♪ Damn, my AP goin' psycho ♪
♪ Lil' mama bad like Michael ♪
- (sighing) I love Post Malone.

- This was last year's top ten.
- ♪ My roof look like a no-show ♪ - Eh.
- ♪ Got diamonds by the boatload ♪
♪ Come with the Tony Romo ♪
♪ For clowns and all the bozos ♪ - I hear this song a lot
but I know it's not number one.

- (singing along) ♪ My roof look like a no-show ♪
♪ Got diamonds by the boatload ♪
- ♪ Don't act like you my friend ♪
♪ When I'm rollin' through my ends, though ♪

And up and down and up and down
and nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh.
Screw it.
- (FBE) So you were in this episode last year
and this album was in the episode last year
in 2018 but also made the list in 2019. - That's insane.
So I'm trying to think would that still be higher
or would that make it lower?
I'm gonna put Post at two.
- Number five.
- A lot of the songs on here, I think, are still played
very often on the radio.
I'm actually gonna put Post at number two.
- I'll put him at number two for now because I know who he is
and I like him.
- ♪ One taught me love ♪
- Oh! This is number one-- - It has to be one or two.
- I love Ariana Grande. There's not one song by her
that I don't like.
- ♪ But that's not what I see ♪

- This also was a bop that everyone was quoting,
everyone was playing.
- I love this music video.
- ♪ Thank you, next (next) ♪

- ♪ I'm so [bleep] grateful for my ex ♪

was a really good album.
Everyone streamed that.
I was listening to it this morning on the way here.
- We are gonna put that at number three.
- Number six.
- I'm gonna put it at one.
- Number three because you hear it on the radio
but not all the time.
- I love this album. It's probably my favorite.
I can't let my bias of loving her mix into the actual score
but I'll also put her at one.
- ♪ Look back at it ♪
♪ She ain't never do this before ♪ - Who's that?
- I have never heard of this person. - Oh, gosh.
- Okay, never heard of him and it says "Boogie."
That's not a boogie that's a rap song.
- That's his name? Okay.
- ♪ Oh, the girls just wanna have fun... ♪
- I don't know who this is.

but I know the song.

I mean, I've heard this before on the radio and stuff.
- ♪ These girls ain't really no good for me, yeah ♪
- Really? This is in top?
I've been bombarded with all these artists
on my timeline, like Spotify, the radio, they're all in my face.
He hasn't been.
I'll put him at ten.
- What's his name again?
I don't even know how to put it.
"A Hoodie With a Booty"? What was it?
- We're gonna put him at number ten because I don't even know who he is.
- Number ten.
- I'm gonna put Boogie at number eight.
- It's gonna be like one of those things
where it's like we have no idea and never heard of it
and it's gonna be number one. - Yeah.
- We're putting Hoodie at number nine.

- (singing along) ♪ Mama... ooh-oo-ooh ♪
- I actually think that the movie probably made the original Queen music
played more than the soundtrack.
- ♪ Carry on, carry on ♪
♪ Because nothing really matters... ♪ - Oh, I love it.
- God, good song. God, a good song.
- (FBE) So where are you putting Queen? - Two.
- I'm gonna put it at two but I'll probably move it.
- This movie came out and everyone lost it, you know,
and I'm sure that equals tons of Queen streams.
I'm gonna put Queen at number five.
- Oh, I've heard of Khalid, yeah.
- Khalid, Free Spirit. That's right.
That album came out this year.

♪ Nothin' feels better than this ♪
- He's a radio bombard, too.
Love his music. I think he's so talented
but I know any music he releases, like,
will be shoved down my throat for three weeks straight.
- He's so good. Okay.
We're just gonna put him at six for now though.
- I'll put seven.
- I'm gonna put Khalid at five.
- Seven.
His voice didn't capture me, his delivery.
- For now, I'll just put it at number five.
I can see already I'm gonna change some of these
but that's okay.
- ♪ I've been dancin' on top of cars ♪
- OH! We made a mistake!

- Number four.
I like the Jonas Brothers.
I understand their lyrics. It's romantic.
- Oh, my heart wants to just be like you deserve number one.
I already have spots one through five filled,
so I'd have to put them at six because that's the highest
I can give them.
- ♪ She told me put my heart in a bag ♪
Juice WRLD.
Yeah, this is really good.

yeah, screw my ex every times he sings.

A very great artist that has been up and coming.
- I'm gonna give him a nine.

That's just every-- GOD!
That deserves number one, too.
- My only spots open are four and ten,
so I'm gonna put it at four.
- Numero uno. I love the artist.
Bradley Cooper is a surprise.
- This song was really good but, again, I'm not sure
if I can recall any other song from this soundtrack.
I'm gonna put it at five but I'm definitely gonna drop it.
- ♪ That's a real one in your reflection ♪
- Ooh, Drake is not number one.
- Drake is always super high up there.
- ♪ You gotta be nice for what... ♪
- I hear this song a lot. It's okay.
- ♪ You got a baby Benz, you got some bad friends ♪
♪ High school pics, you was even bad then ♪
- He so deserves it.
I saw him live, I'm pretty sure for this tour.
He's incredible.
- Dang, this is gonna be a tough list!
- (gasping) I love her! She's so cute!
- That's some really good people in the music video,
but he's not number one. Sorry, Drake.
- It's a really good album.
- This list is stressing me out.
I guess I'll put him at eight.
- I put Scorpion at number one.
- Number five.
I really should drop that one into no man's land, frankly,
because it sounds like everything else.
- (FBE) So now that you've watched through all of these,
we're gonna give you a chance to make your changes.
Let us know when you're locked. - Okay.
- Jonas Brothers is gonna be three now and Ariana Grande is gonna be four.
- We'll make Juice WRLD number ten and we'll make Boogie number nine.
- Hoodie should be ten because I like Drake better.
- Just because we all know how much I love Queen,
I'm putting the soundtrack there at number one for Queen.
- (FBE) So now that you're done making changes,
we're gonna go from number ten to number one
and we'll see how many you got right. - Okay, let's do it.
- (FBE) Don't forget, you get two points
for every one you got spot on and one point for every one
that you were one away from getting right.
- You know what? I don't care.
I know what I like!
- (FBE) Number ten... - I swear.
- (FBE) What?
- It's gonna be something big and I'll be like WHY?!
- (FBE) Number ten is Jonas Brothers with their album Happiness Begins.
- WHY?!
- What? I hear them a lot on the radio!
What the heck?
- I wasn't even near right.
- (FBE) Number nine is Juice WRLD with Death Race--
- I got one right!
- Two points!
- I got that right.
- Oh, my god! We're so stupid.
- (FBE) Number eight is Queen with
Bohemian Rhapsody, the original movie soundtrack.
- (gasping) Pfft. No. Now I'm mad.
Okay.
- I got eight for Queen!
- Ah... okay. That's also incorrect.
I set Queen at six.
- (FBE) Number seven, Drake with Scorpion.
- No, I have him at number eight.
- Didn't get that right.
- Shut up! Wow, we messed up.
- (FBE) Number six, Post Malone.
- Two points! I'm doing good!
- I'm pretty surprised by that, too.
Every time I go on Google Play, he's right up there.
- See, I'm totally out of it.
These people, I don't know who's gonna be number one.
- (FBE) Number five is A Boogie With a Hoodie.
- That's tight.
- Really? Well... I knew that.
- I put them as tenth.
- Number five? What the heck?
- (FBE) Number four is Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper,
A Star is Born soundtrack. - I'm sorry
but everybody else is wrong and I'm right.
- Wow, still up there. Good job.
- (FBE) Number three, Khalid. - I got three for Khalid.
- Oh, and I had him at two.
I had Jonas Brothers at three, where they belong.
- (FBE) Number two, Billie Eilish When We All Fall Asleep,
Where Do We Go? - Billie at two?
That's tight!
- Two points!
- I was one off.
- I should have assumed that she would have been higher.
Everyone's very obsessed with her at the moment.
- (FBE) What that means... number one is Ariana Grande
with Thank U, Next. - Wow.
You know, she's been through a lot, so I'm really happy
she's up there.
- I'm glad that Billie's number two. Ariana Grande?
(fake crying)
- I got that one right!
- I should have gone with my gut. I'm so sorry, Ari.
- I'm sorry, Ariana, but I hear "Bad Guy" more.
- (FBE) So finally, since we have different generations
here to shoot this episode, we're wondering
do you think that your generation still cares about actual albums
now that people can just stream the songs that they like?
- I think we care about them.
- I really don't think so because we can stream songs,
so we can just pick our single songs that we enjoy.
- Albums in the past, they do a better job now than then
because we would have a hit song and we couldn't wait
to get an album out, so we'd just slap ten other songs
in there, so I think albums are worth their money now
more than in the past.
- It's people my age who are the big music fanatics
and they're the ones who care a lot about this new album dropped.
Let's listen to the whole thing through and see what's up
and create a conversation.
