** Kyper said on his Website/YouTube channel that he enjoyed Todd's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA3PZ91LAAw&lc=UgzVNdjMnhPqpocBBl14AaABAg.8cAaz8txpxE8cBKfx89Z7a OHW on "Tic Tac Toe".]] He even appeared in the comment section, confirming that he's now a sales manager at an O'Reilly Auto Parts in Baton Rouge.

** The songs featured on ''One Hit Wonderland'' tend to get more attention every time Todd does an episode on them, with many comments on Website/YouTube on music videos mention that Todd brought them there. In particular, a number of viewers credited Todd's video on "Oh Yeah" with helping them become fans of Music/{{Yello}}, a band whose international popularity was previously limited to a cult following in Europe. A case that was not the episode's subject was "Dog Police".

** When Todd originally uploaded the "Whatcha Say" review on Website/YouTube in 2009, it was quickly removed thanks to the site's policies towards Warner Music properties. He was eventually forced to put it on Dailymotion.

** His "The Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2023" video got blocked for nearly a week in February 2024 as of the time of writing due to a copyright claim from Collab Asia Music, the management company of Fifty Fifty, whose song "Cupid" was #7 on the list.

** His "The Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2023" video got blocked for nearly a week in February 2024 as of the time of writing due to a copyright claim from the management company of FIFTY FIFTY, whose song "Cupid" was #7 on the list.

* BlackSheepHit: Despite self-admittedly hating drama, Todd's video cataloguing James Somerton's frequent factual errors, done almost completely absent his usual style, has quickly become his most popular video of all time. He's ruefully admitted that, despite disliking drama, it turns out he's good at it.

** Jyoti Mishra of White Town [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1599169502402736128 praised]] Todd's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRYO6-gNGzQ OHW video on "Your Woman"]].

* ContentLeak: Around December 21, Todd's video for the "Top 10 WORST Hit Songs of 2023" was leaked as an unlisted video on Todd's Trainwreckords playlist under the false title of "Music/{{Nickelback}}'s ''No Fixed Address''".

** When Blip shut down in 2015, many of the full versions of some of Todd's videos were supposedly lost as they weren't available anywhere due to many reasons. Fortunately, he has been uploading many of them (reviews, ''One Hit Wonderland'', ''Cinemadonna'') to his [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTSjmqzOO-P8HmtVW3t7sA YouTube account]]. As of 2017, he has been re-editing some to re-upload them back to [=YouTube=] (while not getting caught by the copyright bots). A few are only on his Vimeo channel.

* 1. David Guetta & Bebe Rexha: "I'm Good (Blue)"

* The longest video on Todd's channel is "I Fact-Checked The Worst Video Essayist On YouTube", a take-down of the disgraced YouTuber James Somerton that runs for a whopping 1 hour, 42 minutes, and 30 seconds. The longest traditional episode is the ''Trainwreckords'' episode regarding Edgar Winter and Creator/LRonHubbard's "Mission Earth", clocking in at 43 minutes and 16 seconds. In addition, the longest ''Pop Song Review'' is "Am I The Only One" by Aaron Lewis at 25 minutes and 3 seconds, the longest ''One Hit Wonderland'' is Los del Rio's "Macarena" at 25 minutes and 17 seconds, and the longest Top 10 list is "Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 2022" at 41 minutes and 42 seconds.

** Harry Styles would also appear in both the Best and Worst lists for a year (2022) but unlike Rhianna he topped neither.

** Averted in the case of Lady Miss Kier of Deee-Lite, who did ''not'' react positively to Todd's OHW of "Groove Is In the Heart", although she didn't elaborate why beyond saying he was [[https://twitter.com/ladykier/status/479770894555164672 "shamelessly uninformed."]] Todd noted that [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/729729284823199744 he felt particularly haunted by this,]] especially considering that in the video itself he is very positive of the band.

** While he doesn't regret bashing the song, he did admit some regret in jumping on the bandwagon in calling "[[Music/RobinThicke Blurred Lines]]" a rape anthem.

** Todd also isn't a fan of his ''Trainwreckord'' on ''Fairweather Johnson'' by Music/HootieAndTheBlowfish, as he felt that the video amounted to nothing but describing how the album was a SophomoreSlump compared to the band's debut release, with nothing truly disastrous dooming the record to actually talk about. Todd would later change his standards for what classified as a ''Trainwreckord'', so that a ''Fairweather Johnson''-style review doesn't ever happen again.

* FlipFlopOfGod: In regards to "All About That Bass." In his full review of the song, he discusses its themes a lot more than the song itself, saying that [[SoOkayItsAverage it's only OK]]. Come his "Dear Future Husband" review, he's much less wishy-washy: he hates it and says he'd rather eat venomous scorpions than listen to it again. One year later, he said on Twitter that the song sounds great, but the lyrics are still awful (calling the song "a waste").

** The songs featured on ''One Hit Wonderland'' tend to get more attention every time Todd does an episode on them, with many comments on Website/YouTube on music videos mention that Todd brought them there. A case that was not the episode's subject was "Dog Police".
** Todd's ''Trainwreckords'' episode on ''Summer in Paradise'' by Music/TheBeachBoys received renewed attention when livestreamer, Beach Boys fan, and Music/RedVox frontman [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Vinesauce Vinny]] commended it during his June 7, 2020 livestream.

* 5. Music/{{Genesis}}: "Tonight Tonight Tonight"

** The ''One Hit Wonderland'' episode on Skee-Lo's "I Wish" was removed from [=YouTube=] in early June 2023 due to a copyright claim from Altra Moda Music (where the official music video can be found on [=YouTube=]. Even after Todd did the dispute to get it back up, [=YouTube=] had [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1668360003550593024 backed it up]] to at least ten days, rather than the usual two.

* 7. Cher Lloyd: "Want U Back"
